Wealthy fiancé insists on prenup to protect his assets, but refuses to pay for his fiancée to get a lawyer, despite him earning 10x more than her, sparking dispute over financial trust: 'Said I could trust him and sign without a lawyer'

Marriage is the bond of two people sharing everything in life: a relationship, a home, and, if they're lucky enough, a family (whatever it may look like to them). But why is it that so many couples are happy to share every element of their lives, except when it comes to their finances?

It's strange, isn't it? That people are so willing to get married, yet in the back of their minds, they are still constantly considering protection from the what-ifs. Like, suddenly, For Richer and For Poorer, only really applies to the richer part… We understand the appeal of a prenup as a way to protect one's assets, especially those with immense wealth. However, it's scary to think that you would one day need financial protection against the person you're about to marry, or that they would want that from you…This soon-to-be bride would know, a PhD student not earning as much compared to her fiancé, she has accepted his request to sign a prenup, something she didn't quite think about ever doing previously…

Her one condition? If he wants the prenup so badly, he can be the one to pay for her lawyer, who will ensure the agreement is fair for her, too. So that one day, she cannot be blamed for her name signed in ink, upon something she never truly understood many moons ago. The fact that he keeps telling her that she must trust him and that she doesn't need a lawyer looking at it seems to be slightly concerning. If he values his protection so much, surely he should feel the same for the woman he loves?
