Valid concerns

By Gutted - 02/03/2026 00:00

Today, my boyfriend admitted he didn't want to marry me, not because he doesn't want to spend his life with me, but because he'd seen two friends get ruined by divorce settlements, and he "doesn't want my hooks in him." I love him with all my heart and would never dream of pulling a marriage con. FML

After hearing him talk like that about you, why would you still *want* to marry him?

What a jerk. "Hooks in him"? One way to play this is to break up, and then in about a year, have him hear through mutual friends that you inherited a fortune or won the lottery or some story. When he wants to get back together, tell him you don't want to be ruined by a divorce settlement; you don't want him to have any hooks in you.

Jesus Christ, who hurt you? A breakup and a revenge plan over a year because he's afraid of losing things in a divorce, and used a stupid phrase? Seriously, what the f is wrong with you, and who brainwashed you into thinking relationships are wars?

Fine then, offer to sign a prenup. That’s the solution to this problem and considering guys are now losing their pants, and with kids, custodies, he’s definitely got a valid point. I’m lucky my first divorce didn’t include vindictive actions, but prenups were made to settle this issue. The red flag is if one of the parties refuses to sign one. A well written prenup protects both parties equally
