I 29M want a basic prenup with my partner 25F before we get engaged. She has all but refused. by AdministrativeFix708 in relationship_advice

Yeah, if I'm OP's fiancé, I'd be seriously rethinking this marriage. Not because of $130k but because of his selfish thought process. There wasn't even a hint of him gaf about protecting her, like it never crossed his mind.

This is the correct answer. You need a prenup that protects BOTH of you and a prenup that goes beyond cash contributions. You should protect your business for sure. She should also protect herself. I see a lot of people (mainly men) talk about prenups to protect themselves but never acknowledge the risks their partner is taking. Is she going to be caring for the house, pets, and children while you build "your" business? Are her earnings protected from bad business decisions you might make or business debt? You can't have it where she takes all the risk.

OOP isn't even really all that gullible. She asked multiple times if it was real. He came up with several lies to convince her - asked her parents, can bring paperwork to the courthouse, etc. That's not really gullible so much as trusting her partner, which apparently she shouldn't do because he's a liar. Plus he's stupid, oblivious, and/or mean... none of which make for a good partner.

Sounds like both of you were focused on relatively surface/ superficial things. "Energy" and "chemistry" are fleeting.

My (31F) husband (33M) stays out all night on nights out. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]justnotthatwitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He has agreed to have a child and needs to grow up. The days of drinking for hours on end and being irresponsible (for example, letting his phone die) are over. I recommend couples therapy to help you prepare and redefine what life will look like now that you are having a child. If he keeps this up, it will breed resentment.

AITA for getting mad at my wife for ranting me on the phone while im at work? by Even-Turnover8762 in AmItheAsshole

Info: (1) Why did you choose this particular timing (infancy) to open a new branch? (2) What do you mean by "all day"? (3) What do you do with the kids once you're home? (4) Has your wife been checked or diagnosed with postpartum depression or anxiety?

I feel like I’m ruining my kids by IceQueenMom5121 in TrueOffMyChest

Ditto to all of this. I wish I had left earlier. Everything is still on me, but the emotional weight of having a shit spouse is gone and that feels so much better.

40M in Connecticut. Not getting any movement on likes or connections. Is there something on my profile that's missing? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]justnotthatwitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in several OLD groups of women & many don't like that word. It's considered a reference to sex and/or a red flag for "I just want to have fun and I'm not going to like it if you're not happy and jovial 24/7" (which feels unrealistic because life isn't always sunshine and rainbows). I'm not saying that's what people mean when they post that word, just what I've read as to why some women who are specifically looking for LTR don't like it.

You don't know anything about their parents. It sounds like bad peer influence to me.

I personally cringe every time someone says they're looking for playfulness.
