Re: He wants a pre-nup, I feel horrible and insulted.
if you don't mind me asking, why did you get divorced? What were the circumstances of the marriage? I'd be the first to admit I don't know everything about marriage, so I'm curious to know.
This! I have gone to therapy on and off for as long as I can remember. I do not have any mental illnesses that I'm aware of (I've been tested, multiple times, for my own peace of mine). However, sometimes, you just need someone impartial to talk to when shit just doesn't feel right.
Not to mention, a "good man" is not going to just turn into a bad one for no reason. FFS.
I myself have a business. And I would sign a prenup to not only protect the business itself, but so that my BF, if he ever becomes my FI and then husband, is protected from being stuck with the responsibilities of running it, paying the bills, etc. It's only fair.
People do not (normally) enter marriages with the intention that they will fail, but many still fail.
A prenup should have no bearing on your relationship. Unless you have played a major role in the development of his business, you should be respecting this wish of his enough to consider it without emotion.
However, it seems to be surfacing existing insecurities that you have. If you truly believe that your fiance is attempting to set your marriage up for failure, you need to postpone your wedding and deal with that.
You'll never be subject to a cash bar, gap, potluck wedding, or b-list if you marry a Muppet Overlord.
