Subject: What should I do? How should I do it?
Dear Steve and Shirley, my boyfriend and I have been discussing marriage. I really love this man and I can’t wait to be his wife. I am a single mother with 2 children and I have been blessed with a good job, two cars, a home, two vacation homes and an income property. I owned these things before we got together. He is a wonderful boyfriend and I love him very much, but my salary is about 3 times more than his. That sometimes causes some complications in the relationship because he doesn’t always agree with how I spend my money. So, I feel that legally, I should ask him sign a pre-nup before we get married. I say this because I have two children that are not by him and I want to make sure that if anything happens to me, my assets and things go to my children. I wonder if I ask him to sign it, if the dynamics of our relationship would change and he would feel like I don’t trust him. I’m a little afraid of what might happen between us if I ask, but at the same time I have to be careful and do what I think is best for me and my children. Help me address this and get it done without him feeling like I don’t trust him or love him more than my things. Do you think I should ask him to sign a pre-nup at all? Please help!
