@wottheberry Not a fan of prenups myself, but yeah, he was totally a douchebag. And yeah, he probably planned on eventually cheating on her…if he doesn’t already have some side piece…
my sister's fiancé comes from a wealthy family and insisted on a prenup before their wedding next month. he sat her down with his lawyer and basically presented a document that said if they divorce, she gets absolutely nothing.. even if she quits her job to raise their future kids.
he told her it was just "protecting his family legacy."
she didn't argue.
she just handed the paper back and said, "okay, but we need to add a clause that says if you cheat, you owe me $500k for career damages."
y'all.
this man completely lost his mind. he started screaming that she was "money-hungry," that she didn't trust him, and that marriage shouldn't be a business transaction.
funny how men are completely logical and pragmatic when they're trying to strip a woman of her future financial security, but the second you ask them to put a price tag on their own loyalty, it becomes an emotional tragedy.
he didn't want to protect his legacy, he just wanted a free pass to behave badly without any consequences.
NO WOMAN just wakes up & decides to be distant, cold, guarded, or TOXIC. That attitude you see. That tone in her voice. That wall she built. It came from somewhere. From BETRAYAL. From being lied to, disrespected, & let down too many times. Us women are naturally loving & soft, but if you keep HURTING someone who only wanted to love you right, 🫶🏾 don't be surprised when that love becomes PROTECTED.📌
I have a theory that men don’t like being alone bc they would then have to care for themselves. Women want to be alone bc we are tired of caring for everyone else when no one takes care of us...
Men are the real gold diggers. they expect you to give them your body, play maid, cook their meals, raise their kids, clean their mess, pamper their fragile egos, and take the brunt of emotional labor, all while holding down a job and splitting the bills
So many women have decentered men in their lives. They are more independent, exposed, and educated than ever before. Many are consciously refusing to repeat the experiences of older generations of women who suffered under strict patriarchal systems.
The problem is that while many women have changed their expectations, some men are still entering marriage with the same patriarchal ideas they were raised with, even though society has changed. That's where a lot of the conflict begins.
i never want a man to settle for me. Go find your dream woman, and if you can't find her, don't use me to fill the gap. I want mine clingy, passionate, reassuring, unapproachable, God fearing, and locked in on me only.
A woman's intuition is dangerous. If she keeps questioning you about a specific topic over and over again, she isn't really looking for an answer. Most of the time, she already knows the truth but wants to see if you're going to be honest with her
I know I’m projecting when I say this, because I’m a victim of domestic violence, but I also know the facts. The last thing you want as a woman, is a man that has financial control over you. Always have something on the side. Don’t ever give a man that type of power over you.
