Some see prenups as smart protection, others as a red flag for trust issues.
This woman had no problem signing one before marrying her future husband—a deal meant to protect his family’s home, something he insisted on. But before they tied the knot, she was in a serious accident and is now set to receive a multimillion-dollar settlement.
She’s still perfectly fine with honoring the prenup, except now her fiancé is the one trying to back out. Puzzled by his sudden change of heart, she turned to the internet to ask if she’s wrong for wanting to stick to their deal.
Read the full story below and tell us what you think.

A prenuptial agreement, or prenup, is a contract couples sign before marriage to decide how their assets will be handled if the relationship ends.
It sounds simple enough, but for many, a prenup comes with emotional baggage. Some see it as a sign of mistrust or assume it means one partner already expects the marriage to fail. Others think it’s cold, unromantic, or a way to avoid supporting a spouse.
In reality, a prenup is a practical tool that helps couples set clear expectations before tying the knot. Experts often compare it to an insurance policy—something you hope you’ll never need but will be grateful for if things go wrong.

Ellevest, a platform specializing in wealth management and financial planning for women, points out several reasons why prenups can be a smart move.
First, prenups aren’t just for the ultra-wealthy. They can protect any asset,whether it’s a family home, savings account, car, or small business. They also cover future income, helping ensure that anything you earn or build during the marriage remains yours.
It also works the other way around.
A prenup protects you from debts your partner may have before marriage or even debts they rack up later. In some cases, spouses can be held responsible for each other’s financial obligations, whether they agreed to them or not. A clear prenup can prevent you from having to pay off debts that were never yours.
Besides legal protection, a prenup opens the door for honest conversations about money—talks many couples avoid until problems arise. Being upfront about finances can strengthen trust and build a healthier foundation for the relationship.
In fact, studies show that couples who sign a prenup often feel closer afterward. One survey found that 83% of couples said the process made them feel more connected and secure.
So when a partner suddenly changes their stance on a prenup, especially after insisting on one, it raises more than legal concerns. It highlights questions about trust, fairness, and how both partners see their future together.
