I have a dilemma with my soon-to-be husband.. we have a 20 year age difference but I have some family wealth that I've inherited and will soon be inheriting some more. My family are absolutely adamant that I get a prenuptial agreement in place before we marry. Their reasoning for this is that I have a lot more life to live and if things went south with my partner then he would take half of everything I have and enjoy his retirement on me essentially. I absolutely adore my partner and I just can't bare the idea of suggesting such a thing to him, I feel like he would feel untrusted and judged. I really don't know what to do. My family say that if the roles were reversed and he was the one with money, everyone would insist he gets a prenup incase I was some sort of gold-digger etc. Do people really still think like that these days?
YABU - listen to your family
YANBU - don't suggest it, it will hurt him
