Unpacking the October 11th Episode
In this episode, the guest, A.D. Dolphin, a multi-millionaire and owner of Dherbs, shares that he called off his engagement because of his partner’s refusal to sign a prenup. It is important to note that Dolphin says that he mentioned wanting and believing in prenuptial agreements before he and his partner even got engaged.
In short, having a prenup in place was nonnegotiable for him, and they discussed why in the podcast. What interests us, though, is the mixed viewer reactions.
Comments ranged from, “Money is his wife, lover and mistress,” to “I completely agree that if you've built something up on your own, you don't want anyone to be able to take it out of spite.” Viewers seem very divided on whether they agree with asking for a prenup at all; many people also agree that you should honor your dealbreakers but feel as if Dolphin is money-obsessed.
The mere mention of a prenup can bring about an air of discomfort, suspicion, and even resentment. But why does this stigma exist?
The negative stigma around prenuptial agreements predominantly stems from the belief that they undermine the sanctity of marriage. Many people perceive prenups as a plan for divorce before the marriage has even begun, igniting feelings of mistrust between partners. This perception can be damaging, causing emotional distress and conflict among couples who choose to enter into these agreements.
Another common misconception is that prenuptial agreements are only for the wealthy or those who wish to hoard their current and future wealth. However, prenups are not created to leave one party financially struggling after divorce, nor are they meant to only protect one party in the event of a divorce.
Prenups Can Make Filing for Divorce Easier
Prenups are important because they provide a degree of financial certainty, protect personal and business assets, account for pre-existing debts, and even detail how matters like spousal support will be handled. Having a prenuptial agreement can make an uncontested divorce much easier and smoother.
Since the prenup already establishes clear guidelines for property division, debt allocation, and spousal support, it eliminates the need for negotiations or court battles. This can drastically reduce the emotional strain and financial burden often associated with divorce proceedings.
