How would you feel if your spouse asked you for a post-nup?
Without going into too much detail to try and stay anonymous, husband and I own a business together that I run and take care of 98%. It was my dream to do this from when I was a teenager and I busted my ass and sacrificed a lot to get here.
I’m thinking about asking my husband for a post-nup designating it to me in the event of a separation or divorce (note: we are currently separated, trying to reconcile).
I just feel like it’s something I’ve been planning from so young, saved the majority of the money for from my income before and after we were married, and I’m the one who runs it now essentially. It scares me to think that he could take half of something that he’s put almost no effort in, just because we signed a piece of paper.
However I am concerned even brining it up could be damaging to our marriage, which is what we’re trying to fix…
