Husband changes his mind about prenup. Now, wife makes three times more than him

A woman shared her concerns about her husband wanting to annul their prenuptial agreements, now that she is three times more in income than him.

The 32-yearold woman claimed that she has been married for six consecutive years to her 34 year-old husband.

She stated that he wanted a prenup in order to properly protect the Nebraska property he owns and to repay her grad school debts. They have never shared their financial information, other than a shared household expenses account. She said they don’t live in an expensive state so she contributes around $1000 to $1200 to the household a month.

After spending a lot of money and purchasing a nice car, he said he wanted to cancel the prenup.

Posting to the Am I The A**hole subreddit, the woman said she agreed to sign the prenup before tying the knot because she “understood he wanted to protect himself” as he was on a good wage at the time, whereas her financial situation wasn’t as healthy as she was in graduate school.

Now, she’s been out of graduate school for four years and she estimates she makes more than three times her husband’s salary. Although they don’t talk about how much they get in their payslips, she knows her husband, a software engineer, was on around $90,000 when they got together.

Although he’s been promoted in that time, she reckons she still earns three times as much as he does.

She is a nurse anaesthetist and a qualified nurse. Her hourly rate is $175. She can also work up to 48 hours per day, which equates to $435,000 before taxes.

After purchasing a new car for her own use, she brought up the subject of the prenup two weeks ago.

He expressed his gratitude for her and inquired about the monthly payments. He was surprised to find out that she had paid the entire amount in one lump sum.

She stated that: “He was taken back and asked with what money and I answered that I made more than enough money to be able to afford it.

“He didn’t talk after that and I thought that was that, however after a few hours he came back to me and told [me] that he thinks we should void the prenup.”

In her response, she “laughed in his face”And he asked her why she would. He told her as they’re married they should share finances.

She continued: “I told him that we’ve been married for six years and yet we’ve never shared financials and I was fine with what we were doing, and his sudden change of heart was very suspicious.

“He called me a bunch of names and stormed out and didn’t come home and I guess he told his family about our fight and they called to berate me and say how he supported me while I was in school (he didn’t) and now am wondering if I was the a**hole?”

The top comment with 25,000 votes reads: “Not gonna lie, you two don’t sound like partners. You sound like you’re against each other in life. Take this change of heart as the red flag that it is and consider how you want to proceed.”Another commenter said: “He was happy to treat you like a gold digger until he wanted to become one himself.”

Another agreement was made in writing “So he wanted the prenup initially to protect his money because you didn’t have much, and now you have more money he wants to void the prenup so he can have more of your money? Hmm. No wonder you laughed in his face.”

Another said they would have laughed too, but said they found it strange that they weren’t open about their finances with each other. They shared: “He wanted the prenup and he got it. Don’t back down.”

In an update, she said that when she previously asked what salary he was on he would tell her it’s “rude”Ask. She continued: “He’s never really been interested in my career or job and we don’t bring our work home.”

She thanked everyone who had contributed and said that it provided her with food for thought.

She wrote: “This post has really made me question everything in my life, I think am going to take a leave of absence from my work to sort out my life. My husband was only my second relationship and I guess I was too caught up in school, work and debt to really see that my marriage was a sham. [I] am not blameless which is hard to swallow, so I am going to have [a] conversation with my husband and see where we go from here if anywhere.”
