An ‘AITA’ for signing a prenup on Reddit has taken readers by surprise with its rather unexpected ending. If you’re in the mood for a giggle, look no further!
Reddit’s stories are often filled with emotional content, like the story of a cheating partner or a father who choose his wife and their family before his child. The post that we will be tackling today is sure to have you in tears at the end.
Reddit user asks ‘AITA for signing a prenup’
The OP asks if she is in the wrong for signing a prenup without all facts being known and fellow Reddit users think the decision couldn’t have worked better in her favor.
This story concerns a couple who are about to be married. Reddit’s user is from a place where ransom can be common. People are reluctant to discuss their wealth. But the OP’s father is a citizen of the United States and she went to university in a Western country to improve her English-speaking skills although she was born in Texas.
In the same college, she also met her current husband. Although the OP believes her fiance to be a good person, it seems that his family thinks otherwise.
But the woman wasn’t too bothered by her fiance’s family until they brought up the topic of prenup, which she and her partner both thought was unnecessary.
The guy’s father is a lawyer and his mother works in real estate, so the OP assumes they make enough for a decent living.
Moreover, her fiance works for a FAANG company and she would take up a job in the bank upon finishing her master’s. It was only natural that the couple thought they didn’t need a prenup because they wouldn’t get divorced, but the guy’s parents insisted on having their future daughter-in-law sign the prenup only because they came from “different” backgrounds.
The parents-in-law are disappointed when they learn the truth
When the fiance’s father threatened to hold back on the wedding present, which was a downpayment for the couple’s future home, they decided to sign the prenup. Even though the OP thought the money from her future father-in-law wasn’t needed, her partner felt otherwise.
The OP’s father hired a lawyer to look into the prenup once both parties reached an agreement and they went about their wedding preparations.
However, things took a different turn when the OP’s sister, who is also her maid of honor, threw an extravagant bachelorette party entirely funded by their father.
Overall, the cost of this party was $200,000, including flights, hotel rooms, food and other activities. The money spent on one event prompted the OP’s sister-in-law to find out about more the bride’s father and the wealth their family has amassed. But her fiance’s parents were later upset with her for not disclosing details about the family wealth, which the OP argues isn’t hers as it belongs to her father and her grandmother.
She is a TA, but her in-laws accuse her of tricking him into signing a prenup before presenting the full facts.
The unexpected end has left users hysterical
Reddit users can’t help but laugh at the parents-in-law for putting themselves in a situation that was uncalled for.
“They didn’t want her gold-digging but they sure wanted her money,” said one.
Another added: “They weren’t expecting her to have money cause of where she came from, jokes on them.”
“NTA, but the in-laws are. The prenup is more than fair since they initiated it,” read one comment.
Another wrote: “That’s what they got. This is hilarious.”
