Marriage talks can bring out unexpected emotions, especially when love and practicality collide.

He thought suggesting a prenup was a responsible next step, but she saw it as a lack of faith in their future together.

AITAH for bringing up a prenup even though we’re already well-off?

I (34M) live in NYC and just got engaged to my fiancée (32F).

We’re both doing really well career-wise — I work in finance, she’s in tech — and together we’ve built up quite a bit (a condo, investments, and decent savings).

So he brought up an idea he thought would protect both of their finances.

Because of that, I mentioned looking into a prenup just to make sure everything is clear.

But his wife didn’t take it well.

She got pretty upset, said it felt like I was basically saying I don’t trust her, and that talking about prenups right after getting engaged makes it feel transactional.

He tries to clarify his intentions, but the damage is already done.

I tried to explain that I wasn’t planning for divorce, just being responsible, especially since we both have assets we’re bringing into the marriage.

Now she doesn’t really want to talk about it anymore, and I feel like I might’ve ruined the engagement mood.

So… AITA for even bringing it up?

He wasn’t necessarily planning for divorce — he was just planning for life.
