Here is the HUGE difference dude: You have a girlfriend NOT a wife.I’ve been with the same woman for 5 years and she’s fantastic and I enjoy her company. We do a lot together and I think she’s earned it. When our new house is finally finished, I’m going to propose. Can someone please explain what a ceremony changed in your common law partnership?
I’m going to get a prenup to clarify what’s legally mine before we do but besides that, I’m excited about it. Hiding this diamond is going to be difficult.
They know very well that the girlfriend stage is the interview for being a wife so they are on their best behavior. Ask many married dudes how drastically their wife's behavior changes not long after they put a ring on it.
It's only after they have your balls legally in a vice that the bait and switch becomes apparent. I have heard the same thing over and over and over again from friends, family, coworkers etc for decades now.
Also, don't put too much faith in prenups as they are regularly thrown out in court.
