If You Loved Me, Would You Sign A Prenup. Episode 609

Niall opens the lines after receiving a powerful email from a listener facing an unexpected dilemma just months before her wedding.

She’s getting married in May — her second marriage — and believed she had finally found the love of her life. But recently, her fiancé dropped a bombshell. Not one of his own making, he says, but at the insistence of his family, who own a substantial business: they want her to sign a prenuptial agreement “just in case.”

The listener says she feels blindsided, hurt and deeply insulted. If this is about love and commitment, why does money suddenly come into it? And why now?

While prenuptial agreements aren’t fully legally binding in Ireland, judges can and do take them into account when disputes arise. That raises some uncomfortable but important questions.

Are prenups just sensible protection in an uncertain world — especially second marriages and family wealth?
Or are they a massive red flag that trust is already missing?
Would you sign one without hesitation… or would it make you rethink the entire relationship?

Niall wants to hear from you.
