I really don't think its ever about the money in the begining anways, so I don't think this would save much hassle. When it's time to leave, she'll still feel entiled to more....and there's no gaurantee that she's hanging around because of love...she might just hang around because "there's more where that came from".
I was half joking but the simple answer is that most women over a certain age do factor in men's ability to provide for them in the equation. Regardless of if they will be working or not. At one extreme the guy is a co-investor in life, at the other he is the sole provider.
Every man must wonder if he is desirable and attractive or if his income is. It is much worse when the girl was or is an SP. From her perspective she has to ask "Is he trying to buy me? does he respect me? Does he love me? Will he try and control me with money?" From his there are equally troubling questions "Does she love me for me? Will she abandon me if she sees a better sucker / if I lose my money / if she gets her hands on my money?"
They are just part of the package deal. In my limited experience of 1 man, the pre-nup was a disaster. I was trying to take nothing to prove I wanted him and he was trying to give me most of it to prove he was not trying to control me. We had some huge heated discussions over that. Over all no one walked away convinced.
LL sort of cut away the BS and transferred a rather big chunk of assets to me. Enough that I could live very comfortably for the rest of my life. Basically he set me free. And I settled in with him for ever. I knew he had given up the money card. And he knew I elected to be with him.
For us it worked. It was a huge gamble on his part. If he was wrong, he would have lost well over 10 % of his life time accumulated wealth. That is a lot for a guy in his late 50s. Risking that much for me made me fall even more deeply in love with him.
Also if we end it, in theory I walk with what is mine and he walks with what is his. Simple.
The real secret is communicating and growing together. I guess someone peeking into our place would think we are slightly updated old folks. I love sitting on the couch with him and having my feet rubbed. Most often he is using his PC to track trends and figure out a way to make money, and I am on this or one of the other forums. 21st century version of sitting, rocking, and watching the people go bye?
BUt we talk a lot, about everything. And that helps a lot. And we natter. God do we ever natter.
Do not give up on love, just accept it is the hardest job imaginable, and the most rewarding.
