People Share How Money Issues Ended Their Relationships

“Our marriage hasn’t been easy, and after our third anniversary, a clause in our prenup provides a financial lump sum for me in the event of a divorce. In the past three weeks, things had been going so well with us. My husband tried to get me to remove the clause, decrease the amount by 2/3, and finally push the date out a year. Our third anniversary is in three days. I felt strongly about adhering to the terms of the prenup (that was his idea).”

“So today he had me served with divorce papers…twice. The sheriff came, and later, another process server met me in my driveway and gave me the papers again. I guess he wanted to be sure I got served before the deadline.

I loved him. I’m so disappointed and angry. Being told you’re just not worth the monetary risk hurts. I could have agreed to modify the prenup to keep our marriage going so that part is on me, but I didn’t think it was fair to ask me to change it. We worked hard to reach that agreement with lawyers the right way so everything was equitable.

He always told me the worst part about having money is the idea you might lose it. I hope he and his money are happy together. Actually, I just hope he doesn’t do this to anyone else.”
