Wealthy fiancé insists on prenup to protect his assets, but refuses to pay for his fiancée to get a lawyer, despite him earning 10x more than her, sparking dispute over financial trust: 'Said I could trust him and sign without a lawyer'

Marriage is the bond of two people sharing everything in life: a relationship, a home, and, if they're lucky enough, a family (whatever it may look like to them). But why is it that so many couples are happy to share every element of their lives, except when it comes to their finances?

The fact that he keeps telling her that she must trust him and that she doesn't need a lawyer looking at it seems to be slightly concerning. If he values his protection so much, surely he should feel the same for the woman he loves?
