Age comes into it? At 25 I would have expected - we are starting a life together, kids etc. we build our wealth together. (unless he/she has inherited grannies fortune?)
In later years *cough cough* I think I would understand more, especially if you have already 'done the split' - lost half of what you built up in a lifetime?
Been in the position where he had a lot more than I did - yes it became an issue - I would have been a lot happier if he had just your average bank acct/hse/car/boat etc. then it wouldn't have been an issue. But there are 'gold diggers' out there and that's life. Never meant to be.
I would have gladly signed a pre-nuptial - but he is still looking for someone who has what he has. His loss

I understand wanting to protect one's self from those nasty gold diggers but if he/she truly trusts and KNOWS you, he would know you are NOT one, right?
I can understand about being happier without all the big bucks. Money sometimes makes people ugly.
In Germany a prenuptial agreement covers whatever party has before they get married. As far as I'm aware there is nothing like this in Ireland.
I wouldn't be with someone just because of what he has and I would expect vice versa. If things go wrong, people just try to hurt each other in every way so at least it leaves each party with what they brought into it. I wouldn't marry someone without a prenup.
I say no because if you truly love me there shouldn't be any papers involved, in the end your wife or husband should be allowed to get what ever the person has. I truly feel like what is ever mine is yours and what's yours is mine and what we split together and goes to our children :-)
