And she married a finance bro.

And she insisted on a prenup.

And she wanted whoever paid the down payment on an apartment or a house and covered most of the financials, that they would get that property in the event of a divorce.

And I thought, what?

Why would you do that if you're the lesser earning partner?

And

She said, well, you know, what if I book a show?

What if I get a movie?

And so I think, yeah.

And so I also think that there's a lot of manifesting that can happen in these prenups.

I spoke to a researcher who studies something called the optimism bias.

And she said that prenup signers suffer from this.

So what does that mean?

It means that you can hear that the divorce rate is 50%.

But when someone says, and you and your partner, do you think you'll ever get divorced?

You're going to say no.

And that actually can impact marriage.

what you get in a prenup, what you think that you want in a prenup, because you might agree to less favorable terms.

You might even ask for less favorable terms because you want to show your partner that you're not in it for the money.

I do wonder sometimes, what does it mean to kind of go into the messiness of marriage, thinking so much about what's mine, what's yours?
