So I am engaged to my boyfriend (now fiance) and the truth is, I am only with him for his money, and he is only with me for my good looks. We are getting married very soon, and he is probably going to have an affair and cheat on me sometime in the future but that’s fine with me.

Context: I am aromantic, so I don’t really feel love, ever. Because I am with him, I get to take my friends on holidays twice a year etc. He knows I do not love him. He gets to show me off to friends and I do the housework. Its a win win.
FAQ:
- What if he leaves you?
- I have a masters degree and 100k in savings
- What if he makes you sign a prenup?
- I will sign it. A prenup is a pre-negotiated set of terms before a marriage in case of divorce. Its not just “she doesnt get anything”.
If there is a prenup, I will ask for the condo and one of the cars along with maybe one other property. I am not sure there will be though, because we are ring shopping and it has not yet come up
Netizens’ comments
- I think it’s fine if you are both on the same page and ok with the arrangement. This is how marriage has worked for many couples for thousands of years.
- Listen, I married for love & I’ve been broke all my life. You do you, sista.
- My best friend and I joke around all the time that we’re going to marry some rich old guys and then marry for love after they die. We happened to be saying this while at Victoria’s Secret one day when the woman in front of us turns around and says “I did it, it wasn’t worth it.”
- I’M SORRY, I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF MY FERRARI
- I have divorced in exchange for debt, does that count?
