The fact that he's already considering divorce means he doesn't know what marriage is. Sure, it's real it could happen, but it doesn't sound like she's the right one, or like he's ready for marriage, if he's not willing to tell her all his secrets! And thus, he's considering lying to her, because withholding is a type of lie, and thus will have set up the marriage to fail from the beginning.
So, yeah, maybe figure out what marriage really is before considering getting married and keeping lies.
This is something a manipulative fortune seeker would say.
Wow.
There are other ways of protecting assets if that's his biggest concern - truthful ones that are actually legal. This plan is a lousy one, and it's laying a foundation of deception. That's not helpful in the fiat system, and easily as destructive in marriage.
That he has engaged her but hasn't already told about all his financial secrets means he doesn't trust her, since part of trust is speaking truth. In a relationship as intimate as engagement and marriage, if he hasn't told her about all his financial secrets, since your relationship is only sick as it's secrets, then he doesn't have a real intention to marry her in his heart. Their relationship isn't built on truth, but lies and or a series of omissions.
He should either tell her immediately about as many of his secrets as he can think of, especially the ones that would give her a reason to break up with him, or break off the engagement and learn to speak truth to himself and other people as a way of life.
It seems like the dude is already thinking about a potential divorce. He seems wise.
> he doesn't have a real intention to marry her in his heart
Maybe it's because he has a functioning brain and knows how modern marriage works instead of thinking like it's a Disney fairy tale.
Wisdom builds highly authentic relationships based on spoken truth and truth in action, since a relationship is only as sick as its secrets, practicing secret minimization.
How modern marriage works is a misnomer.
A man doesn't marry modern marriage which is an opaque phrase.
A man marries a woman, one specific women, not a marriage apparatus.
Marriage wasn't created by imperfect men or women.
Marriage was created by God, who is Good.
Therefore, marriage is covenant which is deeper and more profound and real than any man or woman made ideology, and any attempt to denigrate or erode it.
Building a potential marriage relationship is relatively simple.
Speak the truth kindly about everything, and expect reciprocation.
If he or she doesn't reciprocate, reject him or her and move on.
Repeat until you find someone who will reciprocate, with similar values, who you also want to have sex with, and who thinks and feels the same about you, and aligns on life dreams and vision.
Then get married.
Then continue being radically kindly truthful forever, while they do the same with you, while learning and having fun together and adulting and having sex as a habit of interpersonal contribution.
If you do this, whatever bullshit lies about marriage that are trending in popular culture won't really matter because the truth and trust in your covenant marriage under God will be far more powerful and durable and in some sense, eternal.
The problem with him and with you, is neither of you yet grok what marriage covenant is, and it colors what you say in ways that are not true.
But if you seek to grok the reality of covenant marriage as God created and defined it, and live from those values, as long as you are healthy and functional and assert your boundaries and don't compromise on what you really want and kindly speak truth, you will dodge many bullets and eventually find the woman you want, like I did.
If you want to know how to prepare yourself for marriage and find someone you want to be with forever, read our book called, "How to Prepare Yourself for Marriage."
If he has to wonder, he's not ready to marry her. Maybe she's not the one, or he's not who he needs to be. But trust is lacking.
I get that divorce is a real threat in our world. But if his goal is to get through to the end of a divorce with his 10 BTC still a secret, that's a pretty sickening start.
Marry the one you want to leave your BTC to when you die. Teach him or her to stack sats better than you do - be a team. Think generational wealth, not divorce survival.
> when you die.
You can leave your 12-word or 24-word recovery phrase in your testament.
> Think generational wealth, not divorce survival.
Why not both?
At first: do NOT marry. Therefore the question is obsolete
