All right, whistle land, it'stime for Ellison Bradley's Float Him or flush
hum, brought to you by theplumbing expert Flush. Here's Ellison Bradley with
this morning's float him or flush himletter, and it goes like this,
Dear Ellison Bradley, my fiance andI had a terrible fight, and I
(00:23):
need to know if he is worthfighting for. Oh it's all about money,
and I'm really upset at how thisall came down between us. My
grandfather passed away in March, andnot long after that I learned through my
parents that he left our family agreat deal of money. I remember that
he and my grandmother owned a lotof land, and when they sold it,
(00:43):
I was in high school at thetime, they put over a half
million dollars in a trust fund forme. My parents also got some money,
but they never told me about myinheritance anyway. My daddy told me
about it a few weeks ago,and that he and my mother were giving
it to me as a wedding gift. He told me that I should get
my fiance to sign a prenup.I think that's Daddy's way of saying he
(01:04):
doesn't like him. And the truthis he doesn't, which is another long
story. Anyway, I told myfiance about the half million dollars and he
got very excited, and when Itold him that I wanted a prenup,
he got very upset. Side note, he did some jail time ten years
ago for robbery, which has neverset well with daddy. No, my
(01:25):
daddy didn't like him now, butgo ahead. My man made his mistake
when he was eighteen and he shouldn'tbe judged for it. That said,
a half million dollars is a lotto trust him with. I'm just so
torn. Any advice, Melissa andAnderson, Melissa, A long engagement ain't
a bad thing, dude. Look, your dad is what Daddy's doe protect
(01:46):
you. It's best to listen.And you know, nobody goes into marriage
thinking they're going to divorce, especiallywhen you're young. I love him forever.
He's gonna love me forever. Butwhen forever has an expiration day,
and it does sometimes then people getangry and they're gonna hurt you the worst
way they can hurt you, andgoing after that money maybe one way he
can hurt you. So you know, I just think, you know,
(02:07):
I don't know how old they were. In face of it, they sound
young, and I would just ifhe doesn't want to, why does he
not want to sign? To sayin the letter he was very excited when
he heard about that. Yeah,but he didn't know about or he did
not know about the money when heproposed. That's so true. So you
know, I'm not saying he's abad guy. She said ten years ago.
He was eighteen when he was apparentlydid Robert upper twenty something like?
Okay, so yeah, he proposedbefore he knew about the money. But
(02:30):
I yeah, no, that that'syour gift from your grandparents. Okay.
So should she float the idea ofhaving this prenup or no marriage or flush
it and just move on and marryhim without the prenup? That's pretty much
our question. I guess that's whatshe wants to know. What do you
guys think if she loves him andtrust him, that she should trust him
with the money. But also,since he did that robbery, it's always
(02:53):
going to be in the back ofhis head that he wants money. But
on me, I would say,hill Man, Yeah, if he loves
her, he will sign the prenup. But if he doesn't sign it,
I say, flush him, Thankyou, baby, thank you,
and I love y'all, guys.I'm at work and I listen to y'all
every day. I say that ifshe don't trust him, if she shouldn't
(03:13):
maim in the first place, Iwould flush you and I would flush him
to Okay, girl, I sayyou should flush him. I'm from Anderson,
and the people in Anderson in thesurrounding area of Anderson signed get him
to sign the pre nups. Hereyour point blank, not all of you
expressed on the show from sign thepre nup because you can always put stipulations
(03:38):
on it. But no, goahead and get the prenup side cut.
Like you said, there is anexpiration date on forever and people will try
to hurt you in the worst way. Yeah. I think that the pre
nup is a hundred percent the bestidea she could come up with. She
should talk to a real estate plannerand lawyer and god the father's opinion no
matter what happens. As one ofthese, she believes said he will not
(04:01):
take it from her even if theydivorced. Um My fiance has a pass.
But I know that even if weif I got that kind of money
and we split up. He wouldn'tsit here and try to take half of
it. He would continue to giveit to because he knows it's mine.
She can put that money in anaccount that he can never touch without her
authorization. So she wants to staywith him. She has ways to protect
(04:25):
the money. He didn't even knowabout this money, neither did she when
he proposed has come into play.Now it's causing problem. Money causes problems.
Money, you know, yeah,problem. My mama would say that
money is the route of all evil, says, but you find I would
say, Melissa, give it tous, Yeah, exactly, give it
(04:46):
to us. Will be stewards ofthe money, yes, exactly, stewards
Or I'll pay off my mortgage.Yes, yes. Daddy doesn't really care
for this, That's what I'm saying. What dad would Dad? Hey,
daddy, because he's a rank,he's got a freezing my dad be like,
(05:09):
and well, thanks for your call. We appreciate it very much.
Listen, Melissa, if you're listening, we hope you are from what we've
seen from the letter we posted alsoon Facebook, and what you folks have
heard on the show this morning.Everyone's saying get the pre nup or flush
the man, right right, Soyeah, to protect yourself and it's just
and I pray you'll be married forfifty years and this has never come up.
(05:29):
