I have always been pro-prenup. I have two businesses and I'll be damned if someone I no longer get along with decides he's just going to take my businesses and everything I've spent half my life building in a divorce. One of my good friends was in a nasty divorce in which her husband cheated on her with their secretary, and then wanted the entirety of the business they built together with her working 70 hour weeks at one point to sustain it. That was such an eye opener for me what people can do, even if they are the ones at fault in destroying the marriage. We would all like to think we could be civil in a divorce, but nope, of all the ones I've seen happening in person, only about 20% are ever shaking hands at the end.

So what about you, would you absolutely insist on getting a pre-nup or do you think like some do, that a pre-nup is just setting your relationship up for pre-failure
