Don't trust the other person? Hahaha, YES. It means you don't trust them not to ruin your life after something horrible happens and you split. I've seen first hand the petty bullshit that comes out of a divorce. It's way ugly.
A prenup is exactly what I said: a safety mechanism for possible failure. A way to deal with things IF your marriage doesn't work out. You're all "But we're in LOVE!" until she drops the d-bomb one fine Monday morning and tries to take half of your assets in a settlement that feels very much like anal rape.
Considering the fact that the divorce rate hovers around half and people with three and four ex-partners are rather common... how many times do you want to lose your house and cars before you "get it right?"
Relationships work all the time. At least half, right?
