I’ve always thought that you shouldn’t marry someone you feel the need to defend yourself against.
The thing is, you never know what’s gonna happen. Better safe than sorry. Why do you think your other half’s never gonna let you down?
reply
You should trust the person you’re marrying.
It’s an enormous commitment, prenup or no, and you shouldn’t enter into with someone you’re scared of.
Sometimes you have to be all in for a thing to work.

I get what you’re saying, but I don’t see it as a lack of love or commitment when people want a contract.
reply
The vows are the terms of the contract.
Sometimes you have to burn the bridges behind you as a commitment device.

This, marriage is the anti-hedge affirmation.
If you need a parachute just stay unmarried and vow nothing.

that's what I used to think too, but two of my friends ended up in a bad divorce last year and almost financially ruin.

I appreciate the concern but maintain my position that you shouldn’t marry someone that you have serious concerns about.

This isn't about trusting your partner then, this is about you trusting youself to be a better judge of character than your friends.
Or maybe you know they're ultimately at fault for their behavior in the relationship, and you're not confident that your less of a loser than they are.
Either way, it's an inward problem.
