Here is where you lose me. I'm not married and far from an expert but isn't the legal part kind of a big deal? Certainly more than a formality.

The idea that someone, other than myself, could have an equal share of the wealth that I've created for myself is highly unappealing. I know that sounds selfish, and well , it probably is but it's a reality none the less. If I do ever get married one thing is for sure, a prenuptial agreement is in order.

I'm no expert either but my understanding is that any property/assets you bring into the marriage remain yours if there is a divorce. Sounds simple but over time (20 years??) it gets hard to define what each party had going in. My divorce lawyer told me to get a pre nup, I ignored her advice so hopefully my new marriage lasts or I can dig up all the paper work to prove all that legal stuff.
I'm not to worried about money as long as are kids are taken care of. I never really thought about it that much to be honest.
It sounds like some on here really do. Rightfully so in some cases.
