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 didn't know you were wealthy.
As I understand it, in Alberta, after two people have lived together for 3 years, they are considered common-law, and the assets would be split.
So, married or not, He/She gets half... Prenup or not.
