We all thought she was a sweetheart. Until they broke up and she made his life hell. Expensive life lesson that was.

I guess that is the sad part in all of this. You absolutely need to protect yourself I just struggle with the whole trust factor. But I also come from a background of your take what you earned. I couldn't in good conscience take half of someone's property I had no part in acquiring (I understanding getting back what you put in). I had a friend get screwed over when he pumped a significant inheritance into paying of his house he bought before marriage and she split and took half shortly after.
It is rough out there. I am one of the lucky ones I guess, I have nothing for anyone to take.
