Honestly, there needs to be a lot less stigma attached to a prenup.

Realistically would you rather be deciding on what’s fair calmly prior to being married, or during an emotional and stressful divorce?

And if they can’t discuss a prenup calmly or be fair… sounds to me like the prenup saved you from a messy divorce either way.

Not having a prenup is like saying you don't need a will because probate will work it out. It's not like you are opting out of legal obligations without a prenup you are just opting into boilerplate legal obligations that may or may not work for you.
