<prompt> Human: I proposed last weekend. Weve talked about it for a long time, I just finally got around to doing it. Now to the important stuff. Weve been together for over 5 years, lived together for four. Shes extremely responsible with her money, which is one of the reasons I havent really thought I needed one. She pays me a set amount a month for rent, we just kind of split other things like groceries and such. Id say I generally pay for going out to eat, vacations, etc. But I make a lot more than she does, so I dont have a problem with that. Even though we have separate accounts, Id say we both consider things ours. I do own a house, but like I said, shes paying a little over a 3rd of that payment a month.I dont want to sound like I have love blinders on, Im a pessimist generally, but I cant really see the need for one. If something ever did happen where we got divorced, which I really cant see but I know people change, should I still get one? Honestly if that happened, I know myself, and Id be civil and fair about who gets what, I could guarantee that. I really couldnt see her being any other way either, were a lot a like that way.Were not going to have kids, and if we did split, Id feel she was owed at minimum, all of the money she paid towards the house, if not half of the house itself. So, should I still look into getting one? Feel free to be as critical as possible about my views on things. She already asked me if I wanted one, as I technically have more assets than her even though I consider them ours, so getting one wouldnt be an issue. I feel the fact that she asked that speaks to her financial responsibility.tldr have a financially responsible fiance. Can get a prenup if I want, but dont feel like I should. Should I?  <response>: If you dont feel like you should, then dont. To be honest, its probably a waste of time and money for most people.If you do, youll need to consult with a family law attorney to draw one up. Depending on the state, prenups can have a lot of limitations regarding alimony and, to my knowledge, cant affect child supportcustody. In addition, the court is allowed to invalidate aspects of a prenup if the judge determines them to be unjust. This will normally occur in long term marriages if there is a great disparity between spouses incomes and no or little alimony being paid.Point is, a prenup can give you some peace of mind about your finances in case of a divorce but isnt a cure all.
