re: Why doesn’t everyone sign a pre-nup?

This is such a crock of shite I can't stand it when people say it. There's not a damn thing wrong with everyone protecting their shite going into a marriage. Hell it may even reduce resentment, somebody may resent their spouse if they know they'll get half their shite if they divorce

Some people are more trusting than others. I have had numerous partners in business and one wife, whom I’ve been with since 1979. My main business partners were with me for 25 years. I picked people whom I could trust and I trusted them. Without reservations I trust that I could put my accumulated wealth in the hands of any one of those people and it would treated as a sacred trust and returned to me. I believed this; I acted on that belief; and I’ve never been disappointed.

If I lost my wife and remarried I would not ask my new wife to sign a prenuptial agreement. I would pick an honorable woman and place my fate in her hands, and I would not be let down.

However, I have a talent for judging people. I know people who clearly do not have that talent. I can’t blame them for insuring themselves against their own bad judgement.
