I could be wrong, but I don't believe anyone busts their arse every day their whole life and one day just happily hands over half of all their money, assets, and house that they worked so hard to earn, especially in the case of adultery. I would think that, given the opportunity, most people would want to protect themselves from this.

No. No prenup, but we did agree that whoever leaves takes the kids! Going on 37 years.

Nothing like planning for your divorce before you are even married.....

and call me naive, but I don't think my wife would come after my retirement
I was told "I don't want anything that's not mine" over and over but the ex took half of the retirement funds. She contributed very little during the marriage, spent everything she made, and spent alot of what I made. The good news is that it was a one time payout - I pay for the kids' insurance and half of most expenses but no child support.
If I wasn't lined up for a nice inheritance, I would die of a heart attack at work in my 70's. The next step is to set up trusts so the kids get my money when I pass and she gets nothing.

Didn't have one with first wife which was incredibly stupid because I had significant assets at the time while she had nothing. As a result I spent roughly $100K on lawyers to keep the greedy bitch from getting anything when we split. My second wife and I have a pre-nup because I learned from my previous mistake and also I have more equity in said assets now. In addition, my second wife has assets of her own so she is protected as well. It's a great feeling being with a woman who WANTS to be with you as opposed to a woman who NEEDS to be with you because she can't support herself.

No. If I was ever worried about that I wouldn't have gotten married. Always the way I've viewed it. Some of the people's thought processes in here are just not my thing. Not how I view marriage.

There's no doubt you are.

Nope, but I'm surprised she didnt make me sign one.

My wife and I earn what we earn together. All the stuff we have is because we earned it together. Why shouldn't she get half of it it? Even if all your wife did is stay home with the kids, she's providing a lot more than you give her credit for. At least that's how you come off with posts like the above. Marriage is a partnership as far as I'm concerned. I don't understand how you think your partner shouldn't get anything if you split up.

This.
More power to those that choose to go the prenup route. I can't speak for their relationships/marriages. Not even trying to get on my high horse, here. People have their own reasons for considering/signing prenups.
I'm just thankful/blessed to not have been in a relationship/marriage where that's ever been on the table.

Well in a community property state such as LA, you only split what you acquired as a "community" IE once you are married.
This isn't totally true. Suppose you bought a business for $300k by putting down a $60k down payment. A few years go by and you get married while still owing $200k on the business to your local bank. Then sometime in the future, the business is paid for and making good money, but the wife decides she wants the BBC and y'all split.
Even though the business is your separate property since you acquired it before marriage, the fact you paid off the final $200k AFTER marriage is viewed as paying a separate debt with community money so she will get $100k off the top even if she never did a damn thing but sit around painting her nails. Any improvements made to the business during marriage are considered in the same way.

I think we just look at marriage differently and that's fine.
I don't own anything myself, we own all assets and liabilities together

No, I didn't plan on my marriage failing.

But what if the inheritance is commingled with community property? For example, inheritance cash is combined with community cash? Does that make the inheritance community property?
Would like to know this as well. That scares the shite out of me...
