I'm not going to get that detailed with it. And please don't say things like:
When you go from having a really nice, comfortable life and a good marriage to nothing... I wouldn't wish that on anyone, male or female.
The only point of my post was to show that I have experience with both sides, and if I had to do it again, I wouldn't sign the prenup. How many people in this thread have first-hand experience with both systems?
Sorry to be so general. I could answer your question, but it would take a long time and this really isn't the place for it.

I just got married and we didn't sign one. I have been supporting my wife for the past three years while she finishes up her training. In the next couple of years she will be making more than me.

Damn bro... That's where you go when he talks about his dead wife? I know the OT is a harsh place, but Cmon.

So, if she up and left you the day after she finished her schooling you would still be responsible for the debt she incurred while you were supporting here. She can leave and laugh, just thanking you for paying her way. Not saying that is what the future holds, just an outcome that our court system would gladly serve you.

I have some well to do friends that got the Catholic Church wedding but not the state one. No marriage license.
They say being married in the eyes of God is all that matters and they file as single on their taxes and avoid the legal marriage traps.
Not that they've tested that. I dunno. They march to the beat of their own drummer.

This is my gf's (of 2 years) response when I inquired about prenups:
Haha I feel like rich people should definitely worry about that. But for the common man, it doesn't seem as necessary. I guess I never fully thought about it because it always seemed a celebrity/upper class thing to me. Though I wouldn't mind being upper class and having to worry about a prenup! I guess it's a smart protection to put in place, kinda like insurance.
Nah, I don't think it's lack of faith. It's protection. You control yourself, not others, and forever is a long time. Just because you get a prenup doesn't mean you'll divorce. It also makes a divorce far less messier if it got that far.

I would say only Betas cant control their relationships.
My wife and I are a team. We make sure we take care of ourselves, each other and our kids.
If I ever fail at this relationship, I will be glad to give her what she needs. Its because of her, that I have made it where I am today. She is the mother of my kids and has sacrificed a ton for me.
Hell, when we get married neither one of us truly knew the amount of work we would undertake to create the family we have now.
Also, I didnt marry a crazy, greedy bitch. That is probably the real reason I didnt even think about it.

Not really. Her school debt is tied to her and her parents. I made sure I was insulated from that. By support, I mean I paid the lion's share of the rent and all expenses. If she leaves (which I seriously doubt) then I won't lose anything more than I would have if we were only dating. Well, except for a couple of rings.

going through this with the fiancee right now.
its not easy to talk about to her (as one could imagine) she says she will sign it but that she doesn't really understand them

Because people going into a marriage who leave bail out provisions generally bail out. Why is that so hard to understand. If you are going to commit, you need to accept the consequences.

Ditto.
My wife and I were college sweethearts, and marriage is most definitely rooted in teamwork. We totally share responsibilities for caring for/raising our two-year old, house chores, etc., and have the same accounts.
Honestly, if you can make it through the agony that is the first few months of joint finances, you don't need a prenup.
Honestly, not to be too much of a jerk, but marry the right woman and you don't have to worry about a prenup. My wife is a great wife, wonderful mother, devoted to our family, and most importantly...not crazy.

A relationship where two people can simply decide to walk away at the end of a given day is not a truly committed relationship.
