Ideally, you’ll be able to broach the subject of a prenuptial agreement before the actual proposal. Your conversation may go something like this:
“If you trusted me, you wouldn’t need me to sign one.”
“If you trusted me, you wouldn’t mind signing one.”
If it does, call off the wedding. You have a lot more talking to do first.

I've never been close to marriage, and haven't dated it a long time, however I still plan on writing ones of these up when I do get married. I was surprised that my brother and his wife didn't when they got married last year. They have been together for seven years but I still thought they would have. She changed her name too and I wasn't expecting that either. So maybe with them I'm wrong all the way around.
