We've been together for 3 years and now he's bringing up the prenup idea out of nowhere. I know he went through a rough divorce in his family before, but it kind of hurts me that he wants to protect himself like that. Has it become normal by 2026 or is it just that he doesn't trust us?
Don't take it as a lack of trust in you - it's often just self-defense after seeing or going through complicated stuff. A prenup is just pragmatism - it protects both of you, not just him - and honestly it's become way more common, especially when people have a messy family history or complicated finances. The thing is to really talk it through with him: understand what exactly scares him, and if it hurts you, say that clearly too. Some couples go through it and it doesn't change a thing about their commitment, others decide together not to do it. It's a conversation, not a judgment call.
