The problem is that marriage is one of those very few relationships that's design to be all-in or not exist at all. Even signing something like a prenup is seen as incredibly suspicious. All your financial decisions have to be based on the fact that you and your partner are going to stay together til death do you part.

Hm, in my environment prenup is the standard if one or both of the person's involved are wealthy, people kinda accepted that marriage tries to be forever but often isn't.

(Germany, Berlin, neither poor nor rich through sometimes slightly wealth family social circle)

Everyone who gets married signs a pre-nup.

The difference is that a few people people pay to have a custom one drafted for them, and everyone else just accepts whatever default one their jurisdiction provides.
