You can both trust someone and have a prenup. The reasoning is that no one is 100% infallible with perfect judgement. Recognizing that you don't have perfect judgement doesn't mean you trust your partner any less.

I'm not sure we align here.

I'm saying that under a prenup, I'd probably be more generous than the laws would allow for. If you're not marrying someone who you would be generous to, why marry them?

If anything, it's the time of marriage that's when I don't have perfect judgement. Pre-nups would be the worst time to sign a contract.
