I can sympathize with you (a tiny bit).  My attitude was not to think about
it, since I loved my spouse-to-be, and intended to make this marriage work.

But, if that ain't good enough, I think that one should know enough about
one's future spouse that one is pretty certain that he/she will be interested
also in a 'fair' divorce settlement, should it happen.  If you don't feel
certain even of that, then you're probably not ready to get married.  In any
case, don't make pre-nuptual agreements.

P.S.  I have tried to reamain calm and open-minded in answering.  My feelings
      are actually much closer to the disgust that other people have shown
      to have.
