I hope someone out there has some thoughts on how I can handle a situation with my husband. I have been married for the second time, for about two years. I came into the marriage with considerable investments in real estate and mututal funds. Against my better judgement, I did not ask my spouse for a prenuptial agreement before we married. While I love him dearly, I am concerned about my financial future if things don't work out (too many stepteens making life difficult!).<P>My question is, how do I ask him for a post-marital agreement without hurting his feelings? I want to protect what I brought to this marriage. He has always said "what was yours is yours and what was mine is mine" but I know that in the heat of conflict, attitudes can change. He is not much of a saver, did not have a house before we married (we live in mine).<P>Any thoughts you might have on this are much appreciated.

Bell,<P>I recommend you get some legal advice to find out what is the law where you live.<BR> <BR>Where I live, investments brought into a marriage, such as mutual funds and real estate that is not your primary residence, are not considered common property.
