I'm a product of a failed marriage and I witnessed how my mother screwed over my dad big time even when she was the one that cheated on him. Ever since I'm paranoid of marriage and I'd like to understand more about how to protect myself if I were to get married and the options I have.

And no, I don't want this thread to become a discussion about whether getting a prenup if a lack of trust or not, I just want to understand what it is, and what a living trust is.
