The first showed that he's thinking about a future with you. The second was him acting like a parent.
I'm personally not too big on prenups but I do agree that they can make sense and that probably everyone should have one, especially for second marriages where no further kids are planned and everyone brings in their own assets.
Actually, I think I had a positive reaction to GP bringing up the topic of prenups (he brought it up in a general way not in direct reference to our relationship) because I think a prenup would solve a lot of problems for my monkey if I ever do get married again. If it was clearly spelled out all the different ways in which I don't want to take a guy's $$$ then I would feel free to do just exactly what I like with my own little fistful of pennies. Maybe I won't get married again and I'll just move into an adult vegetarian co-operative house when my daughter goes to college.
