Sounds like this is not a hypothetical question.

That may be the law but it is unethical in my opinion. You should get what you you put into something. No more or less. If a guy mooches off his wife and they divorce, he should get 0% of anything.

So out of blind love, you foolishly accept to marry the love of your life without a prenuptial agreement.

It absolutely can be hypothetical. Just having a conversation with perfect strangers on the internet...

Sometimes what you put into a marriage is not measurable in $$$ amounts.

The thing is, you never get to hear the other side of the story in these posts. I had a coworker with the most infuriating divorce story. I really felt for him. Then I found her side of the story a few years alter and we had all been jerked around by the guy. Now I take these stories with a pinch of salt.

Exactly. And the more bitching, moaning and complaining someone does on this subject the less likely I am to believe the story they tell.
