Keeping it separate. Mine is Mine. His is His. Ours is Ours.
I'm not paying any household bills. Either it would be totally traditional where I wouldn't work at all and I took care of the household and children and did lots of big community service type things. OR If I worked, my salary would be my personal spending money. Otherwise it is a no-go.
I don't think so. I just feel like, I've tried things the other way around and it didn't work for me. So I wouldn't waste time trying to go the 50/50 (which never really is 50/50) route again. I'm cool on that. I wouldn't love my mate any less or distrust them any more. I know what wouldn't work for me. At the same time I am not dying to be married like most single, never-before-married people, so if I couldn't get things the way I want them, I'm good with being single...we could just date.

Skee, I'll just say this:
You can't conduct a marriage as if it was a business proposition, which from your post you make it sound like, or at least that is how you want your marriage. The true essence of marriage goes much deeper than that, it is about being one flesh in every sense of the word, the combining of mind, body, spirit, and soul. If you approach marriage with that mindset, then pre-nups and divorce would be a non-issue for you. OTOH, because you have been recently divorced, I can understand your reasoning for thinking this way, and perhaps as you have indicated, you are good with being single.
Don't let your divorce cloud your view of what a marriage should be all about.
