Sorry to you BUT
21 yrs old is a little young to be determining who you want to spend the rest of your life with...maybe it was best.

In the future, before you get engaged, bring up the term "pre-nuptual agreement" and see how she reacts - that will be the true test to see if someone wants what you have or is just happy to be with you

I hear all too often the guy getting raked over the coals in a divorce and having to pay alimony for 5-10-15 yrs, even if she gets remarried. Like Chris Rock said, "If you have a million dollars and she gets half, you still have a good amount of money BUT if you make $30k a year and she gets half, then your ass is broke! I don't think what OJ did was right, but I UNDERSTAND!"

Keeping yourself stable if your marriage breaks up is key, you didn't work hard for someone who was along for the ride to take it all from you. Keep what is yours and she keeps what is hers. If you buy something together, then specify what percentage each should get (base it on salary earned at the time of purchase for example).
