Returning that ""forever"" weapon (excuse) on the attacker: IF he/she does indeed love his/her potential spouse, exactly why is it SO important for them to get access to that which is rightly not theirs?
Problem with not signing a prenuptial is: greed always rears its ugly head!
Also, they (prenuptial) are not only reserved to assets. They are also used to outline expectations and responsibilities.
If the potential ""life mate"" refuses to sign, he/she is clearly in love with the assets and NOT with the person AND he/she is obviously a greedy[selfish]person whom is only concerned with his/her future by not wishing to commit to a mutual agreement (how often he/she must putout, whether or not he/she must be employed etc).

I would DEFINITELY listen to what this man said and act on it word for word...
Make sure EVERYTHING is spelled out as to what your expectations of each other will be, goals in life, CHILDREN, etc.....
And even if you do have a prenup, if the divorce is nasty or the woman feels like she's getting screwed, it's nothing to challenge the validity of the prenup in court....Even if it was signed in front of Jesus himself, the validity can be challenged and routinely it is....Also if the prenup leaves her with nothing, you can be sure as shit that it will be ruled invalid...
I remember this because I had a prenup that I wrote up myself during my divorce...Fortunately, I was able to get it ruled invalid because the shit was so lopsided in her favor, I would've been all the way screwed...
Also, I remember sitting in the lobby in family court and my lawyer was chitchatting with another lawyer that she knew and he was talking about how the prenup was being challenged because it left her with nothing...and he said this matter of factly and my lawyer just nodded like she's heard it all before...
What you want to do is NOT GET MARRIED IN THE FUCKING FIRST PLACE!!......If you're so enthralled with this woman, just live with her and draw up a nice power of attorney for emergencies....
Your mind is clouded right now....Don't do it...Just the fact that you're even ASKING about a prenup means you don't need to be doing it....
