[b]I assumed that you were happy to have your postnup so you must not be the bread winning spouse.  We had been talking about SAHMs but, of course, if you are a SAHD with this postnup, my apologies.[/b]

You did not strike me as the spouse who would have the hammer of financial doom come crashing down on your head in the event of a divorce.  What these postnups don't factor in seems to be the loss of the SAH spouse's contributions to a bread winner who must now shoulder 100% of the duties in his own home, including the extra costs of childcare and simply not being available to his company when it's his turn to take the kid to the orthodontist hire someone else to do it.[/quote]

You are so hobbled by sexism that you seem literally incapable of imagining the situation I am in. I am very happy to have the postnup, I am the breadwinning spouse, and I am the wife.

Marriage is a contract. If for whatever reason the legally evolved terms of that contract in your state aren't right for your marriage, postnups adjust the contract. You seem to be under the impression that they contain some kind of blanket terms that strongly favor one party over the other; that's inaccurate.
