This is standard, dude.
There's a case from Ontario a few years back where a wealthy Toronto man wanted to marry a woman he'd been seeing for 15-20 years, and sought her agreement to a pre-nup and/or marriage contract before proposing. They were not living together. She used his request for a pre-nup to break up with him, then subsequently sued him for spousal support while arguing they had been common law spouses. I repeat, they did not share a living space. They also didn't have children together. She won... a paltry $50k per month for 10 years.
Edited some mistakes.
Here's a quick link to a story on the case.

There's a case from Ontario a few years back where a wealthy Toronto man wanted to marry a woman he'd been seeing for three years, and sought her agreement to a pre-nup before proposing. They were not living together. She used his request for a pre-nup to break up with him, then subsequently sued him for spousal support while arguing they were common-law. I repeat, they did not share a living space. They also didn't have children (at least together). She won.
I'll dig it up and spez this post.
