Recycles dryer sheets
This is a question for someone I know.
Lady I know was married. She was a stay-at-home mom. Husband worked.
When kids were late teenagers they got divorced. (Now about 15-20 years ago).
Ten years ago she met a new man. They've been together since.
New man evidently earned less during his career (and is currently still working at retirement age on his own business, but it doesn't yield great income).
Despite their normal desire to marry, lady says she cannot marry the new guy because her cut of social security will decrease, where right now she would get half the total amount of her ex-husband. If she gets married, she will evidently get a smaller share due to the difference in income earned by the two men.
Does this sound right or is there a misunderstanding here?
