Married to DH #1 thirty years in December, and when we married, we each had a car payment - that's all. If I should ever be single again, I would love to have someone to date, travel with, and care about, but cannot imagine ever marrying again, or for that matter living full-time in the same house with someone else. What we have (when we are finished with it) is for our only child (son), and I would not put that at risk. Frankly, I know more than one person who either gave everything away in the first divorce, or squandered their young years away (regarding asset accumulation) and now need a place to land. Not interested in a set up like that or someone popping off about what I choose to do or not do for my son with assets that belong to me.
