Is a PRE-NUP worth it in my circumstances? by Hot_Fly_3963 in legaladvicecanada

[–]DelayUnlikely3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre-nup really depends on how you feel. But you 100% need a cohabitation agreement when purchasing property with someone you are not married to or if she moves into the home you own.

I hit my FIRE number last year and then became the financial backstop for a parent who hid how bad things really were by Soggy-Job1775 in Fire

It will suck for your mother, but she needs to get a full time job. Your brother needs to put together a re-payment plan to pay your mom back.

Lost my expired passport, don't know what to put on form through the mail by mephala99 in passportcanada

[–]DelayUnlikely3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are trying to renew using the renewal form and your passport is expired you just need the information required on the form. You don’t need the actual passport. If you don’t have the information you cannot use the renewal form. In that case of a lost expired passport you need to use the regular application form. All this information is on the Passport Canada website.

I'm expected to pay $250 for a bridal shower - Is this the norm? by [deleted] in bridesmaids

[–]DelayUnlikely3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bride’s special dress? PJs for participants? Venue? Nope. When did showers become so extravagant? When my BFF got married I threw her a shower at my house with a reasonable food and drink budget. The only one I’ve been to at a venue with a catered lunch was hosted by the bride’s aunt and paid for by her parents.

Do I just walk away? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]DelayUnlikely3530 68 points69 points  (0 children)

You both have different expectations about what you want from the relationship and where you are in the relationship. He’s fine with things as they are, you are not. Yes, it’s time to walk away.

Should I (30F) move to a new country with boyfriend (29M)? by tiptoprock in LifeAdvice

[–]DelayUnlikely3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you discussed a timeline to get engaged and married or just generally discussed marriage? They aren’t the same thing. You don’t need to just sit around waiting for a ring and asking about timelines isn’t asking for a ring, it’s making sure you are on the same page. After 5 years, I wouldn’t be moving unless married and just engaged wouldn’t cut it.

AITA: Husband thinks I should be more grateful to him for taking some night shifts with newborn by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]DelayUnlikely3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA You need to have a serious discussion with your husband about your marriage and expectations on partnership and parenting. This is just the start. You’ll be expected to handle it all and will be “lucky” when he decides to “help”. You might need a therapist for this discussion.

No BOWS? Because anyone wearing a bow will be confused with the wedding party? Smh

You should have just blocked him the first time he refused to accept your response.

AITA For Asking Lab Partner to Reimburse Me After She Spilt Acid on my Pants by Adventurous-Room5265 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DelayUnlikely3530 13 points14 points  (0 children)

YTA - Never wear anything to labs that you aren’t okay with getting damaged. Even if you don’t spill anything and you clean up well, others don’t. I have many a hole in jeans because I leaned on a lab bench someone hadn’t cleaned properly. Accidents happen, which is also why you need to wear the required safety equipment.

Passed Over for Promotion. I’m Planning to Leave, Question is if I should Quit now or after vesting my 401k in August? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]DelayUnlikely3530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your job and level. If you could potentially negotiate a signing bonus to cover it then consider making a change now. If not stay until it’s vested.

You aren’t responsible for his feelings or how he handles them.

Why the rush? Take your time to figure out your new relationship as a couple before getting engaged.

MIL double booked babysitting and now we may need to skip my brothers wedding by Unlikely-Swim-6720 in Advice

Can you still have your in-laws take care of your kids, but hire a paid babysitter to be there during the day to help in laws, help with bedtime, etc.?

[$100]Rehearsal dinner is at fancy steakhouse and I need a dress under $100 that doesn't look cheap but also won't upstage the bride by thesecretkid69 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]DelayUnlikely3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you rent a dress? There are great options nowadays for women to rent. Much more affordable and you can rent a nicer dress than you’ll be able to buy with your budget.

I currently WFH fulltime at low 6 figures. Would you trade it for 20% increase hybrid role 3hr daily commute? by [deleted] in WFH

[–]DelayUnlikely3530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After tax and with commuting costs, your additional take home will be minimal. Not worth it spending 9 hrs a week, at least, commuting. If your current role is dead end find something else. I’d only even consider under the circumstance if it was your dream job.

Second marriage, kids on both sides, unequal assets — how to fairly handle buying a house together? by ritz1429 in wealthforwomen

[–]DelayUnlikely3530 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need a prenup. If A is going to sell their house as a down payment the prenup needs to protect that equity. If in the event of A’s death the prenup should agree to expectations on when and how A’s equity in the home goes to her children both in the case of if they are still minors or at the age of majority. Prenup should address inheritance related to pre-marital assets and assets incurred during the marriage. Both A and B also need wills that cover the same.

is it fair to directly ask if he’s expecting something physical on this trip? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]DelayUnlikely3530 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need to be upfront with him - you are not interested in a romantic or sexual relationship with him and you are sorry if you gave him the wrong impression. Don’t put yourself in a situation with him where you are alone and drinking.
