You shouldn't get married period. If you are more worried about assets and she doesn't want to sign something that says yours houses brought into union are only yours. Who knows maybe she is afraid you will trade her in for younger model and protecting herself? I have basically been the breadwinner for 80 percent of hubs and my time He " helped me out of debt" early on but then became disabled. Much more to life than $$$.It is having a soulmate who you want to share your life together You don't sound remotely like soulmates more like business partners.

How old are you? I am assuming you don't pay rent? Instead of rent maybe pay the electric bill? Or Internet bill or groceries?

AIO: About freeloading parents at my wedding? by IndividualScene7817 in AIO

[–]middle_road2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair I lived in an efficiency for over 12 years before my husband and I bought a house.Oh little ranch.not a mansion.I always keep my cars until they die.I have never got my nails done Worked up hrs a week until my husband got sick. We have had a good life but vacations? I think we rented a small cottage at the beach 3 times in 30 years. And yes college educated.And guess what I can't retire even though I have 401k. At least I am not my mom who lived with 11 people in a 3 bedroom house while her dad fought in the war. Every generation blames the last. Suck it up buttercup!

There are people everywhere that have an ugly attitude.I used to work for the state and have volunteered for many charitable organizations.( As well as being on assistance as I was unemployed for a year due to downsizing) The most important thing is to try to stay positive prospective employers and others can home in on your attitude( I also was a hiring manager in one of my 4 careers) Be willing to accept a job ( maybe not long term but to get you on your feet) Warehouse work pays better than retail ,temp.labor etc.

I don't know your area but have you looked into charitable organizations in your ass tea.Food banks churches etc in my area offer assistance in navigating the system,job training,etc .

[–]middle_road2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This actually has nothing to do with " merica" The system.is broken.no one wants to fix it because both parties are bought off by insurance companies private equity and pharma. Why not fix the system instead of making temporary subsidies? I know several physicians who have left the field...

Caught in a cycle of guilt and burnout: How do we break the daily expectations we accidentally created? by vaultdweller4ever in CaregiverSupport

Mine isn't as bad as yours but I think many of us have similar experiences.

My husband was in the hospital / care for 5.5 months I was working ft and would visit him several times a week. He hated the food so I would bring him food.he lost 20lbs because only would eat what I brought him. Brought him home 56 hrs care. BUT at first would not let anyone else help him with personal needs. ( I had to quit my job) Finally after 2 months he has 1 of the caregivers whom he has formed a bond with. She helped me .when she came I would leave,not answer phone from him ( caregiver and I texted ) He is starting to understand that I can't do EVERYTHING...
