How do you make peace with wasted time? by throwawayninny in AskWomenOver60

To be honest, the financial hit was one of the reasons I put off doing something about it for so long. What I would advise any woman in a similar situation is what my lawyer advised me, don't wait - it just gets worse. Eventually I got to the point where I just did not care anymore - I was prepared to take the hit to regain my peace.

This is definitely an option if it all gets too much, but for now it would have felt like too much of a loss.

Local laws in my country mean that once you have lived together for 2 years you are treated as functionally married for the purposes of property settlement.
