I totally agree. If you want to remarry PROTECT YOUR ASSETS!

If something happened and one of us died and a second marriage came up, I would be very sure the assets were protected for the children.

After all... I don't know how exactly to articulate this, but this is our first family's assets. I wouldn't want it to go anywhere else, nor would I went the spouse of a second marriage to dilute his assets either. A sticky situation.

This can probably be solved with a well drawn pre-nuptual agreement. I am not familiar with the Florida laws regarding such matters but they are the rule rather than the exception where I live now. Almost all of the people I know who have children and have remarried have signed pre-nups.

Chachacha,

I know I'm new to these forums, but, you seem to be the guru of the singles scene at TV. How is it even possible that you are having a hard time meeting someone special. It does not bode well for the rest of us.

One can be married without a deep relationship. One can be in a deep relationship without being married.

But she can dance like Ginger Rogers...and her Fred will arrive. It's karma.

(for me, not judging anyone else) someone kindly sent me a pm about e harmony! perhaps i will give that a go! keep the comments coming...there are many stories out there, i am sure.

You could just have a religious marriage and not a legal one. That protects the finances but binds the soul. I have a great wife and could not imagine being without her.

I agree with the online dating idea as I met my wife with a newspaper ad. This was Pre Internet 😁

Also let everyone you know that you are open to finding Mr Right.

thanks, Doctor A! i think everyone i know is aware that i want to meet someone special for a lifetime commitment. meanwhile, a nice dance partner with no other expectations could also be very nice i guess we just have to enjoy our life as it is rather than always dreaming about a different future....i am thankful for all my blessings as they have been many.

I met my husband on Match.com and we just celebrated our 11th anniversary May 25th! It is a royal pain dating but if you find the right man for you it is worth it. Best of luck out there!
