[quote=Anonymous]I have a lot to say on this one because I married into a similar but different situation.

First, have you fully researched the impact of getting married on your daughter and his son qualifying for financial aid?

Second, do you really need to get married?  Can you just enjoy him as your forever fiancee, live together, sign health care power of attorney's for each other?  You don't want to take on your partner's debt at your age (or any age) - I promise! If you've always been a saver and LBYM, his debt will sour the relationship and lead to serious resentment.

Third, if you ever do get married, don't comingle your accounts.  A joint account for the mortgage and shared expenses, fine, but nothing more.

Fourth, you probably have to stay out of his relationship with his parents and his child.   The best way to do that is don't get married.  If you do get married, get a prenup, don't get any joint credit cards, and bank separately, apart from the joint mortgage you already have.
