[quote=Anonymous]OP, what is the purpose of marriage to you? This is why second marriages with children are HARD. It's easy to share with a spouse when there are only joint children. Every dollar spent on your new spouse is not money that is secured for your children's future and your spouse is a legal stranger to your children, so enriching him doesn't help your kids at all. But the reality is, separate accounts are fine, prenups are great for addressing divorce/death, but what you are complaining about is your probable joint life as a married couple in retirement. So what is marriage for you? If you all of a sudden lost all your money, would you expect your husband to "subsidize" you? If not, what is your solution? You rent a basement apartment and work until you die? What's your solution for him? [/quote]
