[quote=Anonymous]This is literally the kind of fact pattern that the doctrine of common law marriage was created for. Because it would be so manifestly unfair to leave someone like OP with no financial support. I’m not saying that OP meets the criteria for common law marriage - just, the situation she is in is so tenuous and risky to vulnerable women that the law stretched to create a remedy for it. OP should not hide from this realization and should start working to protect herself financially.

OP my best advice is to do this very calmly but assertively. You deserve financial security one way or another. Whether that’s by getting on the title or making other plans. You also haven’t spoken to the question of why the marriage hasn’t happened. Please be realistic about that as well.

What is likely in your best interest is to get back into the workplace with additional training if you need it. While living unmarried and not on the title was a financial compromise, it may be your best bet going forward until your kids are independent, since maintaining your own house will be expensive and it will be easier to work if you live together.

Now here is where you have to be assertive: ALL of your salary is going into savings. If your “fiance” complains, discuss that you need to have financial security because you are unmarried/not on title. [/quote]
