[quote=Anonymous]OP I don’t have much financial advice but I hope you can think more about what you have gained from your marriage and what you stand to lose if you allow resentment against your dh’s ex and your dh to poison your marriage 
It sounds like you like your step children so maybe focus on that and be grateful that you and your husband are able to provide a loving and stable home to your children and your stepchildren   Either the 8 of you are a family or you are not 
I agree with most of the posters who have pointed out that you and your husband should share your retirement funds when the time comes. The issue of college is different. I can’t remember if you mentioned the age of your stepchildren but you and dh should talk to his ex about what if anything she is willing to do for her children. Based on what she says your dh should talk to his children about how much help they can expect from the adults in their life. If you are not willing to contribute towards their tuition etc would you be willing to allow them to continue living at home while they attend your husband’s college or a community college. [/quote]
