[quote=Anonymous]First, regarding the speed with which this is happening, this sounds like both of you want to be married.  But do you really want to be married to him?  And he with you?  I understand not wanting to date, etc, but this sounds like more of a legally bound friendship rather than a love story. I could be totally wrong, but something to think about.

Now, about the finances. As another person said, he can put in his will that the house goes to you while you're alive, and then to his kids. I think if he dies in 20 years you'll probably want to stay in that house. If he dies in two years you might want to go back to your house. So I wouldn't sell your house yet, if ever.

Finally, I think what you should definitely do before you move in with him is sit down with him and his kids and talk about this stuff. You're going to be their stepmother, even though they're grown, so you need to have a relationship with them. Talking about estate planning issues with them while he's alive is the best way to avoid bitterness and fighting after he dies. Also have the same conversation with him and your children. [/quote]
