[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't read the entire thread. Is it possible that OP is doing a lot of assuming here? Or adding emotion where there is none?

For the daughter, [b]this should have been discussed before marriage.[/b][/quote]

This has been posted fifty times. How was this supposed to be discussed before marriage? Not in some advice column, in real life. "Hey babe, I know you're debt free, but just so we're on the same page, once we get married, make sure you keep rising the corporate ladder because I'm going to need you to pay down my $400,000 (or whatever sum it is) loans I racked up before we met." How romantic. :roll:[/quote]

No, SHE should’ve been asking the questions. “This is my debt, these are my finances. What kind of debt do you have?” Then decisions could have been made on How/when to pay this, should marriage be postponed, is it a deal breaker?

And no one person is paying the debt, “they” are. Less money is coming into the household, whether it’s coming out of his check or hers.

+1. We absolutely had this conversation before we got married. I knew his credit score, his outstanding loans, credit card debt, what interest rates he was paying, etc. I wasn't going to mess up all the work I had done to make sure I was financially strong to be messed up by marrying a bozo.
