[quote=Lonely_Sojourner][quote=Anonymous]Never.  Another person to take care of, a man for my children to have to adjust to, possibly with kids who are strangers to them?

And the financial risks?

No.[/quote]
“Never” is a long time...

“Another person to take care of”.  Another way of looking at this would be “another person to take care of you”.  I’ll share that your kids will not be around forever...

“a man for my children to have to adjust to, possibly with kids who are strangers to them?”.  Kids are resilient.  While my wife was a single mom when we dated, I took the role of “Uncle R” with her son and was very upfront with him that I was NOT a replacement for his father.  We established parameters and I never injected myself in between them without being asked.

“And the financial risks?”  This is, by far, the biggest hurdle to such...  Starting over at our age is tough as most of us have assets that we’ve worked hard to accrue and don’t want to lose them if we want to retire at a reasonable age...
