[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see the point of marrying over 50. You won't have kids. You would be wise to have separate houses and finances. So why?[/quote]

I agree. After 50 years of being married to my mom, my dad just remarried at 77 years old 🙄. Like seriously, why?[/quote]

Men can't live without marriage[/quote]

My Dad can. After divorce with my mom, he's had 3 long term girlfriends. The latest one, he's been with for 10 years. He doesn't believe in marrying these women because he has his own children/grandchildren and he worked hard so that he could pass down to us.  I am super grateful that he feels this way. He's also wealthy enough to hire people to keep house for him, so he doesn't need a wife for that. His girlfriend is richer than he is, and I assume she also wants to protect the assets earned by her late husband for her children/grandchildren. They keep their own places but travel together and have most meals together, etc.

My 78 yo mom on the other hand would love to get married, and has had schemes to do so, but it hasn't worked out. She is religious and believes, in theory but not in practice, that you must get married to consecrate sex, plus she thinks it would be nice to enjoy someone else's money. She's  totally insane, and I'll feel sorry for the whole family if she manages to snag some old sucker. [/quote]
