[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This keeps me up at night. I have a steady job and middling assets-- a home with a lot of equity, retirement savings on track-- but my partner has nothing. We're in our 50s and I'm terrified that he'll have a stroke or something and I'll be stuck caring for him. He earns just enough to contribute his share to the household, but claims he will never/ can never retire. Even in the fantasy world where we both stay healthy and active into old age, will he keep working after I retire? I love him very much. He's a wonderful partner, taking on a larger share of household duties, openly and consistently affectionate, interesting and interested in me, etc etc. But I don't want to be stuck as the only support for an otherwise-destitute old man.
