This.

I know a couple army widows who similarly are not remarrying to preserve their benefits. It's the smart thing to do.

You don't need the piece of paper. But is she opposed to living together? I wonder if she isn't interested in cooking and cleaning for you? Can't say I blame her. Perhaps offer to hire a housekeeper to entice her to move in with you?

It sounds like you want ft companionship, and that's legit. I'd want someone in my bed every night, too. See if she's open to cohabitating without marriage. Both of you can keep your own homes, rent one or both out, etc.

She's totally correct when it comes to protecting assets. Imagine if you get dementia or some such and your adult kids screw her out of your house and assets. Not worth the risk.

Lastly, it's fair to question her love and loyalty. She sounds more rational than emotional. I bet she would cut and run if you were diagnosed with ED or cancer. Better to find out now than further down the road. [/quote]
Read the OP.  She's willing to consider living together, and even buying a vacation home together.  She just doesn't want to get married, in part because the financial implications mean reduced independence for her and because mixing finances with two sets of families can be really messy.  Children who like a GF just fine might view her differently when things like inheritance come into play.  [/quote]
