[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been with my partner for eight years. He's a wonderful man, who let me know within the first year that he wants to marry me. We've recently decided to do so in 2022. I've been more reticent for two reasons. First, taxes. We'd have to pay a lot more in taxes because of a significant income difference and the loss of head of household status. Second, and this is definitely a result of my personal baggage, is I got a lot of comfort from the idea that if it wasn't going to work out, I am within my power to just tell him to leave. I own the house. I pay the bulk of the bills. I am in control. (at least I feel that way) However, over the last year or so, I feel uncomfortable with the idea that I wouldn't have any say in his care if something happened to him; and vice versa. [/quote] You can give each other hipaa and health-care power of attorney to solve that last issue.[/quote]
