[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always love how women feel their money is their money and men are supposed to provide.

If you reversed the genders here, op would be savaged!!![/quote]

Seriously.  And op really misrepresented the situation in her first post.   It's really wrong to position the situation as he never saved anything for college, when his job provides private college tuition fully paid for his kids.  That's hugely different than not having any money for college.   And she skipped the part where the ex-wife is mentally ill.  And that he's a college professor, which is a very different scenario when it comes to retirement than someone who works 9-5 everyday and only gets two weeks vacation a year.

Honestly, op, you should be counting your blessings that you found a lovely person whose company you enjoy to spend your golden years with, not counting out the dollars in your respective retirement accounts like a miser.   You need a major shift in your way of thinking about this.   [/quote]
