[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP,

Listen, my own MIL died and my FIL married another woman a couple years later. They have been married for 3 years and while we all think she’s a nice lady and we happily include her in all family functions, let’s be real here:

She’s someone my husband met in his 30’s and we have both spent less than 50 days total with this person. If FIL were to die tomorrow we would probably never spend any time with her after the funeral. Not because we hate her, but because there’s no shared history, no common bond. It’s laughable to suggest that we would feel responsible for caring for her in old age the same way we would for FIL.

I would bet my house that your own children feel the same way towards your girlfriend. You sound really delusional. [/quote]

OP, have you talked to your children about what they view their role towards your girlfriend? (Or future wife?)

I doubt any of them would sign up to be her caregiver in the future, especially if you pass away. At 50 you’re too old to be this stupid or naive. Basically, imagine your own parents get divorced and remarried next year. Would you take on responsibility for a new stepparent you didn’t grow up with? Or would you be a little annoyed that this new person was depleting your inheritance with their needs?

Grow up, OP. [/quote]
