[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Additional info…….he’s 43, divorced with two kids. We do not want more kids. $60k really does not go far in DC. I earn enough to take care of myself well, but I just feel apprehensive about having added pressure to maintain and increase earnings should we marry. He is very self sufficient and takes excellent care of household matters. He’s also very kind and a great father. Things are wonderful while dating, but I’m concerned the dynamic might change if married.[/quote]

Do you have kids?  How old are his kids?  I would lean towards living together in a committed relationship that isn’t considered a common law marriage and re-evaluate when all the kids are launched.  Otherwise, you will be  financially supporting his two kids in some way with no real say in how he raises them. It could mess up their college financial aid if suddenly your income has to be included as the step parent.  You are also basically funding his retirement.  This is if you stay together.  If you get divorced he can get half. [/quote]
