[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are an a$$.  And I say that as a young-ish widow who started dating less than a year after my DH died.  
You don't have to die alone and you absolutely can date.  What you should not be doing is planning to leave money to a hypothetical person instead of your children.  The fact that you already told your children that you will prioritize someone you hadn't met yet above them says all they need to know about you.

Where did you get that I prioritized her over my kids?

OP, how do you not see the weigh of your words to your kids? You tell them to their face you intend to leave your estate to the next wife, and good luck to your own flesh and blood if she chooses to cut them out of her estate. If you are 72 and college educated, you should have the critical thinking skills to understand this. You sound at best very, very immature, and possibly cognitively compromised.

My guess is you are a bored teenager having a little fun creating threads on your mama's favorite blog. Don't you have anything better to do with your time?[/quote]

New poster here.
I absolutely believe the situation is real.    
This literally could have been written by my dad, but he died a few months ago (before he found anyone to re-marry.)   But he had pretty much the exact same attitude as OP--hell bent on marrying someone (anyone!) so that his adult kids would not get an inheritance.   We didn't even have a "bad relationship" and one of my siblings was literally performing dozens of hours of work EVERY week for my dad (between driving to appointments, managing finances, taking phone calls from my dad's assisted living facility, etc.)   Yet for some reason my Dad got it in his head that he needed a wife to leave all his money to, and to hell with his kids.
FWIW, most of my Dad's money was an inheritance from HIS parents.

But yeah, there are definitely real people who think like OP.[/quote]
