Dear Suze Q. At 60, I met my prince on a dating app when I’d given up hope of a 2nd-chance romance. After 3 great years, we want to integrate our lives. He plans to sell his condo and move into my home with a garden, pool, and yard for our pets. We split expenses but I usually pay more because I have more. He wants to marry and combine assets, including a joint banking account. My heart is thrilled but my head and friends say, “Not yet. It’s a lopsided financial arrangement. Is his love pure?”
Dear Princess, A prenuptial agreement may be the way to go. If his love is true, he’ll agree. Get financial advice, with or without his participation, to safeguard yourself and your heirs. If his love is true, he’ll agree. Relationship imbalances because of money, power, dominance, etc. are a breeding ground for resentment. Get counseling to work out the dirty $ details before your successes of 60+ years are compromised. If his love is pure and true, he’ll welcome your audit of his soul. -SQ
