You are right _Sky,

If everything is kept in our own names at that point, it really wouldn't matter. I am not working & it really would be hard to earn less than disability....but as long as the other person is happy with what he is doing...it wouldn't be a problem at all....being happy is the most important issue.

But...you are completely correct....marriage is seriously not for me AT ALL....30 years is long enough....guess that is how I protect myself....make the required qualities so high that no one qualifies & I don't have to ever go there again...I can't imagine ever being ready for a marriage again.

Thanks for providing for a clarification,
Debbie
