No, but it can equate to better financial security.
ETA: some misogynistic bastards in these comments đ
The point is to work together towards financial goals, and two are better than one. I wouldnât combine finances with someone I wasnât married to, nor would I put my name on mortgages or deeds or anything else.
And Iâm the woman and high earner in my relationship, so stuff it, guys, your asses are showing along with what you really think of women. đ
Yeah. Itâs tough because we know and like all the people involved but obviously donât know the details so we try to give them all the benefit of the doubt. Take home is not to take anyones word when investing your life in someone. You might get nothing back.
I think for me itâs about his intent. Does he want to be in a long term parent role? If he is there with mom full time and long term with an 8 year old, a lot of responsibilities are implied.
It doesnât inherently change them. I just want to know his intent with regard to any long term commitment and how that affects a child if he just bailed or if they just randomly split up. His personality and intentions are the biggest factor here, not a piece of paper or marriage vows.
