  • She’s young and trying things out. Polyamory is pretty low on the tier list of mistakes one can make in their childhood. When I was a kid, thanks to my environment, I thought relationships were physically transactional before I could grasp the idea of “making a living” and empathy for others. Chances are, she’ll pick one sooner or later.








  • Only because my spouse’s parents are both dead (early, accidents) and he inherited several hundred thousand dollars and life insurance money. I personally have a negative net worth, and with divorce I’d probably only break even. I basically lucked out of not living with my parents/grandparents for the rest of their life. On the flip side though, I regret the marriage because he refuses to move to a country with better social safety nets should something go wrong; living knowing that should his nest egg dry up, that we’ll be on the street in retirement, is inherently really stressful [we live in the USA].

    I have a BS, with probably no inheritance coming (I’ve been told so).

    He’s a certified accountant and makes double what I do. He controls all the money for obvious reasons.
