The difference between a marriage break up and a dating break up is that there are no legal safeguards for those who are just dating. So making sure that you have an attorney who gives you good advice as to your rights should the two of you part is very important. |
This is what we would be doing - I am not putting any money down - he would be doing the full down payment, and I would probably wind up buying the furniture that I want, which wouldn't even come close to the dp amount. I think what hurt me more than anything wasn't the warning about a loss of assets if we broke up - that is understandable, but the comment that if we buy a house together we shouldn't ever bother getting married b/c what is the point. I almost wanted to say you have a child so what is the point of ever getting married
which is so not like me to want to say something like that - especially because I am from that type of situation
