Great advice! But what if your partner is in an affair and has no intention of stopping? Let it go on forever to make ends meet?

Hi, I’m from Barados and here we have what we call “common law marriage”, that’s when a couple lives together for five or more years. This has been a regular practice for many generations. The point is that you don’t have to be married to live together and so derive the benifits that this article speaks to.

I totally agree with this article. My wife of twenty-five years is divorcing me as I write this, it should be final in She says nothing will change we just won’t be living in the same house. I know that going from two incomes and one mortgage to two morgages is going to make a big impact on our lives and futures. She on the other hand thinks that it won’t be any different. Of course it will be different living on one income suporting the same house and bills. I have given up and am not even trying any more because she does not care.

I wish I had thought more about the economic impact of my marriage problems before I let them get so bad. Thanks for this article. It certainly helps people open their eyes to the value of trying to work things out.
