Dear Moneyist,
I’m 35 and have actually been dating a male twenty years older than me; he is 55. I have a 5-year-old kid. Things were working out up until we began having discussions about the relationship being major and potentially combining our properties. He shared his home with his ex-wife after being wed for 20 years. He just recently got a 2nd home mortgage on that home. He likewise has adult kids in their late 20s, and they appear to still be greatly based on him for financial backing. He is repaying his own trainee loans, and likewise those for his kids. I own my home totally free and clear. My trainee loans will be settled within the next 2 years, and I made a couple of great financial investments so I have a fair bit of funds in cost savings and a great pension.
When we went over taking actions to move the relationship forward and talked about marital relationship, I revealed that I would want to offer my present home, buy a brand-new home and asked that he do the exact same so we can construct a life together. He was totally opposed to this strategy. His perfect strategy: I move into his present home that he showed his ex-wife up until he can pay it off, which would remain in 10 to 15 years and after that we might buy a brand-new home together. He likewise stated that I might assist him settle his home to move the procedure along quicker. If we choose to choose his strategy, his adult kids will acquire that home. He’s not ready to jeopardize in this location, and it has actually developed an obstruction in the relationship. I do not wish to move into his home, and he states I’m being self-centered and impractical.
What should I do?
