Hello all, I wanted to reach out to the group to ask about how you managed your relationships and assets after divorce. I am 2 years out from divorcing from my cheater exw, thankfully she worked a good job and we have 50/50, so the asset split was by the book and I was able to buy a house and keep my retirement intact. I was always the financially savvy one in our relationship so in the past two years, I have made some good bets and things are looking up.

Here is my question. I am in a relationship with a good woman (so far), I have no rose colored glasses anymore and I'm proceeding on my timeline first and foremost. I'm quite OK with a committed long term thing but have no intentions of getting married, it just makes no sense since I'm no longer having kids and neither is she. I also worry that I do have more assets built up so signing that document makes zero sense and I have no problem living alone if it comes to that. Anyways, I just wanted to ask what you all who were in this situation did before to retain your assets in a safe place, make sure you were protected legally and also to ensure everything goes to your kids if something happens. Also, did anyone have success with a 2nd LTR or even getting married while making sure you were safe (like pre-nup, living trust, etc.) ? Did anyone have their hand try to be forced as well and regret it (meaning, tying the knot a 2nd time)?
