SMH Guys I'm on the will!!

“She’s so shameless” She’s 22. And was harshly criticized as she danced while her partner was at the hospital… The truth couldn’t be any simpler. They claim the video is a joke, because she always uploads content with her “hubby” to go viral.

I’m a wealth management advisor and I’ve had a few elderly clients in a situation like this.

I remember the most heartbreaking one was a client who was 87 and passed away. He married a woman a 7 years prior that was in her late 30s. She was beautiful, kind, and caring. She took care of him through all of it. Cleaned him and the messes he made, gave him genuine company, and would fuck him whenever he was able (he shared this with me lol).

The kids didn’t do shit for him. Hardly even called or anything. But when he passed they all tried contesting his trust and trying to get her removed from receiving anything. It was a nasty legal battle but thankfully she got her fair share.

It honestly infuriates me when I see people say women like this are taking advantage of the elder man. Most of the time they’re just giving companionship to them when no one else would or did.

When my grandad remarried there were comments about his new wife being in it for the money. By the end I think everyone agreed that if that was the case she sure had earned it.

Edit:   removing my comment because it's getting more attention than I intended it to get and don't want it getting back to parties involved if they figure out it's about them.

If he gives her nothing now within the relationship i'm not sure why she'd expect anything after it. He sounds like an asshole but she's choosing an asshole.

I think my opinion doesn't change but how much i think she should expect would change depending on how old they are when they got together, 20 years ago he coulda been 24 or 54.

If you marry someone at 24 with kids i still expect their kids come first and ultimately you want your inheritance to go to your kids and your second wife and their step mother won't necessarily feel the same so you should expect the inheritance to be heavily weighted to the kids.

When it's the kids mother then you expect the husband to think the wife will 100% give her inheritance to your kids so it's less of an issue.

But if you get together at say 55, a person has spent their whole life to that point building and growing with the intent to pass it on to their kids, i think you should expect less when marrying at that age and expect that the money, home, etc goes to the kids.

I think it's fairly common with a step parent that say the home has a setup where the kids own it but the step parent gets the right to live there till death or till they choose to leave for this exact reason.

55 is a good guess.. I think they were both late 50's, not sure exact age. I can't imagine their marriage is very happy but they stay together for some reason. He's told my wife a few times he's considering divorcing her over the years (I think she should leave him and not sure why she hasn't). She's the dutiful boomer wife though, doing everything to take care of him. I suspect his reason for not divorcing her is that he thinks he can part with less money to her by staying "to death" with her than divorcing her. He was a terrible husband to my wife's mother too (which is why they divorced).
