I get that people need to protect themselves and their money but it almost sounds like a defeatist attitude going in. I didn't worry about such things when I first shacked up with a lady I was just happy it was going to be a lot easier to have sex and I didn't have anything better to do at the time.

Now, the second (maybe third) time around it was different as I figured there was a future there but money and assets still never came into play. Granted, that was over 20 years ago. Tough situation. Relationships are all about trust and I can see people taking exception to being asked to sign one but you still need to protect yourself. Man...

Basically I got nothing. Good luck young man.

Having seen a family member (not in Alberta) get taken to the cleaners by a common law girlfriend about 10 years ago that cost him six figures, I don’t take anything for granted.

We all thought she was a sweetheart. Until they broke up and she made his life hell. Expensive life lesson that was.
