If in your situation what would I do? 1/ Don"t blow up. Not yet anyway. First do some legal research either online or get a lawyer. Chance favors the prepared mind. Sometimes marriage vows can be taken as a legal contract and by breaking this contract she may not be entitled to some or all of your prized possessions (read tractors). 2/Decide what your going to do. Caution: it may be desirable for some men to have a wife with a "friend", however, she may end up leaving you for her (while taking all of your money in the process). I go to school with someone whose mother did this. Funny story, serious consequences. The least I would do to cover your ASSets is to have her sign a post-nuptial agreement. If the situation bothers you, try counseling however counselors may turn this situation into "she is the victim because you are a _________ A$$*&^#.” Fill in blank with trendy catch phrase. This may lead to divorce so be prepared! 3/ Being prepared. One key step in preparation is to not let her know what is coming. The less prepared she is, the more prepared you are. Stay calm cool and collected while researching and deciding your course of action. After completing #1 you will have a rough idea of what would happen, financially, in a worst case divorce situation. If divorce is chosen, quietly sell your tractors and tools and other movable possessions cheaply to a good friend who would sell them back to you at a "fair" price. Take money from savings and tools and set up some type of trust fund for children for AFTER they get out of college or college will take it. If no kids, bury it somewhere or take a trip to Vegas or both. 4/ When you have fully researched and understand all the different courses of action that you can take, act. Have all your legal documents or counselors lined up. Make it a yes no decision for her. The less say she has in deciding, the less she can bend the situation to her favor. Weird things happen when marriages go south. I have friends who got married right out of school. Four-five years later wife is living with kids and new beau (in your case girlfriend) in new house while husband makes the payments. How this is possible, I don’t know. I just know that the laws favor women 60/40 if not more. The only tool, as a man, you can fight this with is research and preparedness. Be prepared!
