i hate when stories like these are portrayed in a romantic/positive way.
also this is what you get when you propose to your man
edit: I actually looked up this story and they’re also an age gap couple. He’s 81 and she’s 64. So she was 22 and he was 39 when they got together and he currently has dementia
We complain about LVM now but... this was in a time when men were shamed (somewhat) for not providing for a woman, and it was an extreme taboo for the woman to propose, and not get married at a young age(for both). As boomers, he must be a level 99 LVM in order for this to happen.
There won't be anything left to inherit if he's in a care home in the UK. In fact, she's potentially just sacrificed her entire life wealth because now the local authority (social care people) will be entitled to that too as marital property
My thoughts exactly. And in some places, because of his dementia diagnosis he might lack the legal capacity to enter into a valid marriage in the first place.
Wow!

At least she'll inherit everything now

Why just why... ugh please just .. nevermind.
