Yikes man, owning a home with someone married to someone else is super dangerous for you.

Not to mention medical situations. Suddenly you have no rights over your long term partners health/life if they are incapacitated.

Yeah but think of all the takeout meals it would cost for the divorce

Let's hope his partner doesn't get hit by a bus.

Both ways. He should live it up for a couple of years. Make sure to use her line of credit and credit cards. His wife’s ex-husband will have to pay half when they finally divorce. Buy a car in her name, sell it, and use the proceeds to buy a car in your name. The possibilities are endless.

[I am not advocating this obviously. Mostly I am agreeing how super dangerous this is.]
