What was your online experience? I dated online for about two years and met my current husband. The first time I saw him, I just knew he was it. We were on matchmaker.com He had the most criteria that reflected my answers to the questionnaire. I'll be darned if that computer wasn't exactly right. We like the same movies.

Or he may be unclear about the matter himself...
...wife with serious cause to mistrust her spouse--which you clearly do not have--could take steps to prevent the cad from illegally raiding her trust to buy a lavender Porsche for his young floozy. The wife could ask her husband to redraft their trusts so that a bank or one of their children would have to sign off on withdrawals of principal. If he refused, she could hire her own lawyer, revoke her trust and leave everything outright to her kids. In marriages like yours, estate lawyers say, such arrangements are rarely necessary.
