In financial disclosures they always tell you that past performance is not an indication of future results, but they can be a good indicator of companies that are managed and run well. My wife's cousin married a man from the Caribbean who had two kids from two different women. Her parents tried to dissuade her from marrying the man, but she went ahead with the marriage anyhow. They had two kids together and after about six years he had an affair with another woman and they got divorced. He rarely makes child support payments and has little involvement in his kids lives. Before you get into a binding relationship with this woman, make sure you understand why and how her previous relationship broke down and that she is as committed to building a long term relationship as you are. Don't make a long term financial decision based entirely on emotion. Your parents are simply looking out for your best interest. Take their opinion to heart when making your decision.
