Dear freddo:

What a tough situation for you and for the children. You really like it in France. And you believe your children’s better well-being is in France.

She has been in a relationship with this man for a while, planned on leaving him and living in France, correct?

And she is now considering canceling the plan to move to France because he asked her to marry him. I wonder why is a wedding so important to her, what difference it would make in her life being married to him compared to being in a relationship with him that it has been so far.

And what difference such a marriage would make in the children’s lives, financially, otherwise?
