writes:I am currently living with my boyfriend and legally a spouse according to Ontario legislation. Recently while filling out a form to go on his work benefits as his spouse I noticed that he filled out another form at the same time for life insurance and said that he does not have one ( a spouse). He marked his children down as beneficiary's.There is a part of me that is ok with that, but I am struggling with another part of myself that feels offended and I am wondering whether or not he takes this relationship serious. I am left with the impression that he does not take the relationship seriously enough to consider a future with me.My question is two fold. 1. Am I being too sensitive with this?2. Is it just me or is he sending mixed signals here in this relationship? Reply to this Question

reader, anonymous, writes (19 August 2009): I don't know what the laws are in Ontario if you are considered legally a spouse and he were to die if you would be entitled to any life insurance if not named on the policy....so I guess you would need to look into that.
That said, he is only concerned about leaving something to his children as they are his heirs.
If he hasn't married you, he probably doesn't consider that he owes you that, however, if he has a trust, he could leave you the house and a certain amount of money, so it really depends on how he has this all set up.
If you don't know this about his and your finances, the person you need to be asking his him.
I don't know if this is a mixed message or not, I just think you don't have the information that you need or want.
