I found out my husband of 14yrs did not add my name to his Will- Woman Laments

A woman shared her disappointment on Mumsnet after discovering that her partner of 14 years left her out of his will, listing only his children as beneficiaries.
She explained that they aren’t married, he’s 10 years older than her, and she’s often worried about what would happen if he passed away first.

She wrote: “Backstory

we’ve been together almost 14 years. We’ve got children. Not married. His house we have lived in. He’s 60 I’m 50.

Am I being unreasonable that I’m annoyed now he’s doing his will his intention is to leave everything to the kids? 
We have a decade age gap and I can’t help wondering what would happen to me of he died before me? 
he sees it as his stuff so he leaves to who he wants to but I think it’s a huge red flag coupled with the fact obviously he’s not popped the question too

feels to me like he doesn’t really see us as an US?

what do you think?

This caused alot of stir as a user wrote: “t’s bizarre. How does he expect you to live? Being unmarried you won’t have many rights I’m afraid unless he dies while the kids are dependent on you. You need a serious talk and then to start planning for your future.”

another wrote: “I can’t believe you’ve had to ask. Move out and set yourself up.”

Another wrote: “Saw clients in exactly this scenario last week set up a trust so she could use and enjoy his house for the rest of her life / until she goes into a care home then on her death the house passes to his Dd. That’s what normal decent unmarried people do.”

This is a conversation most committed adults have, why have you not?”
