My sister met up w/an old bf, & he wants to marry her. (only been talking for about 3 mos, hasnt seen him for about 30yrs (she is 51) & she told him no not yet) he is getting divorced (sis already is) & they are planning on driving a tractor trailer truck together so they can afford a huge ranch with horses, etc etc. That is what he is promising her. The thing is, she has 3 boys, 18, 17, and 16 who will be home alone while she is on the road w/this guy! am i wrong for disagreeing? he said he will give her all his money in exchange for him staying at her house when he is home for the 4 days from the road.

You are not wrong for disagreeing. Who's going to look after your sister's 17 and 16 year olds while she's on the road. If they don't have proper supervision this could become a case for child protective services. Your sister needs to make mature decisions. If this guy is giving her all his money, then what will he have for himself. He needs to get his divorce and get over the relationship with his wife before he starts another one.

It's really for her to decide honey. IF she can honestly say she trusts in him and all, then it's up to her to make sure he's being honest about all of this.
Until they get along down the road, she should except money for him staying there. She shouldn't turn her home and family into his new found rest area for free.
I hope she does try and see how things go, before getting in the truck and taking off.

why do they want a tractor trailer? Why don't they just go out for a little while (only if they haven't been out.) And why don't they take the boys with them? Whats wrong with that?

Well Darling,
You really can't make choices for a grown up sister , old enough to have three teen age sons. I don't think she'll let you and you could cause trouble between you two by trying to tell her what's right or wrong.
I think I'd just let her make her own decisions unless she asks for your help.
