MONEY TALK
Hi ladies
So I am married, been together three years. When I met my husband, he was living with his parents (age 36) He had a lot of debt due to a legal matter he was fighting. He has two children, age 19 & 17.
I am a home owner, have my own relatively successful business. Although, at this stage, I don't see much of the profits, as they go straight back into building the business, this is how it is for the first few years. I have no children.
Anyway, for the first year my then BF didn't pay a dime toward the bills, food etc. I'd cook him his dinner every night and he lived here with me. All the while, he's paying £300 a month toward his adult kids plus all other expenses they have.
After some big arguments he starts giving me £75 a week, which nearly covers HIS food. We get married and decide to give him 8k to knock some of his debts down so he can actually take me out to dinner once in a while and hopefully we could live a nicer lifestyle. His 19 year old is about to start uni for 3 years so this support just doesn't seem to end. I feel so resentful that there is an endless supply of funds going to his ex for these two ADULTS.
We have seperated, been six weeks now and so many things are running through my mind, like is this worth it. Should I just find someone without all this baggage. Am I wrong to hate this situation. So much? Any advice ladies is gratefully recieved. 😘
