My ex is asking for money. Advice!
So a little back story- I was the breadwinner in my relationship with my daughter's dad. I left him about a week ago. The home we lived in, was his alone so baby girl and I are living with my mom. I have baby full time and he hasn't seen her yet since we left, but is asking for 2 days a week.
Soooo since his job doesnt pay very well, he is saying he might have to sell his home if I cant help him with some money. He won't even entertain the idea of a second job. He works from home m-f until 3 and has all weekends and evenings free. I'm really upset that he is putting this burden on me. I cant understand why he wouldn't just get a second job to make the extra $200 he needs for his home? Then he guilts me into thinking I still need to take care of him? He is 34 and I'm 25 for reference. I know I need to put my foot down and realize that he is a grown ass man and if it was that important or he was that scared to not have somewhere to live, then he would make sacrifices. I get an extra bonus check this month for like $1500 and he said the only way he will be ok is if I give it to him because "I'll still have plenty". Keep in mind, he ONLY needs an extra like $200 to pay his bills and live. I also am not going to ask for child support, which I feel like his helping enough.
Am I wrong for feeling this way? Of course I want him to be ok, but I also have to take care of myself and my daughter.
Thoughts??
