Second approach to financial agreement/arrangement.

Basically I ate crow. Not in a groveling way. More of an empowering way.

I told her that having re-thought things, I realize that I do love her and she is the mother of my children. I hate the thought of her working a job she hates.

She is a gifted and talented writer. So write. That is your job. 6 days, 6 weeks or 6 months from now, when she sells her first big song or work, we will both be set to go our separate ways. The financial issues she is so concerned about will be resolved, for both of us.

I told her that I think working a job you hate is the equivalent of manual labor. I wouldn't want her to do that. Either way it won't be easy right now, once I'm back up and running I will hustle just as I did before. Just as I would have to do whether she is working or not, because of a D. Financially, there is no way around having to hustle long and hard.

So it would be better for both of us if she does something she loves and has the potential to pay much better, a heck of a lot quicker than if she were to work her way up in some other job/career.

I told her that if someone offered me the opportunity to do something I love until I can get it up and running, established and self-sustaining..., I would jump on it with both feet. After thinking about what I would want in an ideal situation, I decided to present it to her.

She didn't say anything. She seemed to get a little misty eyed, but there is a lot going on within her right now so I don't put too much stock in any emotional response.

Patience, strength and love.
