Guys, would you break off this relationship -

Since you've been together 6 months she may just feel comfortable venting to you, she may think of you as somewhat of her partner, not sure what your R is like. Women tend to feel more comfortable venting and talking things out sooner I do believe then men.

This is the way I see it too.

No harm in keeping your eyes open.

I am not of the party of women that look at what the man makes, I make my own money, and can stand on my own 2 feet. I can take care of my own 2 children myself.

So the pay check factor is not my number 1 priority. I think that she just may be venting. As Bethie stated listen to your heart and gut.

That is very true. There are two LBS women that use to post on this BB that accepted the child support but declined alimony from their H's even though they were entitled to it by law.

And why was this brought up?


Alimony, if you are lucky enough to have it granted, then by all means I see nothing wrong with using it.

That doesn't make any person less of a person, or mark them as unable to make it on their own 2 feet.

These type of systems are in place for a reason. I was raised by very old school parents, that came to this country with zero.

My father of all people said don't you dare feel guilty for accepting what the courts say you are entitled to.


If, additionally, a woman has left her career to care for her family, she is at a distinct disadvantage financially... she will probably not catch up to where she would be if she had never married and had children... Alimony seeks to compensate her and more so their children for the sacrifices she made...

ooops forgot to put my Shanon!

Ok need a drink now.
