No she has a "job." She seems to be supporting herself and the kids just fine.
Her alluding to something keeps you on the string. It's not her only option. You are plan B just in case. Remove Plan B. if it's really that bad over there you will find out. You give her all the control over you because you will do anything to make this work. She will still be looking for Plan A because she won't be attracted to you (Plan B) .
Why do you think you get so few responses to your posts?
RobX calls it observing reality. this isn't the first time this woman has done it to you. you are doomed to repeat if you don't change the dynamic. is what you are doing working? is it helping you meet your goals?
You have a choice in how you handle things. I would never recommend to do anything that goes against your morals, values or beliefs. Why are you chasing woman who violates your integrity? Even she can't stand you for it. It makes you look like a chump. that's the reality.
