Kiss - this is an area where I disagree with E. I say take his money. I am not being Sh!tty, your H and mine are very much alike and they are great guys who made really crappy life decisions. He really is trying to help you becuase your situation is serious with a natural disaster affecting you. I would take it without question. When you are friends with the STBXH it is different.
I know that even after my divorce if something came up that was an emergency, XH would help and I would probably accept. I don't think it is weak. stuff happens that is not in our control. just because he is nice and helps you doesn't mean you are tied to him emotionally.
You choose to be tied to him emotionally or you choose not to. It has nothing to do with money.
I totally understand what E is saying, and it is good to have a man's point of view! but I think you have more than proved that aside from a Hurricane, you can stand on your own
I am proud of you girlfriend.
