The Woman is Pure Evil

[Zues126]

Thank you for the reply Ginger. While I don't celebrate the adversity you've faced, it is good to have people from both sides of the gender divide weigh in.

You're right, had you been less supportive during your relationship, leaned on him to provide, and acted helpless and needy, well, when he left you could've have had a pretty easy road for yourself. Well, at least you have your dignity and integrity. I know I have no regrets about making the choices I made, from working hard, to putting my heart in XW's hands, to making myself totally vulnerable legally. Even with how things played out I wouldn't do it differently because it's the only thing I could've done.

To be fair...I should mention that XW was the stay at home mom and did the vast majority of the parenting during our M, and post D there are a lot of things she still is taking the lead on in terms of getting kids to doctors, getting glasses, etc. I have stepped up a lot, but am not at 50% across the board. And she is a great mom in so many ways. My point is that while I am court ordered to work and pay a ton of money, she is court ordered to continue to care for my children. I'm not suggesting anything is one sided. But it is definitely a difficult situation for all involved.
