[quote=Anonymous]Dh and I have been married 1.5 years.  On Sundays we always go out to dinner with his ex wife, their 3 kids, and sometimes their mom brings her boyfriend.  DH insists on treating every single time even though their mom and the boyfriend try and pay.  I casually mentioned this week that he should take them up on their offer once in awhile and he got very serious and said "Larla Im the patriarch of my family and Sunday dinner will be on me, every week, no matter who comes, every single time."  This is NOT like my husband.  He's not an alpha male and Ive never even heard him say the word patriarch before.  It made me wonder why he has such a need to treat. Makes other things feel a little un easy too.  Like sometimes he will give Ex a few 50s and say "I know its been a heavy month." Which is in regards to random kid expenses. That makes me uneasy as I know the amount taken out of his paycheck is very generous and far above what court ordered.  Also the oldest is turning 18 soon and the agreement is to stop paying 180 days after high school graduation and he has already said things like "we will see how it works out" and "even though he's leaving the house there will still be expenses" etc etc.  My gut says its too much but my mind says I have to stay out of it in order for this to work.  Before you pound me I am NOT the other woman, DH was divorced for 3 years before I met him, and we all as adults get along well. I have a child from my first marriage but her dad is not around financially or physically so I dont have an idea of the "norm."  Any insight from other blended families. [/quote]
