[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ex husband is looking for a new beard, since my family money is no longer his. If alcoholic middle aged traveling salesmen are your shtick I’ve got a real live prospective leech for you. He will be mean to you while he resents you. [/quote]

"Beard" usually implies that he's gay and you, the wife, are covering up for that secrecy. Like a beard covering the face.[/quote]

Usually, yes. In my case I was his financial beard. He liked to live a lifestyle he couldn’t afford without my daddy’s money- which he both coveted and deeply resented. I kept that fact discreetly from friends and outsiders till the divorce, when it became obvious. [/quote]

Similar for me. My parents gave us some gifts, but it was always gracious and unexpected; even their trust is revocable and doesn't include current distributions, so none of their money belonged to me or our marriage, but my ex was crazy angry when we got divorced that daddy's money wasn't a factor in our settlement.  He wanted my parents' wealth to be a reason why he should keep almost all of our marital assets and not pay any child support even though he also doesn't have parenting time because he moved away.  Ultimately, he doesn't pay child support because I don't enforce it, but for years, he was so horrible to me and used whatever time he had with our kids to hurt them as a proxy to hurting me because our divorce settlement ended up a 50/50 split (and I have always worked and contributed).  So ugly. [/quote]

Can you both stop saying “daddy’s money”? Doesn’t help your case.[/quote]

1. Just owning the phrase people on her will use to mock us.
2. I’m not making a case I’m having a discussion related to my experiences with the topic. [/quote]
