[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I divorced my wimp of an ex two years ago after 8 years of marriage and remarried an electrician and couldn’t be happier.  Although the ex earned great money as a lawyer, I realized I needed more than just a housemate who just played video games in his free time and that it wasn’t my responsibility to frustratingly try to change him.  I got custody (uncontested) of the two daughters (now 7 and 5) and we took a hit in standard of living, but after remarrying a man who invests his time and energy in making our modest house a home and spending time teaching the children how to fish, boat, plant, work with tools, be self-reliant and DIY I am so much more content.  The ex additionally hasn't seen daughters in a year and continues to cancel visitation.  Daughters do call DH daddy.  [/quote]

So are you suggesting that OP should divorce her husband and find a new one who is handy?[/quote]

she has child support, so living the lawyer's standard of living without having to deal with a DH putting in the hours to make that kind of money win/win. Hopefully she's smart enough to save some of that lawyer money for when the kids leave for college and the checks stop [/quote]
