[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s always about $.  My ex had an AP that thought she was going to be taken care of. She didn’t work and her husband wasn’t a high earner.  She saw out lifestyle and thought it was her ticket to the good life.  Joke was on her when she blew up her marriage only after finding out all the $ came from me.  And, then when it was out in the open he didn’t want to be with her anyway.  Last I heard was she had to get some minimum wage service job. [/quote]

I was a long term AP and did not care about or want his $. I loved him. Would have been fine with him giving his wife everything (which IMO she deserved under the circumstances) and starting over in whatever situation that meant. Probably moving to a LOCL area like a college town. I work and do okay enough for myself & whatever he could make before aging out would have been a bonus. They had a great life that she deserved to keep. Except that her DH was an incorrigible cheater. [/quote]

Why would you want to live this way? I just don't get it. [/quote]

I didn’t and eventually left him. It was an unusual situation. We became emotionally close in a legitimate professional relationship before the physical part started so I was already emotionally dependent on him. Separating was very painful. I loved him deeply (but no longer allow myself to) but wouldn’t do it again. My situation does not matter. It was only to say that it’s not always about the money, although I’m sure that was a consideration for him.[/quote]

“Close in a legitimate professional relationship”… he was your boss, wasn’t he? [/quote]
