This is why I would never marry a broke man. Leave now. It's only going to get worse. You can live the same lifestyle now without him and don't make the same mistake in your 2d marriage. [/quote]

Agree that this is why not to marry a broke man, but she married an Ivy League educated man, apparently a lawyer, with serious earning potential.

You are not giving her good advice.  Their two incomes combined can only support one crappy apartment.  If they split, their combined incomes now have to support two crappy apartments.  The lifestyle will be worse, if anything.  And there are kids involved.  There are other choices besides accept the status quo or divorce.  I threw fits over this until my husband stepped it up, and in retrospect it was the wake up call he needed and we are much better off now.  Thee is some lingering resentment perhaps on both sides, but we are still better off than if we had divorced.  Divorce is a financial disaster.  And she's not going to be some hot ticket for remarriage, saddled with two kids.  [/quote]
