[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those women, or men, that have seriously dated someone with long-term alimony payments, how did you discuss the details of the payments when considering a future joint household? From my understanding, it was a "loss of passion" or sexless relationship that lead to the divorce. It was finalized when the last kid was in their junior year of high school. I have not asked the exact amount but there over 10 years to go on the payments. He is mildly sensitive about the topic, and I do not ask many questions. [b]I am very supportive when he vocalizes frustration.[/b]

BTW: My personal earnings are more in align with his. [b]With the alimony payments, he makes less than I do.[/b] [/quote]

I wish you happiness with your bf, OP, but I find this gross. He does not "make less than you do"--he pays his former wife money that was part of their divorce agreement. It's a standing/budgeted expense like a car payment. You wouldn't say "with his car payment, he makes less than I do."

FWIW, I am a woman who is still married to my one and only husband. But you sound like you have either never been married or do not have children or both.[/quote]
