It’s really unfair, since I am the one who supported him thru college and we took care of kids 65/35%. Kids always need mom, at least when they are 3 and 7, and they are both girls. [/quote]

Welcome to the table! It’s been this way for men always. Why should it be any different for women? [/quote]

Because men are usually not the ones who take care of kids in addition to building their career. As I mentioned it is 65% on me to take care of kids on a daily basis. I am the one who keeps track of their activities, schedule their activities, do 70% of pick up and drop off, sleep with them and take care of them when they are sick… My husband is not a stay home dad… he has been going to college and then building his career, while I was taking care of kids 65% of time and advancing as well… [/quote]

DP.

This does not make any sense. You chose a man who earned much less than you did. You got into this with your eyes wide open. Now you have what you wanted ( kids), and you want to eat your cake and have it too.

You knew there was a chance your marriage would end in divorce and still chose to have kids with someone you'd have to support if the marriage ended.

If money is that important to you, marry at your income level.[/quote]

When we met in 2012, I was waking $40k, he was making the same…. I never thought of career projector over the next 15 years…
