[quote=Anonymous]My BFF’s exH told her flat out when he had moved out and was paying alimony/child support and she had like 90% custody (he would take the kids out to dinner and things but it was very Disney Dad) that it was all so unfair bc he “was still contributing everything that he did before” but she wouldn’t do things like handle his dry-cleaning and pay his bills and take his car to be maintained.  When he moved out she was surprised by how much less work there was.  The kids were better behaved (bc there was no man-child yelling at them for being kids), the house was cleaner (bc he never did any cleaning but left as much mess as the children), and her day-to-day expenses were literally cut in half, bc he wasted so much money on toys and treats for himself, whereas she and the kids mostly eat at home and live frugally.

He is the one who moved out and she had been sticking it out for a long time bc she didn’t want the kids to lose their lifestyle and she didn’t want them to suffer a broken family.  If instead of going to work all day and paying for that lifestyle he was suddenly home and she had to scrabble to make ends meet AND put up with him, she would absolutely have dumped him.
