[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op—I faced a similar situation.  DHs ex wife did not work at all.  She was a SAHM till the youngest graduated HS.  She now works and makes enough to live on but DH still pays the mortgage on her house.

I knew this going in.  It was ok with me.  I supported our household for many years.  He has 2 kids from his first marriage and 2 from ours.
 
We all get along very well.  The kids get along and there is no resentment between them that the little kids get xyz because I work and their mom did not.  We treat all 4 kids fairly.  And yes, sometimes a little kid has to give up something for a big kid—but that’s true in any family.

DH and I have been together for 20 yrs.  His 2nd child was 5 when we started dating.  Two are now out of college and we still help them out.  We are helping the oldest with the down payment on his house.  Our oldest daughters wedding is next summer and we are paying for that.  And even though we are paying for it, her bio mom is fully involved and I take the back seat.  I bore 2 children but I have 4 and I work to support all 4.

If you’re in this for the long haul, a few years or even a lot of years of helping the ex-wife out is no big deal.  It creates harmony within the family structure.[/quote]

You sound like a very lovely, well grounded person.  [/quote]
