[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was your DH still married to his first wife when you met him?  Did the fact that he has a big income factor into your attraction for him?  Did you buy a beautiful, big house, or is part of the problem that you are sacrificing so much to barely make ends meet while living in an imperfect home?[/quote]

This.

I sense a honey trap or possibly a gold digger in the OP.  First, there is too much enthusiasm and too many exclamation points associated with her discussion of the end CS for DH's children from the first marriage(!)

OP also sets up the premise so that we feel great sympathy that her poor, dear children cannot even afford to get haircuts, ice cream, or maybe even a preschool education because DH needs to pay his older children's CS and college tuition (DH's older children are also the supposed reason why the $350K rainy-day fund cannot be touched).  OP wonders as well, why financial support would ever continue for DH's older children outside of college (will she feel this same way when her own little ones want to attend graduate school, help with a wedding, a car, a down payment on a house?).

Also, OP now has a kindergartener (age 5-6), and DH's older children are finishing college (age 22) and about to start college (age 18), suggesting that the children from the first marriage were fairly young (12, 16) at the time of DH's remarriage.

It is clear from all of OP's posts that DH earns a good income as well.

I say this to OP --  if you married DH, then you married his children and his obligations to them -- for better (mostly in your case -- as he is wealthy), and for worse.  [/quote]
