[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I get the resentment, I really do.  The ex's passive income happens to be more than my annual salary as a teacher, so if this were my fiancé I can see feeling very resentful that his work would support his ex to the tune of more than I make working full time.  So yeah.  I get the resentment.

That said, I love your guy's response.  I love that he acknowledges he would not have the business if it were not for her, and feels its fair that she get a cut of it.

Beyond this money, she's always going to be tethered to him.  Always.  I significantly underestimated how much that would bother me before I married my DH, hi had a child (now adult) from a previous marriage.  There will be crises with the children.  There will be events.  There will be weddings and grand kids and she and that money she gets will be there always.

Can you be okay with that?  I honestly don't think I could be. The money is just too much on top of the kids that will always be a connection between them.  If you can't let go of that resentment soon and completely, I think you are setting yourself up to be very very unhappy.  Let him go and find a something less fraught.[/quote]
