[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. Can anyone here understand what it’s like when a man uses money to treat you like a child? He sees it as protecting me and giving me a comfortable life. I know that. I know he thinks we have a great marriage but that’s because he almost never looks at things from my perspective. I see now that he treats me like a child - it’s a form of control and I see that I allowed myself to be stunted.[/quote]
While I sympathize with you, if you don’t take the money there is a very good chance that you won’t have enough to retire on and will end up burdening your children down the line. You want to start over like you are in your 20s but you need to accept that that time in your life is gone. Mourn that fact if you need to but it is what it is. [/quote]

But OP you are acting like a child. Clearly your DH knows you aren't that smart when it comes to money. You see it as controlling but he probably sees it as keeping a roof over his families head.  Honestly the fact that you would even consider somethign so dumb and impulsive as running out of a marraige with no assets just to make a point kind of proves that your DH is the smart and responsible one when it comes to grown up things like paying bills and saving for retirement. You need therapy and then you should thank your DH for making sure you have food on your table cause you are one clueless woman when it comes to things like PAYING for stuff.[/quote]
