[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently found out that my boyfriend of 3 years is still supporting his ex- wife. The support is not court ordered. He pays child support and supplements the mortgage on the home they had together. He often pays for outside activities.  The child support will end soon.

I make significantly more than him and hr has asked for money in the past. I didn't mind sharing to an extent but when I found out that he is still supporting her, I was shocked.  She will not get a better job. I am afraid that he will continue to justify doing this when the kids are in college. If we get married, I am also afraid he will use our combined income to live.[/quote]

That's a lot of nerve then to ask you for money. His ex needs to pay her own mortgage or sell the home. She can get a 2nd job, but this is something you should tell him is not negotiable.  [/quote]

I think you approach it nicely first, asking him when he plans to end the financial contributions.  Not an ultimatum.

Once he provides his answer, OP can decide whether to give ultimatum, whether to break up, etc.

Yes I mean't nicely, but letting him know it will be a deal breaker if he continues.[/quote]
