[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's 40 and always wanted a child but also works 60+ hours and isn't engaged? What happens if you do stay together (married or not?). He will want a SAH mother/primary caregiver. It will turn your kids' lives upside down to have a child in the context he wants. I'm sorry but your living children preempt his resistance. I would abort.[/quote]

I know plenty of wealthy SAHMs with husbands who work a lot and quite enjoy their setup. [/quote]

But OP doesn't have that set up. She works apparently and that is the environment she chose to best raise her kids. This new guy knocks her up and is going to turn their whole structure upside down? No thanks. YMMV.[/quote]

No, she currently has to work. There’s a difference. You don’t know whether she chose that or not. [/quote]

She has two kids already. Even if he is so generous that he’ll support them too (kids he has never even MET at this point), is he willing to support them entirely, make up her lost earnings, pay for two extra college tuitions, etc? A person with two kids can’t risk being a sahm to a new spouse. If this marriage doesn’t work she’ll be out of the workforce with no prospects at an age when it’s hard to jump back.[/quote]
