[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Wow this was harsh and maybe needed. I am not a gold digger and we will obviously have a prenup since we both have children. I was just in shock because boyfriend had previously told me that he does not pay alimony. Well maybe not but you give her 22 percent of your income!!! Boyfriend is not looking to buy her out and I respect that. I guess I just have to look at it like she was an initial investor of his start up. For the pp who asked about college they agreed to him paying 70 percent and her paying 30. She forfeited her 22 percent the first 21 months of the divorce as her way of "buying out" the house. If you add those numbers up he got screwed there too. He just has an attitude like "you can always make more money" while I find her selfishness irritating he doesn't. [b]I need to take his lead and let it go. [/b][/quote] OP, your bf values peace and a stress-free relationship with his co-parent above money. He recognizes and respects the contribution his ex made to his current financial situation. He recognizes that having a good relationship with his ex benefits his kids, and he made a deal that let the entire family come out on the other side of chaotic, heartbreaking situation as well it possibly could have. Your bf does not give anyone 22% of his income. He has a 78% share of the business and gets his full income from that. It just so happens that the other investor/shareholder in his business is his ex. Please let go of your attitude. As a person who has made a similar arrangement for the peace of all concerned, I can tell you that in your bf's place I would get rid of you before I would let you bring stress to my child/family. Let it go, let it go......[/quote]
