There it is, once he gets his kids past 18 so he is not on the hook for child support and gets rid of her he can actually start saving for retirement so he does not have to work till he dies. Once it becomes apparent that they cant save money he is going to resent that, she puts the entire family in jeopardy becuase if he looses his job they are all up the creek.

He spends $$ like water as well. He's just says it's all her but it's him too.

if he loses his job it's bankruptcy.

So maybe she will be better off and he can blow money all the way to bankruptcy and she does not have to have her credit wrecked (unless she can not stop her own spending).

Your friend should get her working for at least one year prior to serving her divorce papers; for alimony purposes.

Good suggestion but I have a feeling that won't go over well with her.

It's all a silent Chess game between the two in the end.

There was no mutual decision to stay together for the kids. It's a secret decision HE made, without telling her. Review the OP's posts.

This nation was founded on the pricipals that you dont impose your version of morality on me or others. I dont care if you think its every parents "responsibility" to send there kids to private schools and the best day cares and have the newest and greatest bikes, designer clothes, expensive trips over seas, etc etc.
Rant, much?

Why is he mean to her? When did that start, and what caused it, do you know?
