They also all live in a 4 bedroom house that he bought prior to marrying his wife.
“Financially, I support the kids and provide everything you can think of; I mean everything,” he explained.
“Newest gaming consoles, best schools, newest phones. Multiple family trips a year. I cover all those expenses 100%. Their father brags constantly about how lucky he got it with me, since financially, I cover a ton of their expenses and do a ton for them. Sometimes that makes me feel like a sucker; here I am, working like crazy. Yet he reaps the rewards because I financially take care of his children.”
“Here’s where this hurts, and it’s going to sound absolutely evil. If her kids weren’t here, I would never even slightly consider divorce.”
He loves his wife very much, and she means everything to him. He knows that if he does follow through with divorcing her, it will destroy her life and that of her kids, especially since she can’t afford to support herself and all 3 of them.
He can’t help but think that if they did try for a baby together, it would make him feel like he could work through everything with her, but she is adamant that they do not have a baby.
“Look, I know I’m not perfect; I’m not,” he said. “I do know I have some sense of jealousy raging inside of me. I just want to be appreciated for the things I do. Do kids eventually be grateful? Part of me just wants to hit reset, start with another woman and build my own family. The cost of that selfishness cost my wife a lot, and honestly, I really don’t want to do that.”
If having a child of his own is so important to him, do you think he should find someone willing to experience that with him?
