Ok, being in a relationship for almost a year, my SO has this "duty" to financially support his ex to the extreme. I have always been a bit insecure about his "relaitonship" with his ex wife, but I am a lot better as we have discussed it quite a bit in the last couple of months....I get it, he has a very good relationship with his ex, good friends etc. Just because mine with my ex is meh most of the time doesn't mean others can.
Ok, this leads me to my question, he basically caters to most of her needs STILL after a year and a half. She apparently never asks for money, yet he gives her quite a bit. I never say anything about it, it's really none of my business. I guess he wants her to have whatever she wants, and he says it doesn't affect him financially. But I'm thinking that she should be able to support herself somewhat, they have 50% custody.
I just think she really gets to live like a married woman still even though she ended the marriage, nothing has changed for her. The other day he gave her money for a birthday gift for her sister??? WTF?
I guess it would bother me if we ever moved in together (not for a very long time, and not even discussed at this point) and it affected our own financial situation.
Should I even care??
I think it irks me because I myself have had to support my kids and I since my ex left, and I feel like she gets a free ride. It really has nothing to do with the relationship.
P.S. He's generous with me.
