So, you have asked her about this? How do you know her mind wasn't
clouded with thoughts of love and lust, and a long marriage with
someone, never anticipating the splitup later.

Cue the "well it's obvious response.."

No, it's not obvious, mr oblivious.

Here's an example from the real-world:

My brother-in-law is a good man. He pays his child support on time and
does his best to see his kid whenever he can. They got married too
young and, as it happens all too often, kids get married, then grow
apart as they mature. He and his former wife have a wonderful little
girl who is doing well in high school.

Thing is: My brother in law doesn't make much money see, and he has
been hard pressed at times to make child support each month because his
payments far exceed his ability to pay and have any sort of life for
himself, let alone save for other things. He has gotten a lawyer (with
what? I don't know, he has no money for a lawyer.) and has filed
appeals to get his monthly payments lowered. No chance.

As for his former wife, she lives fairly comfortably with her parents,
and they pretty much take care of the kid. They go to Florida a couple
of times a year for a couple of weeks on vacation, when she visits us
she always is wearing the latest clothes, has a nice computer.
Grandparents pay for a lot of this of course.

The bad part about all of this is that getting into this sort of
contractual agreement with a person is almost like getting put into
prison. You may get out, but you will be stuck in the system forever.

And dude, grow some balls and be on the man's side for a change.

And lastly, your *** is getting boring. I only read this post because
I'm trying to close a zero balance credit card to get it out of my life
and they made me spend way too long on hold to get to a live person to
close it out. So instead of staring off into space, I read this post.

My mistake.
