My STBX and I are ending a 13 year relationship. It was my decision to leave due to "different lifestyles". I don't hate him; in fact, I wish him all the best. When it came time to figure out what he owes me for spousal support (maintanance) I chose to waive it because once child support gets established and expenses are paid, he will only be making $5 a week. I didn't have the heart to "screw" him and firmly believe that its more important to continue a positive relationship for our daughter's sake than to cause turmoil. However, I'm struggling to get on my feet and everyone in my life thinks I'm crazy for not making him pay. Its not my nature to be nasty but I also need to support myself. Did I do the wrong thing?
