Re: Reimbursement power struggle

[quote][quote]Her response, "No, I stay home and you bring me money. That's how it's always worked. There's no way an intelligent, college-educated person like my self can earn real money.[quote]

OMG!!!! I cannot believe she actually said that... out loud.[/quote]

To be fair, she said something more along the lines of, "I'm making my contribution by staying at home and taking care of the kids." and, "I won't be able to find a decent job. Who would hire me?"

She also said, "I'm going to be alone forever." A month later she'd hooked up with the dude who she's been with since.

This was back when things were very raw for us. It's much better now.

I can have a bit more compassion about the whole entitlement thing when it is so apparent it is rooted in deep self-esteem issues.
