[quote]For me, I don't care if my settlement is 50/50 or 60/40 or whatever. I can make money easier than my STBX. I want her to have a nice apartment and be relatively financially secure, at least to the extent I can provide. It's not worth the fight. [quote]

I don't understand the comment that you can make money easier than your STBX. Does that somehow entitle her to your money?

Why do you feel the obligation to 'provide' for her even though you won't be married?

This is the way many women feel, as if we have deprived them of a career, when actually they never had any career aspirations.
