That he is dying. Now I face the very imminent likelihood of raising our 1yr old son alone. He knew when we met. 5yrs ago he had a 5yr prognosis and we met online 2yrs ago.

I didn’t realize any of these things until she moved in with me & it became clear that she was barely a functioning adult. She couldn’t use a washing machine, iron or dishwasher. She had no ambition, she dealt with her problems by going to bed early & hoping they’d solved themselves by morning. She spent all her money on her horse & had to borrow money for fuel to get to work by the 3rd week of most months. The only thing she could cook were fries & chicken nuggets. She thought it was okay to work all day, ride her horse then go to bed without showering or brushing her teeth. She didn’t consider tidying up after herself to be normal & she would proudly text me when she did some laundry or the washing up, then got annoyed when I wasn’t grateful she’d managed to sort out her own shit. But mainly, she liked to f*ck other dudes.

My ex husband is terrible with money. Has been his entire adult life, even now. When we started dating, we were broke college kids. We both had part time jobs but he never seemed to have money. Over the years, he graduated, got a good job, we married, had a baby. My excellent credit history slipped huge, I amassed a ton of debt because of his spending habits. When he left me for another woman, he left me over $30k in marital debt, and thru the power of his attorney, I was stuck with it. We’ve been divorced for going on 4 years now and I’m just starting to recover financially. And now he pays child support for our child on top of taking care of his new family.

She thought pornography was cheating. Never once came up jerking it for years, and then suddenly she sees the browser history and I’m divorced.
