Re: maybe i'm still bitter

guess what bugs me is that yes, she cared for the kids, but he WORKED and went to school in the evening, so it was not like she was supporting him, HE was paying for everything.

Except childcare. Sure he WORKED and he went to school evenings. He didn't have to worry about getting home and helping the kids with homework, bathing them, getting lunches ready for the next day, trying to find time to study and worrying about paying for extra childcare so he could go to school. Plus it gave him time for an extra cirricular sex life. Nice.

Do I think that warrants alimony? No, because I'm against it except in very extreme cases, but in my world it never would have happened that my husband got to spend the time furthering his education while I sat home with the kids so he could do it. Either we'd have both been going on neither of us would.
