I think about it sometimes. He goes and spends all his money on his cars and his boat and then at the end of the week freaks out and has no money to pay bills that he needs and then expects me to bail him out. After about 6 months I got jack of it and I now hide my money and I'm like "I've got nothing left after paying all my bills." Then I get his mother abusing me because he constantly asks her for money. In case you haven't noticed, I'm living comfortably while your son is struggling, I'm clearly not the problem 🤷‍♀️. He's meant to be saving for us to go on a holiday and he has had over 6 months. He has saved $50. Meanwhile I started a little less than a month ago because I'm not having the kids go without cause he sucks at saving and already have $300. He will ask me for money while we are on holidays but, you watch. Sorry honey, answer is no 🙅‍♀️

On the surface it was about finances but really it was about him trying to control me eg not wanting me to work so I was completely financially dependent on him (I was studying too, no kids). He used money as a tool of manipulation.

My mum did with my step dad. He was hopeless with money, always buying stuff with credit cards, and paying off those card with more credit. my mum is a saver and a budgeter the opposite of my step dad and so she ended it after 15 years together. Because nothing changed and it caused such huge friction in the marriage.
