do i want to give my child the privilege of having both Mommy & Daddy together? absolutely id go through hell & back for that, but i will not sit in an unhappy toxic miserable situation teaching my child that it's okay to deal w a mans b*llsht for the sake of a child. nah.
I'd rather pay $3000 alone than pay $0 with my partner if it costs me parts of myself or my sanity.
Y'all underestimate how expensive peace of mind is.
