'I also feel bitter because I never felt comfortable paying for his kids.'
I’ve been married for 10 years. We share two young kids and I have two stepchildren. We had full custody of his two children during our marriage with no financial support from their mother.
He makes $150,000 a year and I make about $45,000. He paid all the bills for several months. He asked me to pay $900 a month toward our $3,000 rent. Given the disparity in your salaries, it’s hard to argue that you should not contribute one-third of the rent. You are a smaller household with fewer expenses, and it’s on a parity with your respective salaries. You can think of the money you paid toward his two children as your share of the rent, if it helps sweeten that bitter taste. But expressing your displeasure with those contributions now would be a fruitless task, and only lead to ill will.
