But let's call a spade a spade, it doesn't make any sense.
He is not afraid of her leaving. I have been telling him that he is controlling for years, however, he is not my partner, so what does that matter. I still thought he was an 'ok' guy, even though he was extreeeemly (yes I meant the extra eee's!:)) weird TO ME!
But this is just strange. I have guy friends and relatives that are single fathers and thank God they HAVE NOT had to go to court because they have always gotten along with the mothers when it comes to any financial arrangement and visitations. They spend summers with their children, are involved in their school life, have visitations during the week, etc all WITHOUT EVER GOING TO COURT. This is possible..Adults can be cordial, even tempered and work together for what is best for the children without the court being involved!......
BUT THEY DIDN'T LIVE TOGETHER OR OWN A HOME TOGETHER!
That is what is weird...now can you honestly tell me that you don't think that this is strange? Seriously?!
