Hmm so you're a lawyer with a Master's degree?
He is six years younger than me.
As far as for me getting my head on straight - I think my head is more than straight considering that I make twice as much as my soon to be ex-husband - my house, car and everything else is in my name and I have been holding it down since I bought my house at the age of 23. I have a Master's Degree and a job that most people would kill to have. I have three children in school that are all A-B honor roll students. I have survived one divorce (14 years ago) and my kids adjusted just fine. My husband was the one who stepped outside of our marriage and screwed up. Why should I be unhappy because he chose another route?
I am not going to marry this man tomorrow. I have already been married twice and not sure if I want to go down the marriage road again. I had a tubal ligation after my last child so kids are not an issue between us. He makes almost as much money as I do (we're both lawyers) so he could support my family if he had to but I'm capable of doing it on my own w/no issues. I have brought up the issues of my kids and the things that go along with it and he said he wouldn't be here if he wasn't ready to deal with that. Only time will tell.
Thanks for the advice ladies. I think I'm going to ride it out and see what happens.
I say continue to smash him on the regular until one of yall cheat. Just keep riding (no pun intended)Because I don't know of any relationships that started out with infidelity and lasted.
Posting this really isn't going to make a difference because YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!
Hmm so you're a lawyer with a Master's degree?
I took this to mean that she has a J.D. and a Master's.
I hear what you are saying. It would be strange for me to say, "Blah blah blah and darn it I have my BA". Knowing full well that I also have a Master's, why wouldn't I just say that? Oh well.I don't know anyone with a degree more advanced than a Master's that focuses on their Master's. Hell I know I don't (but I'm a braggart). I've never heard anyone with a JD, PhD, etc., say: (hand on clavicle) "and EYE have MY Masters."
I'm not sayin'
I'm just saying...#kanyeshrug.
I'm still stuck on FIVE kids. I say gatdamn!
I think Emanon and I are on the same page as you.The reason why I pointed this out is because there holes/missing facts/exaggerated details in the story.
But would that be the thing, especially on this site that they would speak of first?No, there are a quite a few J.D.'s that also have Master's.

That is like my SO who is in education would he say I am Raheem Doe M Ed or would he say I am Raheem Doe Phd? Most people would say Raheem Doe Phd, although a few may say Raheem Doe M Ed they are both true. I think that is was we find particularly strange on LHCF.
So I shook my head, "What's up?"
"Hello," she smiled as she rung me up
Orange juice $3.29, Croissants $4.85
She sniffed, Butter 89 cents
She sniffed, Strawberries $1.50 a pint
She sniffed, and sniffed, and sniffed, and sniffed again
And then replied, "Raheem, right?"
Right!?!
I don't know what kind of men you ladies are used to dealing with or where you are meeting them at but obviously you have low expectations. He is the one who brought up keeping me in his life. I have just been floating along having fun because between my first husband and my last husband I have been married a total of 14 years. I am not sure about heading down the commitment road again because I haven’t had much luck. If he doesn’t stick around I’m not losing anything other than sex.
Raheem? Right?
LOL Nah, just an example. I can't kick it with John Doe girl, must be a Raheem Doe. I like the little Jill Scott diddy.Is his name REALLY Raheem though? lol
I'm just asking because it made me think of the Jill Scott song "Exclusively."
It may be sleep deprivation on my part and this isn't at all important, but...where's child FIVE?Yes I have a JD and an MBA. Two of my children are nearly grown. There is a considerable age difference because I got married young, had two kids and got a divorce. I got remarried and because he had no kids I agreed to have one more but due to a medical condition where my doctor wouldn’t do a tubal I ended up with two more.
Go to sleep Emanon, you are funny. Child #5 is Raheem Doe, that is a popular name.It may be sleep deprivation on my part and this isn't at all important, but...where's child FIVE?
Did Four and Five come after Three (which was the favor baby) or are we missing a kid? I see it as having "one more but ending up with two" as just ending up with two not three.
I need a nap.
Where they do that at?After my divorce from my ex-husband I had to have somewhere to live so moved in with my mother until I found a program that paid my down-payment and I moved into a house with my two kids(I was still in school and the houses where I live were cheap). Once I finished law school I was able to get a job with the Dept of Justice. I went back to school for my Master's to defer my student loans which are now in repayment status.

Ohhh so she wanted the tubal after #3 but went ON to have #4 AND #5....I see said the blind woman.She said she had two young and got divorced. Then she married husband #2 and agreed to have one more. But then she was not able to get a tubal, which resulted in child #4 and #5.
Hmmm..You say that you're a lawyer but in your profile you state that you are an HR manager. Also most law schools have an accelerated MBA/JD program, you don't graduate with your JD only to go back to get your Masters.
