Madison is with us to start off this hour in Atlanta, Georgia. Hi, Madison. Welcome to the show.
Hi, Dave. Hi, John. Thank you so much for taking my call. Sure. What's up? So I'm in a predicament that I've actually made myself. I got married, second marriage for both of us, not quite six years ago. And at that time, I had been through a pretty bad divorce and had a pretty traumatic first marriage. So definitely was healing from that and met this wonderful man, so nice to me and kind to me and
Um, I just felt head over heels in love with him. Um, I knew he was broke. I knew he didn't have any money and that, that just didn't matter to me. He was just so nice to me and I loved being treated nice. So, um, we got married. Um, I did have him sign a prenup because I was, uh, expecting to inherit a large amount of money from my parents' estate at some point.
I hadn't at that time, but, um, I knew that that would be in the future. And, uh, So he did sign a prenuptial agreement and didn't have any problems with that. Um, however, I started our relationship with just paying all the time. I paid for everything. We'd go out for dinner. I would pay. Um, I already had a place where I lived that I paid for and, uh, you know, et cetera, et cetera.
So I, I understand how I've kind of set a pattern. Um, and at the time it didn't bother me. And, you know, I might want, I also want to add this man's Christian man. He knows the word of God. Um, I really have put this in God's hands and asked for his help. But I just can't figure out why there's no spirit of generosity with him. I've brought up several times, can you please pitch in?
Just kick in. I don't expect half and half. I have plenty of money. I don't need his money. It's just on principle. I just need to know that I'm not just the only one that's supporting us. I feel like I'm, I'm the breadwinner.
He doesn't earn an income.
He, he did. We are both retired now. Um, he does not have any retirement. I'm 60. He's 64. Um, he took, uh, he took social security early. He was working at that time. And then, um, When you start taking Social Security, you can only work so many hours. You can only make so much money. So that knocked his availability down to where he really couldn't work very much.
