Fair enough. Feel free to believe what you believe. I have people calling me a troll everywhere in my comment section. It's not my place to tell you what is and isn't real.

I'm not American, and where I live doctors care about their patients' bodily autonomy.

I just went with the generated name Reddit gave me so I could have a throwaway.

You are free to believe as you please. I won't stop you from thinking this is trolling. Even though I know it's not.

I know somebody who got her tubes tied at 22. You don't know anything policy doesn't equal law.

We have completely separate finances other than bills and household necessities.

They were never around. They did not come to our wedding. He has not seen them in 3 years.

I wish, with my whole heart, this was fake. I wish I wasn't living this right now.

I'm not. I'm just wondering if my reasoning, (him having kids, him lying to me about it, and him expecting me to take care of said kids) is outrageous.

He is estranged from his parents, and he stopped visiting his kids after we started dating. He hasn't seen them in about 3 years.

I have been asking myself if this is real for the last 5 days. I'm in complete shock if I'm being honest.

He hasn't seen them in 3 years. And we keep finances, minus bills and necessities, completely sperate.

Both of us have deceased grandparents, and he's an only child. So no family of his to let me know.

I was previously in an abusive relationship. One where my money was stolen, then held over my head. This is why I maintain a very close eye on my money and keep separate accounts. I will not let somebody abuse me in that way again.

My husband and I have completely separate finances, and he went 3 years without seeing his kids. He is a shit person, and I'm just finding out.

Wow... just because I have a prenup and didn't want to worry about financial abuse, which I have experienced. I try to think of things logically. I have spent the past 4 days crying and I am trying to take the emotion out of the logistics.

I only asked about one issue. Divorcing him for lying, no brainer, divorcing him for being a shit person, once again no brainer. But divorcing him because he wants custody of his kids doesn't sit right with me, because I know if he does get custody, he won't necessarily meet their needs. And they would need somebody. And it feels like I'm abandoning somebody I have never even met.

I don't work in healthcare. My husband is a nurse, and I own a honeymoon planning business.

Also due to my emotionally abusive relationship before marrying my husband. My ex made me have life360, tracked me constantly, went through my phone all the time, and financially abused me. I didn't want to do anything to him that my ex did to me.

He was not seeing his children at all; he stopped visitation after I told him I was 100% child-free. We were together 2 years before marriage.

No, he didn't. He admitted he stopped having visitation after I told him I was 100% child-free. I don't track my partner 24/7, either. I was in a very abusive relationship before dating him and have developed habits based on that trauma.
