Nob head ex is now a full time student, this means he'll no longer pay any maintenance. And all extra childcare expenses/organisation will fall to me.
What an absolute cock he is.
I'd very much like to shout this from the rooftops but obviously can't so I'll just put it here and hope some people can sympathise
I know there's nothing I can do but for fucks sake

It's not so much the money, as I'll manage somehow. It's the principle of it , he's made this decision and this somehow means the children will cost less? And he's more than happy to no longer contribute

Is he likely to end up with a better paid job afterwards? Clutching at straws a bit but it's always good to have some hope I think!

My ex is the same. Also blithely told me that he plans postgrad courses too

He will have a better job at the end, but by the time he's finished the masters & PhD on top of the undergraduate course he's on now the DC will likely be in uni themselves.

I feel like I'm subsidising his career against my will.

Exactly bippity! What an absolute tosser, I'm a ful time student too but also work. I wonder if I can also opt out of paying for my children.
You're right bellemere, he's tried to sell it to me as benefiting all of us when he's done but he was very financially abusive when I was with him, it's really riled me that once again he is attempting to control me via money.
Would it kill him to offer even a fiver a week?
I know I'm whinging on about this a bit, it's to stop me doing it in real life Grin
