    Nope, cos it would not have affected her.

    All my wages were paid into her sole bank account. She had savings in her name only. My life was insured fully and she was the sole beneficiary.

    At that time we lived in a council house which she took on as a sole tenant.

    Yes we tried to cover every eventuality, everybody does don't they when you have the mother of your children at home with them and totally reliant on one income?

    No she wouldn't be called a scrounger, she had all the assets in her name with no debt. All of the debt we had was in my name soley! It was planned that way for her security. Legally, I didn't have a pot to p**s in!


    Do you live in a bubble? No, not everyone tries to cover every eventuality for the offchance they run off with the barmaid. Some men actually do run off, without making adequate provision for their former spouse and children.
    All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.
