Honestly people who paid alimony to their spouses were married ten years or more. I never heard of less than that. I was just warning you if you do stay long time and then decide it’s not working. You wouldn’t be paying nothing now

Didn’t he receive monetary settlement from his ex wife? She was making much more than him

If he makes decent living, then you need to stop paying for more than a half. You aren’t sugar mamma. And things shouldn’t go on your credit. He needs to save up and buy what he thinks he needs. Up front. Within his means. Not $300 pants and not $3000 couch. You put extra money in to your savings and perhaps do post nuptial that he can’t touch your retirement plan in case of a divorce.

And if he continues demanding to live above his means, as soon as he can get a credit card he’ll have a debt again because he didn’t learn his lesson. He needs to readjust his life style. There is some stuff on the Internet about living after bankruptsy because many people have second bankruptsy. They never change how they live. He must read up on that
