When I met my husband to be (we're now divorced), I worked in a gas station - boring! So ... after we'd been living together for a while, I had a talk with my mother and we agreed that I should try for a baby without telling him. I got pregnant but he didn't speak to me for a week when I told him! That was not nice for me. Anyway, few months later we got married. This was 17 years ago and I haven't had a job since. Now got two kids, both teenagers. Am I selfish to want to pursue my hobbies (I paint and sew) rather than work - he has to pay me alimony and I make sure I get as much money out of him as I can. He says he can't afford 1000 euros a month, which is what he has to pay, but I don't see why I should have to get a job when I have the court order in my favour. I also made sure I got half the value of the house when we split up (but I've spent all that now). I have a lot of interests so I have no time to work anyway.
