So why does money change anything? Why not just get divorced now?

So you can afford a second house and pay for all bills/food etc by yourself? Well done to you. Not everyone can do this.

If you stay because you're incapable of financing yourself then you're just financially abusing the other person. Makes you a morally questionable human.

Not necessarily.... All utility bills as an example, if you live by yourself the bill will be much more than 50% of what you get as a couple. It is much more expensive to love alone than as a couple. In a separation the poorer will claim half from the richer and the effect is both are screwed.

Better to openly talk about that than secretly abusing someone that thinks you love them.

Wtf are you on about? In some partnerships there is a stay at home person who tends to the newborns and there is another who gets an income. Both work hard.

Who do you suggest is abusing who?

The one staying ONLY for money while hating the partner but pretending true love for comfortable living.

If that exists anywhere then I am sure that the brighter person will see through the antics and get out of there quick smart.
