My husband and I have been married for 37 years. I have a son from my previous marriage, he as 2 daughters and 1 son from his previous marriage. My husband told me straight up that he has children he is financially responsible for and that he will most likely never be able to support me (and my son) financially. I told him I am not interested in financial support and that I would take care of myself and my son.

We also decided to not have any children together and I had my tubes tied at the age of 28.
