My husband and I have been together for 8 years and only married these last 2 months. For the first 4 years,He lived with me while he went to school. I took care of his kids also when they were visiting with him.I paid all the bills and did all the house work and the yard work. I made pretty good money. The opportunity came up after he graduated for us to move into his grand parents house that had passed away. At the time his kids lived with their mother. The mother then decided to move to another state to marry her boyfriend.
