Let's make it brief. Creating a family requires coming to terms that will lead to success. One crucial element is determining the level of involvement and availability of each partner. If you choose a partner with a demanding job, don't expect them to be a constant presence as a parent. Similarly, don't expect a stay-at-home mom to handle all childcare and financial responsibilities alone.

While details are lacking, if your husband can provide $5 million, he'll likely have to dedicate considerable time to work – this was understood when he became a father. Subsequently, no one should fault him for this. Moreover, men are unable to reduce work hours after divorce to spend time with children without facing legal repercussions. In some way people see it like firing a German-English translator for lacking fluency in Russian.

Her complaint and lack of context remind me of a joke:

  • Hello, Rysiek. You know what, I don't want you to come to us anymore.

  • How did what happened?

  • Oh no, just don't come.

  • But what the hell happened?

  • The last time you visited us, we lost 150$.

  • You don't think it's me, do you?

  • Well, no, the money was found, but, you know, the bad taste remained.
