What would you do with a husband who is getting critical surgery and in order to prepare for all possibilities

Respect his wishes. He's just trying to take care of all of you the best he knows how.

Leave it be. He is just realizing his true mortality. As for the other kids, you need to stop being so petty over it. They were in his live before you and they will still be his daughters if you leave. Nothing can change that. Just be supportive and enjoy the time that you have with him while you still do. If something happens and he don't make it, then the last thought that would be on your mind is the mental fight that you had, and not that you said that you loved him, and the time that you shared. Worry more about that then the money. It is only money. You still get half, and that is better than nothing. You can survive off of that. But can you survive if you knew that your attitude over the money might have ruined the chances for the last few moments over pure happiness that you could have shared with him?

Bite your tongue for even thinking of harming him. You chose to stay with the man for 7 years, now accept what he wishes and put yourself above such thoughts. If he recovers from his surgery, divorce him, if your lucky and have a good lawyer, you'll get all the house and the kids plus child support. You may have to pay the mortgage from now on though, but you will have peace of mind and freedom from abuse.

HA!

Step away from the oxygen.

This falls under the category of: live and learn.

Maybe his daughters are the smart ones here-- they extricated themselves from a toxic relationship with him.

Let it go. You can't change anything about him-- but you might start thinking about whether you want to live the rest of your life feeling as angry as you are.

It's like drinking poison... and hoping he gets sick.

No, I think you should think about this a bit more. He has other children and you knew that when you married him. Regardless of how often they are in contact, he obviously loves them and has accepted responsibility for them as his children. He sounds like a good man to me.

You money hungry gold digger! You didn't have to be with him for 7 years. Get a job you loser!!!

Consider yourself a lucky ***** for getting the half, if you press things you will remain with ....memories

Get his will, the original and all copies of it and use it for scrap paper. When you're done with it, burn it.

Or not. Maybe he's so fed up with you guys, that he doesn't think you deserve it. In the end, its his choice. Deal with it.

he can do what he wants but if he lives through this, you ought to think twice about your relationship...good luck
