They have seven kids now;
he realizes they overextended.
He’s fairly monied, but he knows
he’s screwed if she leaves him.
He knows he won’t be able to afford all
the child support and the alimony.
So he stays with her although
he’s miserable and trapped.
She knows she has the upper hand
in their loveless marriage if they divorce.
She stays with him because even though
she’ll be financially set if she leaves him,
she feels no other man will want her
divorced and with seven kids.
Bob Boyd
