For his daughter's sake as far as I can tell.
That would of course mean that putting his daughter ahead of himself required the $50 payout no?
And to refuse to pay it... would conversely be putting his needs ahead of his daughters.
(his need was the need to not be taken advantage of by the ex... therefore selfish as in thinking about self)
Jag I hope you're joking (or at least over-generalizing)...otherwise it sounds like you've had mostly terrible experiences w/the men in your life
I'll let you know when i figure out if I'm joking, at least over-generalizing, or simply facing a horrible truth.
Just commenting on what I see going on all around me in male / female relationships.
Personally, I've great wonderful experiences, as well as not so pleasant experiences with the same person.
Mostly I've had wonderful experiences with men, ...but there is a challenge in that in some relationships I've experienced the highest highs in certain areas, and very unpleasant lows in others. That's why polygamy appeals so much
When they figure out how to morph them into one, polygamy won't hold it's appeal, ...but until then... it's certainly a pragmatic approach no?
