Granted the divorce $ paid for a huge chunk of my car but
If he hadn't screwed my parents out of $$ for a wedding just to dupe family and friends out money I'd have just used that money for my car instead. So....technically....he just paid me back that wedding money...with a nice bit of interest LOL!!

I actually paid for almost everything in my marriage - he paid for the house (it was his before we met anyway - and I wouldn't have gotten jack for having paid for it during the divorce so glad I didn't pay there) and the bills (ok, SOME of them - the others he slacked on and sht would get turned off "mysteriously") and I paid for all our food, going out, gave him money for gas and etc....(the ETC most likely being his girlfriend...
)
I never expected him to pay for anything for me b/c he never did....and now I'm self sufficient enough to not expect a man to buy me things. Sure, it would be nice, but it doesn't bother me if he can't or won't. I have a job and can pay my own bills
Plus, there's a LOT less bitching when I bring home shoes if I pay for them myself
