And usually the end of that sentence is a variation of "but I need him to pay my bills."
I see that in reddit over and over. They call it "financial abuse," on the mans part but it always comes down to she loves his money more than she hates him.

Anyway, it occurs to me that most people in the world look at the USA in the exact same way.
"I'd leave him, but..."
"I'd leave him, but..."
"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
"I'd leave him, but..."
Good thing they can take China's money instead. #Africa
It's not me, it's someone else.
