How do I cope with being financially dependent on my partner?

Question - (15 September 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 16 September 2010)
A female South Africa age 30-35, anonymous writes:

"OP Own Title" I am 7 months pregnant, my boyfriend and I live together and I also work for him. He owns a bar, pub, whatever you want to call it. I get a great salary and am used to being co-dependant on him. Our relationship is great, and just keeps getting better. The thing is, after the baby is born, he doesnt want me to come back to work, which is understandable since its long hours and at night, hence no one to babysit. My question is, how can I cope with being fully financially dependant on him? At some stage I know I will get a day job, but it wont be for awhile. Is there any way for me to learn with coping with the change in situation?

Don't know how it is in your country but if you don't have a friend or a relative to watch your child while you're at work in America you're shelling out $800 a month for your child to attend day care. That's not even mentioning the medical bills that will amount from your child getting sick from the other children. So just relax and embrace motherhood you will be way too busy to think about getting a job.
