Steph has a right to be angry and call him a knob head.She is angry for allowing it to go on.
I am glad she has put herself first as I did and got out.”
I feel great sympathy for what you endured and we'll done on getting it out - it must have been very hard and taken great strength and courage.
If Stephanie has been in the same situation, she also has my sympathy and i wish her every luck.
But i feel I must point out that these are only allegations (and not even directly from Stephanie) and might not be true. Of that is the case then Sam is being done a great disservice.
Given how successful at a young age stephanie has been, she is likely to have been earning a good salary, probably more than him in which case it is more than possible she did used to pay for a lot of things. If he took advantage of that, spent extravagantly and expected her to foot the bill then he was freeloading. But if he was willing to pay for more modest meals / holidays but stephanie preferred to go to swankier places, more in keeping with her level of fame, then it isn't really his fault that he couldn't afford it so she had to pay.
I'm just saying this vbecause I earnt more than my Husband the first couple of years we were together as he was still taking professional exams and i paid for nearly everything, mortgage, meals out etc. But once qualified, his salary trebled so he was earning much more than me at which point he took olver the majority of our financial commitments.
So sometimes in a relationship, it is swings and roundabouts and somebody paying for most things doesn't actually automatically mean the other is taking advantage, just that it is the current financial situation that they are better off so if you want to do nice things, one has to foot the bill for the other.
We really don't know what the truth of the situation is, only they do.
