Chev......who knows what his motivation might be? But, for the record, I'll add my two cents, here...lol....
My spidey sence makes me wonder if his new wife might have a finger in this....? I've seen it happen.....
If so, that could come from several motivations on her part...
Maybe, she is the type to try to change him....to what she wants....
Maybe trying to change him into superdad, for some reason....
The list of potential motivations is long...
I do know that some new wives resent the child support payments...because they feel that it is money that should be feathering their new nest....
I have, also, seen some new wives strive to be the end all to the new husband, and feel invaluable to him...…
Really, I am just guessing....
