Marriage Ends… But the Payments Don’t.

Live in New York on Tonight’s Conversation, the panel debates whether financial support entitles men to sex, pushing back on transactional expectations with jokes about cheap dinners versus expensive meals while stressing that nobody is entitled to anyone’s body. A caller questions why women initiate most divorces yet men may pay support, prompting discussion distinguishing child support from alimony, alimony’s historical roots, and when it’s appropriate (including the idea that cheating could obligate alimony), alongside the view that husbands owe protection, safety, and showing up. The episode then shifts to a woman describing a 13-year on-and-off relationship where her partner took in his evicted child’s mother and son and then ghosted her; the panel frames the silence as closure, urges healing and self-respect, and warns against being a fallback option.
