I married my husband for money and now he wants to have kids.

Problem: My French husband and I have a seemingly perfect marriage. He whisked me off to Monaco last year where we live in a beautiful house overlooking The Mediterranean. We have lots of friends, I spend most of the day on a private beach and he recently bought me a new sports car.

The only problem is that he desperately wants to have several children and I don’t want any - as I only really married him for his money in the first place. What should I do? Have his children or tell him the truth which would mean the end of our marriage and me having to go back to being a waitress in Las Vegas?

Francis' Solution: However dreamy your marriage in Monaco sounds, it is nothing more than a ‘marriage made in tax-haven’ than ‘heaven’. You have to ask yourself how long you can deny him children AND deny the fact that your marriage is a sham – albeit in nice surroundings! Unless he is actually physically blinded by his love for you he will eventually realise that you only married him for his money. Your reluctance to give him children will only accelerate this and your return to serving coffee in Las Vegas.
