Divorce rate?

cat1964's picture

I read somewhere, the divorce rate among second marriages/relationships where the man has daughter(s) and new wife/woman becomes a step-mother is somewhere around 80%, I told this to my SO and he said "what is it for second marriages/relationships where man has daughter(s) and the new wife/woman becomes a step-mother and has no children of her own". He seems to think it is higher; basically, because I have had no children, that is the problem we are having.

My 2 StepHorrors

My husband and have been married for 3 months and have been together for nearly 8 years. We are very happy together and love each other desperately.
Now for the bad bit!
I don't have any children myself but my husband has 2 daughters aged 24 and 22.
I met them for the first time as I say nearly 8 years ago (they were 16 and 14 then)and unfortunately they hated me on sight.

Well, i gave him the ultimatum. My way or the highway.

I will not come second to BMs anymore.

I will not come second to SKids anymore.

I will not have my DH planning my life with his ex and then including me in whatever decisions they have made.

I will not be disrespected by BMs or SKids and be told I'm not allowed to say anything.

DH will stand up for me at all times.

I will stand up for myself at all times.

He nor I will allow myself to be a doormat to anyone esp DH.

He will tell BMs the truth about all I do for SKids and stop taking ny credit just bc he doesn't want to upset them.

Egged truck. SKIDS involved!

Although my DH's kids are PAS'd out, we still get the fun "treats" from them. Last night it was egging our truck, I KNOW it was them...no other vehicles in our neighborhood were egged. Just like when our license plates were stolen. I called the cops on the license plates... when I told the local police officer who I thought did it, wouldn't you know, he knew DH's daughter and not in a good way. They investigated, and sure enough it was her, her cousin, and her friends. Soo, another gift to us from the Spawns of Medusa. I wish they would all fall off the ends of the earth!

Small Vent

So my SD just post this on FB as her status, from her cell phone:

"I hate when someone acts like my mom. I have a mom I dont need another one(:"

DH had to go help a friend move some stuff. I have 5 kids to deal with here and 3 aren't mine. SD is now a teenager, but she's acting like a 5 year old. IT has officially begun. I could very well tell her that I hate when someone acts like my baby. I have two babies, I don't need another one. Smile

ugh...

We have my SS4 biweekly. It has been this way for over half his life. My DH does most of the driving during the exchanges that happen on Sun. because we chose to move 2 hours a way from the city we, including BM, were all living in.

Need some opinions

Jwoo83's picture

My boyfriend and I have been talking seriously about getting married lately. I was wondering what others opinions were on handling BM, drop off/pick ups of SKids? Here is what I've told him. 1)I don't see any reason why she would ever need my personal cell number. He and I discuss our plans and what needs to be done and then he can communicate our decisions to her. Her having my number would only give her a way to harass me. Which she would until I changed my number.

My first rant here!

Thank goodness I found this page or I'm afraid I'd go insane! This may be more of a ramble than anything but at least it'll help me get it all out. Here goes... This past week, my boyfriend texts me asking what my address is. I tell him and he says omg, BM is looking at a house right by you! Turns out, this house is across the road and 2 houses north of me.
