So I met this man a while back, and I am so in love with him. HE is the funniest, smartest, and sexiest man I have ever met. HE is a little younger then I am, actually 7 years my junior. I cant ever imagine being with anyone else, he is simply amazing. Through two forms of birth control, we have managed to get pregnant. He guessed before I even told him, and has celebrated every single moment since then. I cant have asked for a better partner in this thean him. I have two child from my previous marriage, so I have been to this rodeo before. I cant possibly have asked for any more. Now enter the problems, and maybe someone has something they can offer, I am open to anything at all, I am at the ends of my rope. Well first off, he is married to someone else, and they are in the middle of a divorce. It is just ridiculous, they have nothing, and are not fighting, they just arent getting divorced. She has an attorney, and he is so sacred to rock the boat on anything it worries me. I am scraping by on barely health coverage, and paying everything else out of packet, and I have run into some problems in this pregnany so far(I found out I have cervical cancer, and I have MS, and have been on bed rest through most of it thus far), and she carried the wonderful health coverage his job offers. I scrape by working when I can, and she goes to court and lies about child care expenses, and not takes a third of his income for child support, though the kid goes to welfare school, and is in daycare 6 days a week. To top it all off, what I didnt fully understand is that my dear man is a disfellowed Jehovahs witness, and his dear wife is a good meeting attending angle. So now, everything we do, we have to hide from the child they share in common for fear that she sees that we are attending a church that is not approved by her, we cant talk to his child about for fear that he will go home and tell mommy. The child comes filled with how I am taking his dad to hell with me, because he doesnt go to meetings anymore with mommy. I just drove around to two different urgent cares, in two different ends of the county, and ended up going to the ER to see the doc, because I carry crappy insurance, when the wife can anywhere she likes and freely uses her insurance to get massages and chiro care. And quite frankly I am ANGRY. I have started to vent at my boyfriend, who tells me on the daily basis that he wants to marry me as soon as the divorce is done, well quite frankly they are never going to be divorced. IT is such a load of bull manure, and I am not sure what else I need to do. I am tired, and angry, and it is not getting any better. I fell in love with the man, but done really want all of this bull manure that goes with it.

Wow, what a complicated situation. I think if he had a definite date for the divorce I could deal with it. Do they even have a definite date with the attorney? Also, he can drop her from his insurance at any time. You know no matter what he does, he's gonna piss her off. He needs to face this, so if he doesn't want to lose you he better start getting used to pissing her off now. How long have they been separated? any judge will see that he has another family to take care of now, you and baby, and that he needed to get her off his insurance and add you on.
Please please take care of yourself, it sounds like you have some health issues that are out of the norm. And please ask him for help in taking care of you and the baby. I hope everything will be ok.

No there is a trial date, but why? They have nothing at all. He had a date to drop her from his coverage, and he chose not to. He diesnt want to rock the boat, so here I sit. The only time he does anything to further the divorce is when I do it, fill out the paperwork, find the paperwork, print it, and mail it myself. HE says he is not smart enough to work through it, but he is bright and able, he chooses not to. And I am not sure what I should see in that? :? He does everything in his power to take care of me, in the manner of actually doing things, but is not understanding that I have to work, and sometimes it is not as kind and gentle as he would like it to be, I am a horse trainer. I just dont get it. When I got divorced, I wanted it done, and it took months, they have been doing this now for almost a year?

Yowch. I hate to say this since there is a babe on the way and all, but it sounds like he's not willing to completely seperate from her (besides the child of course). He needs to take initiative and remove her from his insurance and get this divorce over with. If he doesn't, I think it's time to run for the hills. I know you love him and he is amazing to you, but if he isn't willing to part with this woman, you will forever be in her shadow. This is a messy situation. Sit him down and talk to him, tell him what you've told us and if you ask him to take her off the insurance, and 4 weeks down the road she is STILL THERE, take off and tell him to let you know when he's ready to cut the leash from her.

you know the really silly thing is that he just doesnt see the insurance thing as an issue. I do. I see it as an example of his loyality.

Tell him that! Sit him down, just the two of you, no distractions and tell him how you feel about all this. Tell him you'd love to be a family but you are not into polygamy and unless he cuts off his first wife, you will never marry him.

I agree with Fading, assert yourself. Believe me he WILL get the picture when you start to pack a bag. Take yourself more seriously and he will too.

WE have had the conversationmany many MANY times, and it just doesn gomuch of anywhere. In the last day, I actually sawhim makesome attempt to get the divorce to move foward. HE actually called her attorney for the first time I have seen, and had a long talk with his wife lastnight. This stuff really just goes in spurts. He does a few things and it moves foward for a few minutes, then it stops dead in its tracks. Now he wants to hire an attorney, whichis really the right thing to do, but it justmeans more work hurs fo me, and more for me to manage. I am already doing most of everything on my wn. I have not asked him for dime to cover any of he expenses thus fr, and thank goodness I got put on state disabilty and that kicked me into state heath care or thatwold have just been something ese for m to cover. WE ae buying a new house, or correction I am buyin a new house, and stress over all the financial strain that his family causes us, or more rather me. We did talk lastnight and we will see where it goes from there. I can do the baby thing alone, it doest bother me fr a second, but I love him, I mean rally love hi. I just think he expects me to be around to help clean up the mess and just to accept it all as it comes, and I will admit it is harder and harder all the time.
