Single Dad Bachelor

SadFairy's picture

Has anyone been keeping up with the televised trainwreck? I can't bring myself to watch the show, but I was just curious if the issues we predicted had surfaced yet? Has BM been inappropriate and pissed any of the potential SMs off yet? Is he a nauseating Disney Dad?

Living Alone

I’ve exchanged a lack of peace, for loneliness. The loneliness isn’t unbearable, and nothing is worth going back to someone’s behavior making me miserable every day, but it does get to me. I miss being held. I miss my H’s sense of humor. I don’t miss the excuses for why I shouldn’t have a problem with bad behaviors, or unrealistic expectations of maternal feelings for a child I didn't raise, will never trust, and don't share values with.

Poop Etiquette

What is up with these skids and their lack of decency and common sense when it comes to their bodily functions?

To Those Dating or Engaged

If you are having doubts
Don’t disregard them

If one of the major components of your relationship has the potential to make you unhappy
It will

If you are anticipating the day when BM will change for the better
She won’t

If you think love will get you through this
It doesn’t

If you are hopeful that you will grow to feel differently about someone else’s child with time
You are a delusional person with good intentions

Maybe I'm Jaded But....

This is my take on this version of The Bachelor. I normally would never watch something like this, but it was on at the gym Dontcallmmom previously mentioned the guy this time around was a single dad so I was slightly curious about this potential train wreck.

What he said: Whenever I have to travel, the first thing I think of is my daughter.

What I heard: When I’m with my daughter, I fixate on her. When I’m not with my daughter, I fixate on her. Do not expect this to change once I have a partner. I will expect you to do the same.

Forgiveness, How?

Does anyone have any tips on how to “man up” and get past the damage that has been done to you either by Skid, DH, BM or all of the above? I have been able to let go a lot of resentment by sort of becoming anesthetized to my environment. It’s not a perfect solution, but it allows me to function and find enjoyment in the positive aspects of my life. Having a tremendous amount of love for my husband has also been a major contributor to overcoming my anger and disappointment.

Bathroom Rant

SadFairy's picture

As a woman, there are monthly activities that I perform in the bathroom that have the potential to, if I were an inconsiderate person become quite messy and horrific, maybe even resembling a crime scene. Yet, there is NEVER a trace of anything I do left in the bathroom once I’ve left.

So can someone please explain to me why males leave so much evidence of every activity they perform in the bathroom??? I could put together a step by step mind movie of exactly every disgusting thing that took place in that bathroom by the previous user.

Dating Etiquette Question For Bios

When you were a single parent and dating your potential partner, if you had custody of your child/children PT but desired to have full custody, did you disclose this information? I’m not here to judge if you didn’t, I’m more curious about the psychology behind it. We are anonymous here, so it’s okay to be honest.

This seems to be a pretty consistent issue that comes up here with Steps who have their kids FT. They entered the situation with a parent who had custody PT, committed to the relationship, then found themselves FT stepparents.
