Bm1 is beginning to act like a right bitch! Hurting ss to hurt my dh

Starryeyed's picture

I have always had an ok relationship with bm1 in that we limit contact with each other but when we are in each other's presence we are respectful and polite. But since we have had our babies (4 days apart - my first with dh and her second with her current partner) she has ramped up the crazy but the only person it affects is my ss13.

Resentful of dh

I have always found dh baggage a lot to handle. Two skids by two different women. Quick recap: dh does not see sd7 because her Bm is toxic and moved countries. He does however send extra money every month with cs out of guilt. This has always annoyed me as bm2 stopped dh from seeing his dd. And as I've said before unmarried fathers have little rights here. Anyway we have ss13 every weekend. Overall he is a good child. More so now that he is growing up he is becoming less babyish and therefore easier to be around( this is the child who still held dh hand in public aged 12).

If you want ss to have one then you will have to do it dh!

It started off with a little Christmas decoration to put on the tree. It is my baby's first Christmas and wanted to get something cute to mark it. I thought ss13 might feel a little left out so I also ordered him one. Next was Christmas jammies... It was always Christmas tradition to have new jammies on Christmas. So dh mentions ss will need a pair too. Then I wanted to get my little one a Christmas stocking with some teething products in it etc. I got a cheap one with his name embroidered on it.

I feel like I've ruined my Dhs life...

I don't know if it's just hormones because I just had a baby 5 weeks ago but I found myself crying while doing a night feed at 5am last night because I feel like I could have potentially ruined my ohs life. My oh has a bit of a reckless history, had a son at the age of 19 which was the result of sleeping with bm1 the first night. Also has a daughter aged 6 from bm2 after 4 months of dating but has never been involved in her life as bm2 left the country and unmarried fathers essentially have no rights to their kids despite trying to take her to court when sd was born.

Using name dh and bm2 "discussed" once upon a time....

Just wondering what y'all's opinion would be on naming my baby boy a name that was mentioned when bm2 was pregnant. As it turned out, she had a daughter and my dh had no input as they had split up by the time sd6 was born and bm just named her herself. Anyway there's a name I absolutely love. However dh felt he had to tell me that it had briefly been thrown into the mix while him and bm2 were still together (very early stages of pregnancy". I asked did you discuss it or was it actually just mentioned briefly, he said briefly.

Ss coming on holiday.. So disappointed

It will be last (and only holiday) before baby is due. Bil has hired a boat in France for 3 days. Me and dh are going basically to bring and babysit elderly fil who has early onset dementia and is hard work at the moment. I only agreed to holiday because I wanted fil to get away in the sun for a few days and without us he would not have been able to travel alone (bil and his wife are staying for longer). I will be over 7 months pregnant at this stage.

Money issues - feeling like I hate my hubby right now

I am 5 months pregnant. Our country is very much in financial recession and despite the fact that myself and Dh are working full time and in roles which carry a lot of responsibility there is very little money left over after bills are paid. Actually mostly my entire wages go on my expenses and I have about 150 a month spending left over before food bills/gas etc are paid. Times are tough here and it's a common situation for most unfortunately. An area of contention is money at the mo. We really do love month to month with no savings. Dh earns more than I.
