My DW & adult SKs went on a cross-county vacation without me and I was not invited. Our 2.5 year marriage has been on the rocks mainly due to her entitled BKs in their early & late 20's. The SKs have never been made to respect our marriage, which supposed to be our union as one on both fronts - two people now one & two families now one. I think because DW doesn't & don't make them.

Do Any of You Go On Separate Vacations With Adult Bio Kids Without Childless Spouse?

Hi. I am just curious if any of you go on vacations with your adult children without your spouse who has no children? My marriage is already strained because the adult SKs and I don't get along. My spouse says I bring drama & judgment causing them to walk on eggshells, which is why they don't want to be around me even on joint vacations or outtings. I say, they get away with disrespect, which is never called out towards me but I am told they give me what I give them. Also, I tell her that she treates like babies as she still washes their clothes, pays their bills and cleans after them.

Approaching 14 Months in Second Marriage & Grown Step Kids Are Moving Out - Spouse Is Acting Weird

While I was with my former spouse for seven years, I had two step kids who I co-raised during their teenage years and was their primary provider. In my current marriage, I have two grown step kids - early and late 20's - who live with us and my spouse feels I don't do 1/10 for them like I did my previous step kids. I say it is because they're grown and she does everything for them. My spouse says I do not understand because I have no bio kids. They discuss everything without me like their moving out.
