O/T, but how do you deal with female friends of your SO?

sm27's picture

My SO, as most of you know is a little older than me, 15 years to be exact. I already know that because of the age difference, we will have a certain dynamic. For example, sometimes, I find myself resenting the fact that he had a past before me; including BM, and certain friends and life experiences. Well, we have been together for 9 years, going on 10 this year, and maybe about 2 years into the relationship, SO told me that he used to have a really close female friend. They used to be so close that they used to sleep in the same bed.

Catch Flies With Honey

I have snooped more than once at the texts between DH and BM. And the stuff I saw usually irritated me tremendously, leading to arguments with DH who pretty much defended his behavior and excused BM's behavior. BM gives orders rather than asks politely and it really irks me to see her order my husband around like if he's her puppet. DH has reached the point of not answering her, but she still sends the orders.

Do I apologize to SS for MY part of the mess that happened last weekend?

My SS11 (along with our BS -- 2yo & 4yo) witnessed all 4 of us adults --- BF, me, BM & her SO get in a heated verbal fight when they picked him up last week end. It ended with my DH, our kids and me walking away, after SO threatened to "knock" us both out ---

Outsider in my own house

I'm new here and have been reading everyone's blogs for the past couple of weeks - it's so nice to know that there are other people out there that share these experiences. Honestly, if I had found this website when I first met my BF, I think I would have fun for the hills right then and there (and would never regret it).

better every day...now there's a 15yr old in 8th grade, who has now failed 8th grade due to attendance and not doing work, who is preggo w/no baby daddy in sight? Oh BM, you did a good one...

Dividing up estate if DH dies

CityGirl's picture

A little over a week ago my DH and I got into a discussion about a will. He currently does not have one and I feel it is important to have especially when you have children. Anyway in the course of the discussion he told me that he will get a will and everything including the house will be divided into thirds. I will get one third SD9 will get 1/3 and SS12 will get 1/3. I asked is that how your dad has it set up to be divided equally amoung you and your siblings and mother? He goes that is different mom will not screw us out of what is ours.

OT- Toddler biting nails habit

Gia's picture

My 2 1/2 year old boy has the really bad habit of biting his nails. Both fingernails and Toenails. It is so gross, and his fingers and toes now look ridiculously painful and ugly, but he keeps doing it.

Any thoughts on how to make that stop, any sort of nail polish that is bitter and will prevent him from biting? any ideas?
