Well, I finally got the nerve to tell him.

I basically took everyones advice and put it together. Friday night when I got home from school we had afew beers (his for pleasure mine for courage) I told him that I was sorry I hadn't shown him the letter sooner but that he needed to read it. I had this whole speech prepared about how I support what ever decided to do, and unconditional love etc. etc. But he never said a word. Just went into the guest room and locked it... And stayed there all night. Sat. morning he was up at 7am makeing breakfast. Acting like bussiness as usual. I didn't bring it up all weekend.

Child Support Allocation

Frustrated Father's picture

Any one fight that child support $ is being used to purchase a martial asset of the custodial parent and their new spouse? My thought is that if any of the CS $ is being utilized to pay interest on a mortgage and is used to pay for property taxes then the paying non-custodial parent should be able to claim those expenses on my taxes. Yes/no. Any input would be appreciated.

Is BM still not over your BF/FH/DH? Especially 3 years AFTER their divorce??

I need your help, ladies (and from the guys, too please!). Also, if any ladies on here are both BM's & SM's, please chime in also.

Despite the fact that BF & I have been together for over 6 years (living together for 2), there have been some inappropriate comments made by BM (my BF's ex-wife) to the skids (SD15 & SS12) that, LUCKY FOR ME, skids have actually been telling BF & I about!

Soooo confused - Obsessed with his daughter!

SC's picture

I've been rethinking my relationship with my fiance lately, but I'm just really confused. He is so kind and intelligent and I enjoy being around him. The problem is his obsession with his 6 year old daughter. This morning, we were making love as six (count 'em SIX) photos of his daughter stared straight back at me. He has eight photos of her in his bedroom alone.

Hi there, thanks for the comments. Now, I don't want to sound too negative about Z here. Essentially, Z's a good kid -deep down. I was a bit flustered when i wrote my intro. Hes been away because he didnt come home one night last week, and then came home drunk the next, then called his mom a 'stuck up bitch' because she wouldnt let him instantly go out and hang with his friends the next day,,so we offered him a chance to catch up with his grandmother in chch. Hes comnig back on wednesday. I've....i'm gonna buy a pair of earplugs and pray that everything goes smooth.

Married for only four months and I am on the verge of hating my stepson

Boomer_Sooner's picture

Let me just start from the beginning. My husband and I were friends for two years and dated seriously for a year before we got married. During this time he live five hours (out of state) away from his son and the biological mom. He would see his son for about two weeks in the summer, one week at Christmas time, and then about one weekend a month. My hubby and I didn't live together until we were married so during these visitations I was only around during the day and not too often since I worked full time.

newly married how to deal with grown step daughter

malley's picture

Hi Im new here. Have seen allot of interesting post. Here is my
problem. My husband is awesome would take on king kong when it comes to me. All except his grown daughter. She's 25 and married. He has been divorced for 5 years from her mother. His daughter is
very immature. She's a constant little drama queen. Everytime her
mother does anything that she doesnt like shes calling her dad to let him know. Everytime Im around her she brings her mother up.

Why me?!

I thought this was suppose to be the best time of my life, but it's turning out to be my worst! Two step-daughters that hate my guts! Posting pictures of the newly divorced "Mummy", as they call her, on their facebook pages. By the way, none of me or their "Daddy", as they call him.

Men are so clueless!

My in-laws live 5 minutes away. We have them over for dinner every few weeks. Or should I say DH invites them to dinner...

I've asked him a million times to check with me first before inviting them. It's not a cooking thing- he does most of the cooking. But it's a time and space thing... When they come, he wants to make a mad dash to clean the house, and then they stay forever. We have dinner, then they want to linger over coffee during desert.

"Human" response?

I'm always nagging at DH that even though BM is psycho, he should at least try to treat her with human decency... I have always intervened for him in the past, and have spent the last 11 years being the go between for the two of them, as I knew it was best for the skids. AS their custodial SM, it just made things easier on me if I knew what was going on...
