Do u n ur significant other see opposing sides?

Manda's picture

FH and I had a HUGE argument on Saturday night. He screamed at me like never before. We haven't talked about it until tonight and I'm really thinking that it didn't do much good...I just feel worse about myself and really second guessing myself... I really don't know where we stand right now... I tried to get some liquid courage truth out of him to tonight but got mostly crap about politics...(we don't have the same views)... I didn't argue with him because he was drunk but it bothers me that he can only see one side and not take in my side with an open view...

The things "my wifes" EX does when I am not around...

So the EX drops off his BS8 to my wife tonight. I am out with my bio son at practice.
And he gets ticked off at my wife tonight because last night, when he dropped off son, I answered the door and greeted him and his son (My now ss)and said, "Hey how's it going." to the EX, he just grunts and kisses his son goodbye. I say, See you later... And he mumbles something as he walks away.

I know what I must do - but I need to hear others say it...

So my boyfriend of 1 year is a SD - children ages 11 (boy) and 13 (girl). He and I have a lot in common - he's a good guy but here goes the drama...he's been divorced for almost 7 years, it was a bitter divorce so he and his ex do not speak. He has 50% custody and his schedule with the kids is EVERY OTHER DAY. His only free night is Friday and Sunday afternoons - any time between 3 and 5. He created the schedule so he can see his kids everyday. He is a great devoted father - but I don't feel there has been much time for me and to nurture our relationship.

KeepTrying's picture

1. When my step father is on his death bed, i'm going to go stand at his bedside and pray outloud that he goes to hell, God gave me my sense of humor...I think he'll forgive me. - (SF was physically abusive)

2. I love all dogs...I wish everyone else could accept my jumping, yapping, fuzzy kids - I never mind if your dog slobbers on or scratches me.

3. I love wine too much. Haven't had any in 2 months because i'm on a diet.

3. I refuse to wear yellow gold jewelry, never have liked it, I only wear white gold or silver

Sole custody by BM + passive DD = disapointed and frustrated SM to be

Arg!
So DD and I are planning to get married out of the country this April and have been planning to take SD 15 and SD10. Tickets have been bought, rooms reserved only one problem. BM has sole custody and needs to give us written permission which we have been asking her to do for about 3 months.
BM and kids do not know about our wedding plans; this has been billed as a family vacation. In fact I have not been properly proposed to because of her non-reply. We feel once she finds out relations will get worse (if that is possible).

How is this MY FAULT!!

Ok, in my last blog entry I mentioned how the SS7 and SD6 woke up Friday night at 2am and picked up and called BM crying because they missed her so much. This crying BS is new... they have been staying every other weekend with us for a year we have never dealt with this crying problem before.

BF was at work. It's month end and to avoid having to go in over the weekend, and taking time away from his time with the kids, he went in to work at 10pm - 2am after the kids were asleep. At 11pm I checked on the kids and saw they were sound asleep and went to sleep myself.

Conversations with SD - 15 - AKA CRAZY LAND

KeepTrying's picture

Me: (in a whisper as we walk into the mall)"honey, you need to rub your makeup in a little on this side, you have a little line"

SD: Oh, ok...thanks...

Me: "I didn't hurt your feelings did I?" (very sincerely)

SD: No, of course not.

Fast Foward to a counseling appointment 6 months later.

Counselor: "SD, why don't you tell SM some of your concerns"

SD: "Sometimes you make me feel really bad about myself"

Me: "Honey, I would never want to do that. Can you give me an example?"

You're Not Fooling Anyone BM!

BM had SD13 call daddy to say that she wanted to come this weekend, because she misses the dog...

Then SD13 decided that she changed her mind and will be with her friends this weekend. Apparently the dog is not missed that much.

BM informs DH that even though SD13 doesn't want to come, SS9 does.

Hey, BM, we're not stupid. We know you are going out of town and your brats don't want to stay with your mother, so you are trying to send them to our house. Not happening! Its NOT our weekend!

I can't stop laughing!
