My husband's exes won't disappear...

Louise's picture

I met my husband last March at work, we started dating by May, moved in together by August, found out we were pregnant in October, and got married in March. It was a whirlwind of a year and it was great but everytime I turn around there is one of his exes. Granted it was only a few months before we got together that their relationship ended but; from what he says, he didn't consider her a girlfriend. Just someone to pass the time with sorta thing and not cute either. Now, she has become his sister's best friend and is always at his parents house.

pissed off

I'm so thankful that I have all of you to come to and vent to. I'm really mad because my husband, since he went to "mommy's" house, hasn't paid his part of the rent. My marriage is a sham! If he had been really committed to me we would've merged our money when we first got married. He didn't want to do that because he thought that I was a gold digger. I know that's what he thought. And a lot of his mail, bank account info, bills, etc. still goes to his mother's house. So what if he's the one out of the hundred men who show up for marriage counseling.

1st counseling appointment

schrob01's picture

so last night was our 1st counseling appointment & I'm not sure I'm happy w/the way things went. we weren't really aloud to express how we feel. although my DH was able to monopolize the conversation as always, leaving me to stew in my own feelings, as usual, holding my tounge as usualy, saving it for my personal counseling appt., as usuall. The did mention to him that he's been "guilt" parenting all this time. they confronted him about allowing SD to engage in a sexual relationship w/her BF & how as "christians" we aren't supposed to do that.

Not step related...but what would you think?

I go on FH's facebook this morning to find a message a woman left on his wall that says, "Sorry, my battery died when we were talking." Then she tells him what city she lives in. I'm not a jealous type of person, but why is my FH talking to someone on the phone who he obviously doesn't know well enough to know where she lives?

I'm blown away...

At this very moment, I am just utterly amazed...

BM is moving... OUT OF STATE!!!! WOW. We found out last night, and she's leaving SS behind with us- just like that. She told DH that they were leaving this SATURDAY!!! :shocked: - Talk about short notice...

but wait... it gets better...

So, we agree to have SS go over and spend the week with her and his siblings before they leave. Apparently, though, today, plans changed- (not surprised, really) and now they are leaving WEDNESDAY!!!!! :jawdrop: :shocked: :puzzled:

Everyone keeps babying my SS

jewel's picture

He is such a pain the the FU***** Ass. Almost 18 years old and just totally pathetic. I married a man whose first wife had died when SS was 13. My H and I are constantly fighting about him. It is tearing our marriage apart. My H wants him to finish high school which is normally a good thing, but this kid is almost 18 and still taking mostly 9th grade classes. WHAT THE HELL??? By H keeps thinking he's "going to turn things around." This kid is such a manipulative, lying, conniving little creep. I can barely stand to be in the same room with him.

Family Meeting #1

TheCharm's picture

Something we've never done before. We sat Dudebug down and told him that he's old enough to have a big boy discussion. We talked about how his mom has been mad at us this past week. We don't know what she has said to him...and we don't want to know, we will never question him about his mother...but we want him to remember that he should trust his own judgment about people. Just because his mom says bad things about someone doesn't mean its always true. We used an example among his friends. We even addressed how his mom claims that I mistreat him. Reminded him how he disagreed with that.

The strangeness continues

Every Sunday my family gets together and we have dinner and play games. This weekend was my turn so we cooked out and the kids played soccer and horse shoes. Out of the blue my fiance's daughter announced she hates my dog. He's a 4 year old black chow and loves kids. When I brought him home as a puppy my niece took one look at him and said he looks like a teddy bear. So the name stuck and he has been my teddy bear. It really hurt when she said she hates my Bear. That was all she said the whole day.
