I am newly married and my H has 3 kids from a previous marriage. The BM wasn't in the picture until we got engaged. They have shared parenting but going back to court because she is trying to prove my H unfit. He has 2 of the 3 and she is the one that goes out and parties. I am driving my H nuts because I am getting obsessed with the court case. I started soon after we got together keeping documentation. It is a major plus in the case we are about to go thru. The attorney is great but of course there is always a chance that we won't win.
Im new to this so bear with me....I have been engaged for 1 year to a man that i have dated for 5 yrs...He has ex step children that he raised from the age of 5 and 8...They are now 20 and 23...The oldest is graduating from college this weekend...and i wasnt invited...I really havent had much contact with them...and he talks to them quite often...I was hurt at first...UNTIL...He and i went to dinner with the 20 yr old this weekend...He treated me awful..Like i wasnt even at the table..I wasnt spoken to..I tried to be in on the conversation and Nothing!!
• Calls skids on my unlisted landphone. WTF? Thank god for caller ID because if she calls, her kids can answer it because I want nothing to do with her. No contact means no contact. Maybe I’ll put her number on block if I can figure out how.lol
• Texted H to see how my mom was. Again, wtf? Last time I “talked” to her was in October…when she was in my living room threatening to throw me outta my house…the fight to end all fights, where I was going to fire her through the front window…and now she’s asking about my mom? Oh, pleeze!
So I am trying to figure if my wife is trying to make me insane. It seems all the emotions between us tend to be negative due to arguments over SD or other issues. I tired to really be a positive person and good dad & husband this weekend.
My BF's ex is breaking up with her BF. She and 2 skids have lived with him for 5 years. Ever since my BF said he wasn't going to pay the mortgage any longer...she moved in with the guy she cheated with. She hasn't had to pay rent for all that time...don't know for sure what arragnement was...but sure no rent. Now he has asked her and girls to move out...I guess they got some counseling, he blames her for his son moving out. The woman's a bitch and she got in a fight with his son (17) and he left a month or so ago. Anyway...how does this affect my BF and ME.
So BF finally said to me that when he looks back now and sees how much time BM spent at work and how he was doing everything from cleaning and cooking and helping his daughter with her homework. NOW he knows the BM was cheating on him because she is pregnant with her BOSSES BABY! And he says that it bothers him because he was looking like a fool for so long... I understand why it would bother him but the only reason why hes putting serious thought into now is because BM is prego.
I never play the lottery, but for fun last week I did. Did not win a thing of course, but day dreaming about it sure was FUN. My DH and I talked about what we would do with the $$ (while making sure BM did not know about it) DH said it could be all mine so BM would not be entitled to any of it, but I would secretly set aside some $$ for the skids to give to them from time to time when they are "adults" In my day dream, I would help my mom (get her out of debt from my bro's college loan) and give her some to put aside so she would not have to work so hard.
So frustrating, it just never ends!!!
I noticed most people that said to not throw out old pics and momentos of BM said to keep them for the SKs...so if there was no kids from a marriage & you're remarried, then do you throw them out? or do you still keep them? How long do you keep them, forever? Do you think 25 years down the road when you've been remarried for most of your adult life you will still feel the need to hang onto pics of a previous marriage?
So BM has recently put out a restraining order on FH. Apparently to him calling her crazy is domestic violence (in my opinion it is stating a fact lol)(and just a note FH has never been violent to her in anyway she is claiming emotional abuse just because they fight with each other, yep he picked a winner when he got with that one), we don't think it went through. BM's bf was the one to "serve" the papers and they came with big X's on the page. Sketchy I know, but FH is going to the court to find out for sure that it is not valid.
