This is what happened. A couple of months back BM called my DH screaming at him that she wanted to see his tax returns for 2006 and that she was sure he made more money and was going to take him back to court! She just did that Nov/06, not even a year ago and the judge gave her more money...She calls my DH at work and he hates it.
So why am I upset, a cheque cleared the account the other day and it was for more than it should have been. I called DH and he says he is paying her more. WTF?
Yesterday turned into a very nice anniversary. We went out to a friend's ranch where we got married with some of our extended family. We rode horses, sat around the pool to watch the sunset and drank white wine. (sorry no red was offered). Then we drove home and on the drive we had one of those "real" talks. It was great. Sometimes when we feel so far apart and the gap seems to divide us, we really aren't that far away as we think. When we talked we saw how we were both thinking and feeling the same way and yes it brought us closer. So very good for us.
There is something I need to get off my chest this morning...
To you men, you BF's & SF's who treat the kids as your own, Kudos! You have my respect & my admiration, because in my experience, men like you are all too scarce.
We went grocery shopping last night. A couple hours after we got home, we get this email: "SS wants to know how your trip to (Grocery Store) was tonight. We saw you two all over the place. It upset SS badly."

In December my H has to go to court. My h's ex is only giving her opinion on everything and not evidence. We have had a GAL and he seems to take our side on this case. There are 3 children in our family and we don't feel that it would be right to take the SD away from her sisters. Please help it is killing me to think that she will win just because.
I really just need to know what I should do in my situation. First of all I love my wife. When it's just the two of us we're o.k., but the problem is that it's not just the two of us on a daily basis, and my kids were with me first. I was a single dad for 3 1/2 years taking care of them and working full-time 12 hour swing shift. As much as I hate to see my marriage fall apart, shouldn't my childrens' well-being come first?
i'm new here
i'm 44 with three grown kids that i raised alone and got married a year ago
now i've ask my husband to move out with his kid she here most of the time
and makes my life a living hell...so i've ask him to move out because his daughter wants to be his wife too...and can't take it anymore...i have mixed feeling about this but if it brings me some kind of peace of mind then i m gonna take it for what its worth ...but at the same time i feel guilty
any advise??
I am just realizing how much this really does suck for her. Of course, she made her bed, but man! To have to beg family or friends for a ride to my home to visit with her own child must be tough to swallow. Dh got off work so he would be home and BM didn't like that at all. We think she was hoping it would just be her and I with SD because I am the nice one and she might be able to con me into allowing her alone time with SD.
I finally posted some "bio" information.
Thanks for all yall's input- even about topics that haven't hit us yet. Seeing what we may be in for helps me prepare for the coming years. It also helps me keep in perspective how good some aspects of this are for me.
Thanks to anyone that has offered sympathy or advice on how to handle future in laws that are supporting and conniving with the ex.

I have been absent to this site for a bit. Truthfully now looking back I am reminded of how dark our situation was. UPDATE: SD moved out to grandmas house, we (DH & I)started couples counciling, focusing on communication. Then with the kids left in the house (we still have 4) we began family counseling. We all are learning about each other and each others needs in a controled and focused enviroment. It has been a God-send. The change in the house has been so dramatic that DH does not want SD to move back.
