Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Seriously, if it were
Seriously, if it were possible to go thru a tv screen, that would be one time I wish I could do it! What a POS! :sick:
And the award for setting
And the award for setting back women's rights is...
Didn't we burn bras and picket just so that we could have a right to not have to rely on a man?
AMEN!
AMEN!
AMEN to this too!
AMEN to this too!
OMG this guy just told her
OMG this guy just told her she would have to have 492k a year to live the way she thinks she deserves. lol! :jawdrop:
No wonder her dh divorced her. lol
Oh, didn't you know that once
Oh, didn't you know that once you're married to someone (especially once you realize they are the bigger person and always do the right thing), they are obligated to take care of you for the rest of your life? You have the right to sit on your fat ass and live off of their hard work because working is...well, hard. And, bonus points if you were smart enough to get knocked up when you smelled that he was unhappy and ready to leave! You knew he would always always always make sure his children are taken care of. Therefore, YOU are taken care of too! Sit back and enjoy your life of leisure, HO.
It totally sucks! Especially
It totally sucks! Especially when you are the woman to come along AFTER all of this bs...hence why this site even exists!

LIFETIME ALIMONY??!!...OMFW!
:jawdrop: LIFETIME ALIMONY??!!...OMFW! If my dh told me he had to do THAT well, he wouldn't be my dh, hell he would have never even made it to bf status if that is what I would have had to deal with! No way am I ever coming second to any woman financially speaking etc especially not for a damn lifetime!
I mean no disrespect but who in their right mind would put up with that??!! I just can't fathom that logic...but that is just me.
My Mom got lifetime
My Mom got lifetime alimony-$5k monthly with cost of living increases, 1/2 all their savings & 2 free & clear homes.

Yea I know I loved when they
Yea I know I loved when they told her she doesn't get it. Reality is that you don't have it and wont get it. Reality is that she needs to get a job and live with in her means. lol But what blew me away was the 492k that she would have to have coming in to support her 'deserved' life style! :jawdrop:
492k that she would have to
492k that she would have to have coming in to support her 'deserved' life style!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I too would like that lifestyle!!
Yep he is paying her 14k a
Yep he is paying her 14k a month in CS! :jawdrop:
What did Dr. Phil say? The
What did Dr. Phil say?
The only way I'd support this is if he cheated on her. If that's the case, I have no problem with the person cheated on taking the cheater to the cleaners financially.
Was DH's ex on Dr Phil?! This
Was DH's ex on Dr Phil?! This is exactly how she thinks. They were only married for six yrs, yet we are paying almost 2k in CS and alimony. Luckily, alimony is almost over. Thank God! I agree with taush. It's like a legal form of prostitution. Just because you spread your legs doesn't mean you are entitled to a lifetime of financial support while you sit on your ass!
I agree that women need to
I agree that women need to work or at least have a viable means of supporting themselves BESIDES pooping out babies. My coworker's wife is like this... She's AWFUL. He works two jobs while she's a SAHM... He even said she doesn't really clean that much, he does most of it. She cooks though, so... Good for her? It honestly annoyed me the first time he told me about his wife... I work more than full time, go to school full time, home cook two out of three meals (plus snacks!), clean everyday for at least two hours, and take care of all the kids' appointments but she gets to whine about having the kids all day while her husband goes to his second job!?!?!?!? Absolutely ridiculous that just because they have a vagina they think they are entitled to everything being handed to them with a smile.
OMG- this woman was something
OMG- this woman was something else. On one hand, I could understand her anger at not getting the settlement they agreed to, especially if he was being totally shady about it like she said. However, her inability to understand that she needed to live in the real world was mind boggling. She would not budge on her position that she deserved that money, and to continue not working like she did when she was married. She kept saying she was entitled to keep being a SAHM, as if circumstances in life never, ever change. She seriously has her head in the sand.
And did anyone notice how the numbers don't add up? She was supposed to get 14k a month for CS and alimony, which equals 180k a year. And she kept insisting that she was living within her means when she was getting the money. But the expert guy said she needed 492k to maintain her lifestyle. So again- deluded. I'm guessing she and her ex have no idea what "live within your means" means, hence his bankruptcy.
Crazy people are fun!
