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

AGREED. Be polite, but don't make friend or engage in conversation unless it's important information about Skids that your FH for some reason can't convey himself
agree with the other. no
agree with the other. no need to speak to ex. I've been married to my dh now for 6 years, together 7 and I've NEVER had a conversation with his ex (other than being forced to interact at the hospital over ss once). if you take this advice, you'll never have to deal with something like this again.

why wasnt the ring on your finger?
Why did you take it off
Why did you take it off anyway? I always just gave people my hand to show it.

Why were u at the table with her listening to this stuff? Why did u sit ur ring on the table?
Not to sound rude but it seems u brought this on yourself
It'd be a cold day in hell
It'd be a cold day in hell before I would be sitting at ANY table with BM letting her give me a speech about her relationship/child-bearing experience with my husband.
I just can't even fathom a situation or circumstance where that would happen with us. Ever.
Don't ever do this again.
Don't ever do this again. Don't sit at the Sam table with her- ever.
After giving me a half hour
After giving me a half hour speech about what it was like to be pregnant with his kids
Why did you even sit through that? This whole thing is weird.
In 17+ years, I have not spoken a total of a half an hour with BM. I certainly have never watched her put on my ring!
Time to start standing up for yourself and put some boundaries up. Very strong boundaries.
clueless or a bitch. i
clueless or a bitch. i agree. why did you sit and listen? i would have excused myself.
I put myself in this position
I put myself in this position a few times early on to be friendly so we could all get along. Bm pulled similar crap- since she isn't mature enough and can't set boundaries, I do not get together with her.
You gave her the opportunity, she showed you her colors- now learn to set boundaries since she can't.
