I just learned the BM's live-in boyfriend has cheated on her. (talk about karma). This is the man SHE cheated on BF with. I always thought I'd be gloating that she "got what she deserved" if I ever leaned of this information. I mean, BM had it made with a well-educated, well-paid man and she chose to leave him for a bartender/cook (not judging the profession at all) that hasn't been able to hold a steady job in the last 3 years. Instead, I am VERY VERY close to the person that was with BM's boyfriend.

So Saturday was my 27th B-Day I wake up to a phone call from my BF wishing me a happy b-day. I get up make my daughter breakfast get a call from my BFF wishing me a happy b-day and letting me know that she made me a cake and wanted to cook me dinner that night and have some drinks because she knows that my BF is gone on business. I start cleaning the house and do laundry cause Im sure you all know that doing that while hungover is no fun!

Hello everyone! I know that this is said a lot but this site is the only thing that can get me through sometimes. I am so happy that I stumbled upon this site. My DBf and I are both active duty in the military and we live together with SS3. He is with us about 45% of the time. The ex-wife is such a pain in my ass. I know how to handle stress, being to the middle east and all, but the stuff she bitches about makes me CRAZY. DBf pays her rent, phone, and she uses HIS car that he pays for, ON TOP of her CS and she STILL bitches about him not doing enough for her.

So, when my BF and I started to have me sleep over when his son was around, he had programmed lil 5 year old Aidan that when he wakes up to turn the TV On, and let us sleep. Well, now that I am going to be moving in, and for the past few weeks, Aidan hads been waking us up at 630 in the am to sleep in our bed. I come from a split Family and this was something that was shunned upon by both my step mom and dad. I feel very uncomfortable with this, firstly I work in the restaurant industry and get home late, I cannot be waking up at 630, listening to lil guy try and strike up a conversation.

I know I sound so petty when I say this, especially since my SD is only 5, but I always feel so relieved when she leaves!

Here are some entertaining events from this weekend;

Last night, I ran a load of Sheldon's school clothes. This morning when I woke up, I put them in the dryer. After I get myself ready this morning and lunches made, it's time to wake up the kids. They all know that they must be fully dressed before they leave their bedroom. Here comes one, and then another, and then another, and hmmmmm, Sheldon is still in his room and it's been 15 minutes now.

BM needed DH to meet her half way tonight to get SS14. As tired as he was from working in the woods all day, he agreed.

He knew I was tired of being on the back burner. He came to me, and conceded it wasn't much of date, but asked if BS8 and I wanted to ride along with him to get SS and have dinner while we were out.

BOTH PEOPLE IN A RELATIONSHIP NEED TO COMMUNICATE & LEARN TO COMPROMISE FOR CERTAIN THINGS.
FOR THOSE FEELING NEGLECTED OR LONELY..AND I SEE ALOT OF THIS ON ST....HERE'S SOMEWAYS TO CHAMGE THAT....
I WOULD SET A SIDE A SPECIAL TIME TO TALK AND MAKE A SCHEDULE FOR DATES AND TIME FOR INTIMACY.
2 DATE NIGHTS A MONTH( HE TAKES YOU WHERE EVER YOU WANT ) IN EXCHANGE FOR GOURMET( NO INTERRUPTIONS) SEX 2 X A MONTH.(FAIR DEAL)

MOST MEN WOULD PREFER TO HAVE SEX AS OFTEN AS HE CAN GET IT.

Hello everyone,

Highest regards to all the step parents out there. This is one of the most difficult jobs in my book.

Ok, new to this so bare with me. Need to vent and figured this is the best place to...with like minded people.( I hope I'm welcomed)

I would just like to say thank-you very much for your thoughts and prayers.

Over the last month I have been slowly sifting through Dani’s personal items and came across her Step Talk log in details which prompted me to log on. At the time I wasn’t going to share about her passing I just wanted to read her blogs so I could get a better understanding of what she was thinking and feeling and what key actions I missed that lead her to think she had no other way out.
