Why put up with a child that isnt yours

Chocoshoes123's picture

Many will say that its black and white. You knew what you were getting into. You accept this or you dont. Its your problem, deal with it.
These are people who have never had to deal with this situation. Or it comes from the father of the child that you loathe so much. Nobody understands.
People have to hide how they feel, bitch to their friends about how they truly feel when all you want to do is scream out loud how you wish that child never existed and that your idiot SO should have kept it in his pants instead of firin into some munt, litreally desperation on his part.
Holding resentment for his actions and resentment and jealousy towards his spawn is the most unhealthy feeling i have ever experienced. One day on from this break up and i am feeling a slight relief. For 2 years i barely put up with that child. I would go bck to my parents houes the 2 days he visited his dad because i couldnt stand to be anywhere near him and control what his dad done and when he done it. How dare that stupid child tell his dad what to do! Hes 5yo fs. Im not interested in constantly being 2nd best. Why do women put theirselves through this! Why should you have to suffer for his foolish actions. Leave him to it. Let him and his offspring get on with it.
I use to be like so many women on here. Burying my head in the sand and then dissing the kid at every chanve i got to other people. I have become a shadow of my former self. Lost my self esteem and confidence. Constant paranoia. And for what? To keep a man happy. No. I think its time i moved on and looked after me, number one. Until someone else is willing to make me their number one. No sprog to spoil your happiness and being 100% you! It sounds like bliss to me. Knowing you done the right thing in the end will keep me sane during this tough time. Im glad i can move on now.

If you really dislike this kid so much, I think you should find another guy too. Preferably someone without kids. It would be best for everyone in your situation-you, so and the five year old child, who cannot leave this situation.

My BF has a kid I can't stand but I stay because I love him, we are on the SAME page regarding skid/bm bullshit and he puts ME/US FIRST! That is what makes the difference IMHO.

I did date a man before my current BF that had a kid I couldnt stand either. But to me that man was NOT worth it so I left. If BF and I werent like we are then you bet your ass I would leave and seek "greener" pastures! Being with a man with a kid(s) SUCKS! I would only wish this "life" on my worst enemy!!!

My now ex bf (as of yesterday) was worth it. But feeling how i felt wasnt. I think you must know that deep down, that kid is number one. Trust me on this one. Please! It only gets worse, i gradually got worse over those 2 years, it doesnt get better if thats how you feel right now. Hope you can deal with the unfortunate situation, i really feel for you

I wont lie, I hate that that kid even exists and that because he does my BF has to waste $920 a month on CS to give to his loser bm who we all know spends on herself and her "upkeep" etc.
I also hate that because of that kid our future is on the backburner because so much of BF's money goes to THEM!!! But when they were married she had nice houses, cars, etc. That burns my ass big time! I work 40 hours a week and BF busts his ass too and THEY get taken care of but he cant support or really do much of anything for OUR family and future until that fucking kid grows up and BF finally gets to stop paying for him.

I hate this "life" believe me I really do but I love my BF and I know that I would regret losing what I have with him. If someday that changes I will definitely leave! But he seriously does put me and our relationship first. If he didnt I would have been gone yesterday! I come second to NO ONE! Believe me when I say that! I dont care if its a kid or not, second is NOT an option for me! Smile

Do you mind if i ask in what way he puts you first? Im not asking that in a cheeky tone, just like how he treats you or what he says etc.
My ex burst his balls at work n he doesnt pay even half as much as you say for child support, the BM gets £150 a month for him but as if that gets spent on him. My ex's side, absolutely spoil that child n that boot of a BM has got it good. I am in pieces that i had to end it, i dont know why i put up with it because it doesnt get easier. You sound so resentful, i dont know what age you are but dont waste your life stressing over these things you shouldnt have to. Im 21 and know i have a life to live and maybe one day i'll meet someone who is just as awesome as my ex is - with no baggage and baby mama drama from such a hideous ogre of a woman

That's ok I know your not being cheeky...well lets see...he puts my feelings and wants first.
Like say I am uncomfortable about something that BM wants him to do like for instance go with her to skids school like they are one big happy family. He didnt do it. He took care of things on his own. I tell him that he shouldnt give BM or skid a penny more than what he is ordered to pay for CS because that money pays for more than enough for skid and he doesnt have to and he doesnt. He barely has skid as it is but when he does he knows that I dont want to be around skid at all and he accepts and respects that I dont like his kid or want to be around him and he doesnt hassle me or treat me any differently because of it. Things like that. Smile
Hope that answers your question.

My BF pays so much because at the time of their divorce BM's atty set the precedent of using his W2 tax returns instead of going by his actual paychecks so because he was the only one supporting the family he worked alot and made great money so he got fucked over big time! Sad I hate that he has to pay so much, but he is going to be taking the bitch back to court soon to get it lowered and I cant wait to see the look on that gold diggers face when she gets less money! All the child support bullshit makes me even more bitter and resentful believe me! I hate them both because of it all! But someday it will end and we will have the life we deserve!!! That is what I cling to!

I am 29 and my BF is 41. I know that I could probably find someone else but they wont be him. But I have made up my mind and told BF before that I will leave if/when any bullshit with skid/bm ever happen and interfere with our lives etc. and he is terrified to lose me because he KNOWS he has it good with me and that I love him etc.

I just hope you dont flip before the time comes when he stops paying CS coz although he might no be paying his way, he is still gna have a child, tht will never ever change. The way your bf treats you is exactly how mine acted too, not goin to any events where she would be there and knowing i struggled with the kid he never forced me to do things with them etc. the thing is though, despite how good he has it with you, as my bf had with me, he will always have that child and that responsibility. You will always have that hate and resentment, i'll never find another guy like him but its not the end of the world, we might be friends in time n id rather have him as a friend than not have him at all as he is a special person to me. I just cant have the romantic attachment anymore as its all too much. Jeez i planned a wedding to this guy and out the blue i dumped him, i knew it couldnt be any other way. Im reading all these posts frm
Other women who are now married and still hating on the step kids. How can they cope with that intense emotion!? Iv realised now that it doesnt matter how much you love someone, if you are putting your own happiness second it can only turn sour. Life is unfortunate and its what you're willing to tolerate that you end up with in life

Wise words! You are right and I have often thought like that too. I have also contemplated just being friends or have benefits with him but at the end of the day, I love this man. I love him more than I hate them! I want a future with him. If there comes a time where I just cant take it anymore I will cut my losses and leave but I have not gotten to that point yet.

My BF works hard to give me/us the life we deserve and I commend him for that. He got a bum deal when he got divorced. I know he got with her, knocked her up, married her etc. that is on him and he has to deal with that. It just sucks that he has to pay as much as he does for one damn kid! How do they expect these men to live for real?! The system is sooo flawed!

Your blog title was pretty much self explanatory regarding the topic, thus the reason I clicked on it!!! I am feeling this way at the moment and wanted to read your story. You are correct, the purpose of this site is to vent and I bypass many blog titles that don't catch my interest. Then again those of us who have lives don't really have time to be asinine with such insignificance. At any rate, enjoy your new found freedom!!!

I can only hope you deal well with your situation. Its the most unbearable feeling i have ever had. It was stupid to get involved in the first place but nobody ever thinks how hard it will be, you're blonded by your love for the guy. But if you're gna accept the man, you have to accept the child. It is as the saying goes 'package deal' i only opted in for the one, not buy one get one free. I must admit, its not really worth it. Theres only so much people can put up with and tolerate. You deserve to be happy!

TASHA1983's picture

I say fuck the "Package Deal" I only love and accept the MAN I am with...he knows I don't like his kid and want nothing to do with him and he is completely ok with it. We have been together almost 2 years now and I have felt that way for awhile now about skid and he is perfectly fine with how I feel about/towards his kid.
He totally understands why I don't like him, because skid is pretty much a little BM and skid and Bm are nothing but bullshit and games so he doesn't give a fuck anymore either. He pays his CS every week on time right out of his check and if his kid wants to see him then he does, if he decides to blow BF off then so be it. BF is done with BOTH of their bullshit! That is why in my situation, for me, it is worth it. If/when that EVER changes...we will be HISTORY!!! Smile
