So we are "withdrawing"

overit2's picture

Well, at least that's what the bf calls it..IMO it's just slowing things down for the kids.

We've been having several talks lately about how the kids are making us escalate our relationship to quick...and that the pressure of all 3 of them together is taking a toll on our relationship in a bad way. I was getting resentful, he was feeling torn, we were both stressed and at our wits ends.

Does disengaging work before marriage?

So-I keep reading about this...and I'm starting to wonder, maybe because I had a difficult day today. I think it's always very bad on Sundays when she's going home-maybe jealousy because we all stay here as a family..the transition, feeling displaced, whathaveyou..but she turns into a horrible girl to be around. I do not and will not subject my sons to her hateful attitude anymore when she's like this-sorry this is MY home, well and my sons home also!

GAG ME!! SD showed up with pics of my bf and BM. I'm sick of BM's games!

OH MY GOSH....so of course having FSD the last couple days around has been trying of course...as usual she displays selfish behavior w/my son-refuses to share then insists he shares with her.

Yesterday I had a stressful day...went out shopping w/my boys for a few hours-then came home, left them w/the bf and took SD out shopping again -I had a couple things to get and she had some gift cards from her bday she wanted to get some outfits with-that's cool-figured it be a nice girl bonding time.

Would you FB Friend your BF's dad?

Just a quick poll...would you send a friend rqst to your serious bf's dad?

My bf does not like computers at all-doesn't even have a FB-not interested (works for me believe me lol).

His dad mentioned he was on FB the other day-we get along great and there's certainly nothing to hide on my page (well I have a lot of exbf's that post stuff on my wall-mainly political arguments ha!)

The way my future FIL is though he might feel to shy to send me a friend rqst-...so would you?

The BM Bday party update-not w/out some BS

Well, this wknd was the bday party the BM was having for her D.

I was obviously skeptic-it was the first combined event w/her/her family/friends-and then just my bf, me and my boys. He normally doesn't do the both parents bday. BUT his D had specifically invited us and the boys so IMO it would have been rude to not suck it up and go.

The dreaded name change :(

I'm just feeling so upset today. See like many other women-I kept the ex's name after divorce. There were several reasons for this...mainly my kids so we could share the same name. 2) I was known professionally by that name 3) I filed my own divorce and it was 1 1/2yrs of paperwork filing and filling out back and forth I did NOT want to do a damn more thing about the divorce and take months more to finish that. 4) the last name is a nice and unusual one-it's actually a european city name-good conversation starter.

OT-Are gift baskets too impersonal for family?

overit2's picture

Totally off topic but with Holidays coming up and all. Do you guys think a gift basket is too impersonal for say your brother and spouse?

My oldest brother has sent me one before but he lives in another state so it's easy to ship and we only see eachother a few times a year at most-normally i would shop around for something for my youngest brogher and his wife who live in the same city as I do but this year I'm feeling going more simple.

Got to sleep in to 1!!! Yep, that's my kids for ya!

SO, tough week, with FSD around all week, lots of hectic evenings. SO of course BM still in hospital and changed plans so the one Thanksgiving Day we would be just him and his family got changed for her to be with us. THat's fine-just always last minute change around-I knew it.
I had a wonderful time at his family's..they are awesome people, made me feel SO welcome and comfortable. Was really exceptional. At least I know I"m getting into a family who's IN-laws adore me and respect me and would always have my back.
