I give up.........I am DONE

More drama yesterday when SD15 was found out to be binging and purging, then screaming when her stomach was in pain. Here is my situation....I am not married to their Father, we live together and are engaged. My own daughter 17 lives with us. In a relationship with him now for four years, living together for 2 when all hell broke loose with BM over her jealousy of our nicer and bigger home. SD15 and SS11 continue to disrespect me, my life has become one of a great weekend and then a miserable one which I dread. Now BM is dumping SD15 off with us more because she cannot handle the issues (SD 15 having sex with numerous partners, all underage boys, bulemia, hatred and generally obnoxious). DH wont acknowledge her bulemia. BM and him continue to text constantly so much I am definitely the third wheel. The texts from BM start at 8am on Sunday mornings. Yesterday at Sam's Club I finally got him to agree to adding me to the membership card so I can shop there when he is out of town for work. I was told his ex is still on the card and I would have to pay 45 bucks. DH got all angry with ME in front of the poor Sams Club woman and insisted I was making a fuss over nothing. Seems BM has had a membership card paid for by him for the eight years since divorced. DH insists all the drama with her is because they have children together but he still has her name on everything (mortgage, car registration, clubs etc). The kicker is....I am financially independent, earn more than DH, and the reason we have such a nice home is because I have a good wage. He does too but both together we do well. I love DH but have to face reality now. My home is not my home anymore and his toxic kids, toxic ex wife and sick relationship with her is making me mentally ill. I am getting out after the Holidays. For my daughter's sake and mine. Can I ask your advice although I am pretty sure I know the answer. :?

He is still way too involved with his ex, kids or not.

Who would want their exes name on everything? These men who use the kids as an excuse for all things BM must think we are idiots.

All the drama with her is because he allows it.

You are doing the right thing.

if he refuses to acknowledge you as his partner in life as well as financially in your home I would be gone as well and I would make sure he knew why.

he is still having a relationship with his ex be it sexual or not it is still some form of a relationship he is unwilling to let go for you.

i still have a parenting relationship with my ex and it doesnt look anything like you are describing

Run, this will never get better. You are either his SO or she is. He can't have it both ways. Find someone that deserves you...

Thank you to everyone!
I am either going to leave next week while he is out of the country on business or wait till after the Holidays. My son and nephew will be with us for Christmas and I just don't want the bother of the skids around us. So I may leave next week, just pack up and go. We share the house (the mortgage) but I have already been to an attorney and as we are not legally married, the house is a business arrangement. If he refuses to sell and partition the profits, he will be responsible for all the bills until the house is sold (as he will be choosing it at his residence). I will petition the courts for a partition. If I move next week, my nephew (21 years old) will be here to help me physically. I know my daughter will be upset at a move so close to the Holidays but she cannot be happy with the insanity and toxicity around the house. He is actually going to Japan for ten days so I could have us moved and settled in that time. My boss would understand and give me the time off work. I have sat and talked to this man so many times in the past two years and nothing has changed, absolutely nothing. Alternatively I could tell him WHY I am moving out after the Holidays and hope things will change. But who am I kidding right??

Well done, that's a very positive decision. Actions speak louder than words and he obviously has taken no action to properly separate from her. What you're doing is very sensible, I hope you're feeling empowered by taking back control of your life. It's hard to leave but it's short term pain for long term gain.

A joke to make you smile....What's the difference between God and a lawyer? Answer.... God doesn't think he's a lawyer!

Stay strong!
