Today, my boyfriend informed me that the mother of his children, from whom he is not divorced yet, is moving back into his house because she broke up with her boyfriend and has nowhere to go. FML

I believe the technical term for that woman is, um, . . . wife.

Come on y'all. I know most of you have never been through a divorce (neither have I) but when you have kids with someone, you'll have a link to them for life. Not an emotional one necessarily, but literally you're going to have to interact with them a lot as long as your kids are minors. If you're uncomfortable with your boyfriend interacting with his soon to be ex-wife, then end it now, because it's not ever going away.

He can take his kids while the ex gets her poop in a group. He is not responsible for her. If the boyfriend is bringing the ex back into his home, chances are they aren't over.

Well he is responsible for his kids, and maybe separating his children from their mother isn't in their best interest. Responsible for her or not doesn't matter. The kids do.

Or maybe he's a nice guy and they split on friendly terms? Why do people always assume that "divorce" means screaming rage laced with sexual overtones? Not everyone hates their ex, and not everyone who doesn't will jump in their pants when they stand too close together.

What the ****? Do it for his children, leave that jealousy and suspicion behind for a while.

Now you dont have to think about who has the kids in The weekend :)

I agree with him 100%. I'm the father of two lovely children, and if shit hits the fan with my wife, if it came to keeping a roof over their heads and a jealous woman? The latter can take das boot. My kids take precedence over pussy.

I see your point. But being a girlfriend to a divorced man with a child, i feel like this situation could very well create a lot of confusion for the children involved. I hope the ex really has nowhere else to go and isn't just using the situation to her advantage.

Regardless of the status of separation, if you know a man is married then you don't touch him until he's not. Just my opinion though.

I definitely think that OP has cause for concern. I mean how easy would it be for OP's boyfriend to say 'ok let's just forget the divorce', and to get back with his wife now that she is in such close proximity? But, I also think that if OP wants a strong relationship that she should trust her boyfriend. Good luck!

The chances of this happening are about as high as him drunkenly hooking up with a stranger at a bar. Either you trust someone or you don't.

Break up with him, baby mama is gonna just bring you hell.

I may end up sounding like a hard ass, but OP, YDI for dating a still-married guy.
