Surprise!

By Anonymous - 13/12/2021 01:58

Today, my boyfriend told me he’d have a surprise for me when I got home. The surprise was he’d moved out, dumped me, and cut me off from his share of the bills, because he’s not interested in marriage and babies. I can’t afford the rent by myself so I’m going to have to move back to my mother's. FML

Today, I made the mistake of telling my boyfriend I was taking my kids to my mother's until he has decided if he wants to carry on being a boyfriend and stepfather. While we were gone, he apparently realised how good his life could be without us, and dumped me. I fucked up. FML

Today, I let my estranged husband move back in with my son and me. Later, his pregnant and underage girlfriend knocked on my door, crying about how her mom kicked her out. I'm such a pushover, they're in my bed and I'm on the couch. FML

Today, the mother of my children and partner of 13 years told me she is leaving me for her boss. I'm currently sitting in the living room with our two kids and her mother. Everyone here is half of her. We moved 1000 miles away from all of my family and friends 8 years ago. I think I might be living in a sitcom. 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.

Take the kids, mom can move back with her parents or shelter or be responsible for herself.

Are you serious? For someone who constantly spews religious shit... Your comment is ignorant as ****. First off - his wife, WIFE needs help. He's helping her - just because they aren't going to be married any longer does not mean he is going to stop caring. Second - this woman is the mother of HIS children. What kind of man would set that kind of example for HIS children? Get off your high horse Ma'am.

You should never date a married man. He wasn't divorced, so he was still married. Next time, wait until the divorce is final, and then go out with the guy.

Wow.... kids are always number 1.. Take them and give the mom enough money to stay at a hotel a few nights to figure out what she's gonna do.. that's what I would do! Good luck Hun.

That's what happens when you date someone who hasn't finalized their divorce. He doesn't have a choice but let her move back in. It's the law, until the divorce is final neither party can force the other out of the house. Even if they leave, they can come back! If you choose to date someone in this stage of a divorce you have to accept the circumstances.

well really kids are number one. She is the mother of his children and what do expect her to do, sleep on the street? Why are you even involved with a married man in the first place? And she clearly has more precedant in the house than you do! She will ALWAYS be involved in his life whether they get back together or not, and your the one in the wrong for messing around with a man whose still married in the first place!
