Ok, if you’re a nuclear scientist then you must be making good money. I thought you were saying you financially couldn’t make it on your own. If that’s not true, you’ve got to get out of there and get your own place.
You think people are judging you for dating down based on finances and career. I doubt anyone is. Decent people don’t consider it desperate to date someone whose career isn’t as high powered or who earns less. But getting back together with the guy who told you in no uncertain terms that he didn’t want to marry you or be a parent figure to your son, and trying to negotiate his feelings? That’s something that will raise eyebrows.
Now I’m even more confused. You’re financially independent. Yet you can’t make it without this man in your life? Why? What are you getting from this relationship?
I am happy. I get love, support, and great sex. My boyfriend is happy too.
My son just has a few glitches that really annoy my boyfriend. Like my son doesn’t lock the front door when he leaves or even when he returns. My son has a tendency to misappropriate (steal) food and other items. My son is generally a liar or non-communicative especially when confronted
So, you say your ex-fiance won’t marry you because he doesn’t think it would work with your 14-year-old son. Yet, a few months later, you and your 14-year-old son are living with him.
Therefore, how has he escaped dealing with your son by not marrying you? Answer: He hasn’t. He has simply escaped a legal commitment to YOU.
Everyone knows it. That’s why you are embarrassed and don’t want to be seen with him in public.
If you’re happy, then maybe you can let the marriage thing go and just be happy to be in a relationship? With love, support, and sex?
Wait. How the fuck can your son STEAL food? Do you restrict his food intake. Lemme guess! This is all Mr Wonderful’s idea. What the fuck is wrong with you?
My brain literally twitched when I read about stealing food. What the fuck is going on in your household? Teenaged boys are notorious eating machines. If you’re restricting his food for anything other than a medical purpose that you’ve gotten a second opinion on you are abusing your son. Maybe you should be embarrassed about THAT because trust me honey, there’s no way you’re dating down unless you’re a necrophiliac who’s gone grave digging.
I hope it’s just that there’s food that’s designated for / belongs to your ex-fiancé and the boy is eating it instead of what you provide for him.
I have reasonable expectations for my son. He should wake himself take a shower, put on clean clothes everyday and catch the school bus. If all of that gets done without my intervention, I could care less about the door being unlocked.
There is always food in the fridge. There are healthy options like yogurt, deli meats and cheeses, leftovers. My son knows that making chocolate chip cookies with the cookie dough tub or eating the Haagan Dazs bars is not allowed. My son will eat something he knows he not allowed to eat in excess only to claim he is not hungry at dinner and then wakeup after midnight to raid the fridge again.
No way. We have things stepson isn’t allowed to eat. Our things. Otherwise no one would ever eat anything but broccoli in this house. If he sees a sweet he will not eat one but all. So that part is not a bad thing juliecatherine. Stepson also gets into shit if he does eat it. He has his own stuff we don’t touch as well.
