Get married and move many states away.

I don't understand why the mother wants to keep her ex-in-laws in her daughter's life. What kind of example are they setting for the child.

It sounds like the mother is addicted to drama and she will keep causing problems to satisfy that addiction.

And a policeman can cause a lot of drama for you!

P.S. Do NOT get involved with the ex in-laws. If they want to drag you into the situation, insist they handle it with the mother.


Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

I would say that you need to understand that it isn't fair to her child if you and the child get attached to one another and then you decide to walk away.


Speaking from experience, this is the most important issue, and is the ONLY thing you have control over in this situation.

Don't stick around with the plan that dad will fade away in time - it may happen, but probably won't. If you can't deal with him being a part of mom's (and your) life for the duration, then get out, and do it now.

If you see a future, and are sure about it, then understand you are making a commitment to the baby as well as mom. Don't set the kid up for heartbreak.

Don't be that guy.

As a child of parents who had step children...I suggest walking the frick away.

To much drama that will affect your relationship.

Dude, if she dated someone that is as trashy as the guy you described, then either A) she is equally as trashy, B) has horrible judgement or C) her ex looks like Brad Pitt.

So which is it?

I am married to a woman that had a daughter when we meet, who's (COP) worthless sperm donor was almost never in the picture.

If he doesn't get her when he is scheduled to now this won't be an issue.

How do you go about dealing with the other person who couldn't care less about their "responsibility"?
Only when you are forced to deal with them and I was cordial and direct.

If you do continue to date and eventually marry this woman, it will get worse. When he does see her you will now be the reason her mom and dad aren't together or at least that's what he'll tell her. Among other BS he'll tell her to divide you and the daughter and mother at times.

Yes!
