I don’t think either of us are “changed” as you said. She just has some deep seaded resentments towards me, that I feel for the most part are unwarranted. But those are her feelings and I acknowledge them.



Definitely more to the story than you’re letting on and it sounds like you’re looking for an out and trying to justify it to us. It might not be worth saving, we can’t be the judge of that. I would definitely go to counseling with her though before making rash decisions.

I’m 27. She’s 29.

She's mad you haven't proposed.

She is nearing 30, has a child, but no husband.

No job, so she sits home comparing herself to her newlywed friends and happy families on FB. Dumb, but probably true.

How's the sex life? A great sex life usually will supersede any other problems.

Long term relationships begin with a decision and a commitment to stay together. That happy feeling you get from “being in love” comes and goes. You must have an intentional decision that you are both committed that you will stay together.

Sounds like the OP and his girlfriend have never done this.

AND the road to poverty for women and children.


Period.



Yep. Thank you. Can't be stated enough.

Single parent homes are devastating to the welfare of a child, according to statistics.

Poverty, juvenile delinquency, early pregnancy, abuse, drug use, dropping out of high school, all the bad shite. The chances of this happening to your kid shoot through the roof.

Her marijuana intake is either too low or too high. I wouldn't want to offer any further diagnosis without pics.

You and I have the same view on this. Glad I'm not the only one.

When the love of your life grows up, would you be happy with some guy using her as a cum dumpster for years. Then knock her up and not commit to her. Newsflash - babies change relationships, and the mother usually bears the brunt of caring for the child. You sound like a selfish person. Time to grow up, baw.

Yeah, but you're a real man. One sniff of your manscent and she'd be in the kitchen in a sundress and apron with no panties.

Never stay with someone because of the kids. I made that mistake a long time before I wised up

When I had my own general practice, I would ask domestic clients, "Is he/she a good parent?" Invariably they would answer, "Yes." I would say, "Good. Because you're hiring me and paying me, so you're my client. But up front I'm telling you that I'm an advocate for the best interests of these children, and I'm not willing to get into a nasty war because of unresolved disputes between the adults. I will represent your interests to the best of my ability, within the confines of the law, but I'm not going to advocate for anything that fractures the relationship between the children and the other parent. If you agree to that, then I'm willing to represent you."

Whatever you do don’t listen to the guy who said you can’t love your kids more than your wife. That guy might be retarded if that’s the way he views his kids vs his ole lady.

Yeah I just feel like we are chasing our tail. She wants me to do more around the house, I want her to talk to me and not yell and go crazy. (There are a few other things that are in the reg arguments as well)And my head is saying to me (which I don’t say out loud) I work and pay for pretty much everything, I feel like she should do most of the house hold stuff, but maybe that’s just old school thinking. She makes a little extra money cleaning houses on the weekends that my family hooked her up with. You are right about it being more than we expected, but I just feel like she’s got it good. She doesn’t really have to work, not pay any bills, I started my own company out here and take care of her, brand new house, I don’t know. I’d think she be kind of grateful but those times of gratitude are few and far between.




So she is still legally single at 29 and now stuck at home all day with a baby that again...she isn't even married to the father of. Because she doesn't work she feels even more trapped because you control all the money. Yet she isn't even married to you so she doesn't even get the security of that. She has no protection if you decided to come home one day and kick her out. If she can only clean houses for money she clearly has no real education or job skills.


Yet you wonder why she feels depressed. I feel depressed for her just reading that paragraph.

Lol yeah I didn’t pay that comment any mind. Bc I’ve never felt the way I did when I held her for the first time. She’s my light.

Yeah, it seems they don't realize that, no matter what happens in court, they STILL have to deal with each other. If you hire an attorney and he just goes all bulldog in court, kicking arse and taking names, the CLIENT is the one who has to live with the mess, to pick up the pieces.
