Your first mistake was still being in the house relaxing and talking to her. You need to learn that women won't come out in the yard, garage, or shop very often so that's where you soend time.

This turns into an argument about me being selfish and unable to not think about myself, can’t put the kids first, etc.

You’re acting like she asked you to view a video of her rapist. OK, he’s an ex, and you’re with her now. Who gives a shite?

It was several videos, all about 1 minute long.

Figured if I didn't politely say I would rather not watch I'd be in line for all of them.


God forbid she asks you to watch 7 minutes worth of videos about her kids. Really, just break up with her and next do one of the following:

A) Date women with no kids.
B) Go gay for a while.

Seriously, I am not skilled at dealing with women and their emotions, but you clearly fricked up hardcore here.

I’m sorry, but you’re simply an idiot. This something a 16 year old would know what to do. I’m sorry, but this should be the thought process of any sane man when it comes to this “OK, whatever, she loves her kids and misses them, so I’ll watch 5 minutes worth of clips of her kids happy on Christmas, and while I’ll be mildly annoyed now, we’ll have some really hot sex later tonight and she’ll rant and rave during it on how I’m a great stepfather and then I get off in her.”

You clearly are not ready to be a stepfather or with women in general. Just end it and mature when it comes to this. She’ll hold this over you for years.

Dude even when she’s fricking 90 and her kids have grandkids, she will be somewhat distraught not spending Christmas with them. It was a simple test and you failed it gloriously.

Learn this phrase well: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Now she thinks you don’t give a flying frick about her kids (which is probably true), and you’re not going to be able to recover from that.

Her loving you and enjoying her kids having a healthy relationship with their father are not mutually exclusive things.

In 9 pages, I hope someone pointed out the OP essentially made the video of her kids about him.

My stepdad married my mom who had 3 young kids and he was one of the greatest men I ever met. Some men aren't little bitches.

You aren't a step parent. You're mom's boyfriend. You probably weren't the first and you won't be the last.

First, you are a pussy. Second, maybe he is not as big of a deadbeat as she leads you to believe. Third, run for the fricking hills if y’all are arguing about this, after just a year and a half.

Yea you’re wrong. If you’re into her, then you’re into the kids. She wanted you to see the kids, not the guy even she doesn’t like.

If the ex's intention was for the mother to see their children happy on Christmas morning, he would have sent a video of the children that did not include him, the slacker ex. He wanted to include himself in her Christmas morning and she is not so sour on him as she says or she would have noticed that. Her re-action to the video with him in it would have match the way the speaks about him. She too would wonder why he has to be in her children's Christmas morning video. So ask yourself why her reaction doesn't match her words. Could be she's more forgiving than she let's you know, which should be a good thing . .. or she
