O/T Phones

Winterglow's picture

I've seen tons of posts where the stepparent and their spouse cannot take the phone away from the skid because it belongs to BM. Well, today, I saw a meme that had the perfect solution. You take the phone and enter 3 random passwords until the phone locks for 8 hours. YES!! 

NSR. I just realized that I never asked my XW why she wanted a divorce.

When she informed me, all I said was "Go file."

Between CPEs to renew my professional cert I have been binge watching reels and clips.  One I saw today is a man whose DW is handing him divorce papers which include a CS agreement for a kid that is not his. They met when the kid was 7. No adoption.

My SO may have hero complex

We live in Western NC and as many have seen on the news, it is utter devastation. We are alive and well as are our loved ones and no major damage other than a roof leak and a little flooding in the basement. We are the lucky ones and the few. So many have lost everything including their lives. No one could have ever expected this...not like this. 
 

SD games are cracking

So managed to finally show my DH how SD is manipulative and it's not me being crazy. 
Basically she applied false nails on herself and told SS12 they were real and not to tell DH and myself. Of course SS being SS, immediately pulled me aside as soon as we got home from picking them up and told me. I actually have no effs anymore what she does from BMs, and trained myself pretty hard to not react so I said 'oh? Why would we care?' And he shrugged and I shrugged and walked inside. He told DH and he wasn't phased either. 
 

OT How Do You Choose?

Lillywy00's picture

Have y'all ever been in a position where you had to choose between one man (or woman) and another man (or woman)?

What helped you make the choice? And had the choice ever been hard to make?

How do you determine between divulging too much information (leaving you with zero choices) vs not divulging enough (and the prospective partners thinking you're not transparent/lying/playing games/etc)?

SD is not FIRST

Merry's picture

Well DH sure got an earful from SD. Her decision to have nothing to do with him is because he NEVER put her first and he doesn't put her first NOW. This is a grown woman with a husband and children, but apparently Daddy needs to fall at her feet.

And he's not allowed to be in touch with her children because she doesn't want them to feel the way she has felt her WHOLE LIFE. I'm

She's delusional, and narcissism comes to mind.

Marked safe

Little Idiot marked herself safe from Milton. Even though she wasn't anywhere near the tornadoes or hurricane damage. Maybe they got some localized street flooding. 

Knowing her she probably was all upset she didn't get a ton of people messaging her saying "OMG ARE YOU OK?!?!?!" so she had to go fishing for it on social media. (Not many relatives commented.. a few did)

DH didn't even reach out. At first I was a little shocked but then I thought well he watched the news closely though and he obviously must have determined there was nothing going on in her area. 

A new step in StepLife

SS26 is getting engaged next weekend.  Well he is asking her anyway.

Her parents and the mothers boyfriend are to attend as well, but it will awkward for them three. Seems they cant be in the same room without arguing.

We don't really know the parents too well.  We have tried on multiple occasions to engage them in conversations but it always goes like this:

Us:  so how are you?

Them: fine

Us: great, so (insert any question at all here to try to get to know them)

Them: answers and then walks away.
