Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

Yes he should be worried. If car payments are not made, he is liable.
A repo is a repo and it will
A repo is a repo and it will destroy his credit if BM decides to stop paying on the loan. I'd call the bank that has the loan if I were him and him.
BM's credit would also go in
BM's credit would also go in the crapper.
His primary concdern should
His primary concdern should be that his EX continues to make on time and regular payments on this loan he cosigned.
He may be concerned about a mechanical issue if he thinks that it will result in..
1. BM stopping her payments to spend her money on something that will provide transportation.
2. the car being forced back on hm by BM with threats of take it and pay for it or it gets repoed.
Yes.. in both situations.. BM risks dings on her credit too.. but she may care.. a lot less... and not be as responsible.. hence the need for a cosigner for that car.
The best thing he can do is to ensure he has access to the finance website so he can check that payments are being made.. that is more important than whether the car runs.. at least for him.
I feel a little jealous
I feel a little jealous because I feel like he will always be there to support her in any situation.
