I’m a 26 M from the UK and I have 2 and a half year old son and I’ve been separated from his mum for 2 years now and we have the worst relationship due to her selfishness and me not giving her what she wants. I already give her a lot my money than I should do monthly and now she says I’m selfish because I won’t give up and let her change his last name to hers. I didn’t get a say in his first name, his middle name or his religion all I have is that he shares my last name. Now his mum has said she won’t be able to have anymore kids because she doesn’t want them to have different last names and ..read more

So tldr version of backstory me (40m) and ex (38f) were together 12 years. Last year we both decided to try going polyamorous and talk with other people and see if we really wanted to continue. Well she ended up moving out and living with this other couple and trying to get her career going. Other couples guy she claimed was her twin flame and best friend and she didn’t want anything to do with me again we wouldn’t cuddle and when I was having breakdowns and mental health issues she ignored me blah blah. Things started going wrong and she was guilt tripping me or at least I feel it was guilt ..read more

Backstory: me and my ex have usually had a good relationship but one piunt of contention has been her lack enthusiasm to make more money and excel in her career. I helped her finish her undergrad and have the kids 50% of the time. I've tripled my salary since our divorce and went to night school to finish my masters. She just recently took a 10k paycut to secure a comfy work from home job. This has put a stain on our relationship. He current partner is a rich lawyer who can subsidize her life. Just feels like child support laws work against the h bigger earning parent when it's a 50/50 situat ..read more

Look at my last posting for context, if you want it. Currently… I am 17K into fighting for my son…. I’ve lost more than I have gained so far. How much can I expect to have to invest into this thing. Mother’s state, abusive mother, lies in her affidavit’s, motions, discovery. Completely fabricated texts, photos etc have been produced. We have brought proof of the lie and it gets ignored etc. Has anyone fought this? How much did it cost you? How do I withdraw my 401-K in order to pay for my lawyer, because I can’t sustain much more of this. submitted by /u/Bronzyjpg12 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So about 1.5 months ago me and the mother of my son broke up. It is what is and I would be lying if I said it didn’t feel a little bit like a burden was lifted. However, we are still living with each other until I move into my new place in June. My problem is that she thinks everything I do is someway to undermine her or upset her. I just don’t know what to do because I want to spend time with my son but I don’t really want to see her face. (Not in a rude way). There is a lot more there as well, I think she gets upset because she currently isn’t working so she watches our baby throughout the ..read more
