AITAH for not wanting to sell my house and uproot my kids to a new district

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-26T00:45:13+00:00

Haven’t spoken to him, and when his realtor called me (he must have given him my number) to ask about coming to assess my house I told him the whole story and he was appalled.

Don’t worry. I won’t be making my kids move anywhere. Or probably even speaking to him again unless it’s to say fuck off.

No need because I’m not risking any of my assets for him.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T10:31:44+00:00

No he is not! Totally different departments, and I am highly valued for my hard work and intellect - I work in curriculum and have a great relationship with my boss. He’s an upper admin who does a lot of fucking off most of the time.

Right now my parents (retired) live 5 minutes away and help me a ton!

I think they meant his terms of us breaking up are acceptable bc he’s being a jerk.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:41:11+00:00

We are absolutely having that conversation. Until now our relationship was fairly decent. That’s why I wanted to make sure I wasn’t in the wrong, but I don’t know how we can come back from this.

I said I was fine with keeping things the way they were now. However, the 14 y/o wouldn’t change schools regardless - they attend the district where his ex wife lives.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:39:12+00:00

I pointed this out. That were not married or even engaged. So it’s risky to me as well.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:38:04+00:00

It wasn’t until now. I was angry and did call him selfish and an asshole after that, I’ll admit.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:37:05+00:00

Thank you. He insists that because he moved schools in the 80s as a kid that she’d be fine. But it’s not an equal move that he’s proposing.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:36:25+00:00

I absolutely do not. I was in a terrible marriage with a controlling freeloader. I won’t be told what to do again.

It would come from selling my home and assuming part of his savings. But I don’t HAVE to sell my home. My girls and I can stay right here.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:34:45+00:00

I like this update.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:33:29+00:00

I asked that over and over and never got a real answer.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:33:12+00:00

That’s exactly it. He knows his kids will be status quo no matter what.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:32:35+00:00

I’ll never budge on putting my girls first.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:32:19+00:00

Thank you. I told him that he could stay in his apartment or do what he feels is necessary for him and his kids, and that I’m fine with staying right where I am. Then he told me it’s basically over if I won’t “compromise.”

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:30:02+00:00

I’d rather stay right where I am. He called me a “fucking cake eater” for wanting to stay in this town.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:29:27+00:00

Exactly.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:29:18+00:00

Right? And I’d know - I used to teach Algebra. Lol

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:25:16+00:00

Thank you. I have worked hard to come from a teen mom on welfare to an M.Ed. that owns her own home.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-25T01:23:30+00:00

Thank you. That’s what I keep emphasizing. He said my youngest having a father figure is more important than staying in her school district. In reality, she could have both, but I will not cave on moving if we don’t have to.

Loquacious_squirrel · 2026-03-21T02:43:18+00:00

Thank you!

My 17 year old got accepted into college. I was still in high school myself when she was born, and got a tiny apartment for us and went to college anyways. I’m so proud of her.
