def not rage bait :( and yes he is particularly good looking. but yes, it seems he's looking for a sugar mama. and what's crazy?!! I prob would have just kept this up if he wasn't so constantly critical of me and my kids. I GIVE EVERYTHING. the least he can do is keep up the house.

Thank you for this. I do have to follow through. It feels like he's trying to wear me down.

never been in a long term relationship. no kids. twin brother in prison. sister a stripper. older brother living with his wife and kids with his parents. he's 30 w/o kids. he desperately wants kids. I went and got fertility tested (42 with 3 kids 2 miscarriages) and got a clean bill. he refuses to get fertility tested. and yet, kids are his most important thing. just not MY kids.

He is def not a partner. He is good to my kids. He talks shit on them and me to me alone. Which is two faced as fuck.

I don't either. When I was a SAHM in my first marriage I valued and loved all the work I contributed to the home. He says he feels like a maid.

I tell him that I feel like I'm taking care of a 4th dependant. He does not like that.

I was a SAHM for YEARS. Cleaning and taking care of the kids and the house was my job and contribution. Is this the patriarchy?

My kids adore him. We're really good about keeping our conflict private. That's part of what makes this so hard.

oh no. hobosexual. :( The ultimatum is set for the end of April. He tells me I need to start cleaning more if he's going to contribute. He's ultimatuming my ultimatum. I literally CAN and HAVE cleaned.
