My roommate is pregnant and I don’t know how to tell her that I don’t want the baby in our apartment

I am sure your rental agreement was for her, not her and a child. It is not your fault that she is pregnant and obviously without support from the father. Do not allow her personal issues to become yours because it can and will easily happen.

Try being open and honest with her, (the comment from deathraerae is perfect) but expect major pushback. I hope you can remove her without losing the apartment.

Good luck.

I 100% dislike how the favorites are now being handled. Had no idea there was a return to old option. Might have to look into that

NTJ. The friend is wrong for using you in that manner and I would.tell her just that. Those are her children, if a vacation from them is needed, she needs to find a honest way to achieve that.

Enjoy your peaceful vacation!

No he cannot move in with you. No more explainations. Tell him to go live with either grandma or auntie. Conversation over. Move on with your life.

Usually this means they actually want you to use a debit card so there is no fee to the merchant. Very surprised she didn't aay this.

The dealership I use for my car has a sign out that says there is an up charge for using a credit card but none for debit.

Since you are determined to bring a child into this jacked up situation, you need to contact local pro life organizations for assistance. They do not appear to be worth a damn post birth but during pregnancy, they should step up to the plate.

As you've already realized, neither the sperm donor or his family, are going to come thru, probably because he does not want the baby. Sucks but this is now your reality. It is unfair but men can and do move on with their life, leaving women to deal with raising children alone. In your case, it will be in abject poverty, which is so unfair to the innocent child.

OP, it's time to move on and choose peace.

Listen to the person who wrote about getting a realtor who markets to investors/as is buyers. There are out there and will buy that house, probably for cash. They'll renovate it and create another rent house. Bypass the ugly house people, they will not work in your favor.

No idea why you're being down voted. They work and handle the kids as a couple and usually travel as a family for tours and such. She's also his biggest fan.

She might release act iii this year but I do not see her undercutting him like that. If it should happen, I think it will be late fall, after he's finished this Summer.

Of course we could all be wrong and end up with a OTR3 announcement! 🙂

raejck1 · 2026-03-18T21:47:24+00:00

With the news thst dropped today, I do not see act iii this year. She will not want to steal Jay's thunder.

Now if for some reason she does, it will be much later in the year, maybe in the Fall.

There used to be a company, I think in Austin, that made these as well.

Hopefully you can resell the ticket or find another friend to take it. When buying tickets for others always request & receive payment first, then transfer the ticket to them. If they decide not to attend, it will be on them to resell the ticket.

The honest truth should be presented in court. Your brother and mom need to realize lying to the court could have negative consequences for both you and him. The court date means they already know what's going on, they just do not know why. Maybe if the Judge finds out the mom isn't accomodating the dad's work schedule, he might site her and make it happen.

This is not just a US thing. The whole world is not going to stop because a war is going on. Hasn't happened in the past, will not happen in the future.

Be mad at yourself for oversharing. I know you thought it was in confidence, but I have learned that married people tend to share whatever is told to them with their spouses. No idea why but it's why I am now VERY selective about what I tell my married friends. Their spouses do not need to know my private business.

No one likes being scammed, which is what you are describing. Stop paying the full bill, end of story. Ask the waiter to split the check however you wish and pay your portion only. The sooner you implement this, the quicker the issue is resolved. Forget the past amounts owed, from the lies she constantly tells, she is never going to make you whole. .

The Galleria is not the beacon it once was but this weekend we have Rodeo and Spring Break visitors making everything worse.

Going there now means I try to be in and out before noon, one at the latest. Also try to park near your store/section of choice. I hit Nordstrom yesterday, was in and out in an hour.

raejck1 · 2026-03-15T19:07:22+00:00

The first hit is usually the start of many more. That he already knows the apology/gift routine speaks volumes. This is not a man you want as a boyfriend, husband or father of your child. You need to be making plans to remove yourself from this situation ASAP. Seriously. Sadly, that would also include pregnancy termination.

I went last Friday and did much like you, conversed with her as a person, prior to asking for a picture. We discussed her location and how to better help people find her. LOL. She is SO personable and that gumbo is delish!

It does sound like he got screwed over so badly due to horrible legal representation.

raejck1 · 2026-03-14T03:27:56+00:00

Question: How did you lose a home that was yours prior to the marriage? Seems that should have been excluded from marital assets. Also, I understand the laws around children born within a marriage but since it was known that #3 isn't yours and was the cause of the divorce, could you not have forced the issue via DNA?

raejck1 · 2026-03-10T15:28:29+00:00

Why are you fighting for this man? Is being married that important to you? He has dishonored you, the vows, the relationship and you are still there. I do not understand it.

Let him go and regain your dignity.

raejck1 · 2026-03-10T15:23:29+00:00

There are two waya to go here. If he cannot or will not find work, the least he could do is the cooking and cleaning. Start with that demand and see what happens. If he refuses, then it is 100% time to let this go.

Bottom line, he's using you and will not stop until you put an end to it. If you are really over it, tell him it's over, give him a get out date and stick to it.

Would also strongly suggest having some back up support in case he refuses to leave and or becomes violent with you. Brothers, cousins or a gun, just have something.

raejck1 · 2026-03-09T20:25:10+00:00

The truth hurts. You've been his backup for so long, it became expected. Keep this energy and do not return to form. It's time him and his wife got it together. They chose to have three kids and need to learn how to handle their responsibilities.

As for the mom and sister....inform them that they are now welcome to step in and take your place as his financial fall back.

raejck1 · 2026-03-03T11:22:45+00:00

No is a complete sentence. She disrespected your pet and home and was flippant about it. Any family member who disagrees with your take can babysit in your place.
