Would this bother you?

Re: Would this bother you?

  • I think she's a little unrealistic and instead of being ticked off about things, perhaps ask him for his input? I'm sure from his perspective, he's trying to be helpful.

    She's blowing it WAY out of proportion, there's no doubt about that.

  • I think she is being overly sensitive about it. If she didn't want to deal with this type of situation then she should not have married a man who has had children.

    I actually kind of think that its sweet that he is so excited to do it all over again. I think she is looking at it entirely the wrong way. Yes, I can see wanting to have her "moment in the sun" and individual moments etc. However, those are going to happen anyway. Her pregnancy has nothing to do with the previous woman's pg and it will be unique by its very nature. 

    She is going to miss out on the pg if she spends all of her time moping about the way her partner is behaving.

  • The smiley face overdose doesn't help make her seem more mature, neither does her complaints that her husband is basically saying, "I love being a Dad and I'm looking forward to being a Dad to our child."

    I understand her desire not to have to think about her husband's ex.  However, when you marry a divorced dad, you are accepting that you're going to have to think about his ex a lot.  It seems like maybe she didn't think about how she would handle the little things when she considered being a second wife and a step mother.  

  • If you want a man who's experiencing things with you for the first time, you should probably marry and have children with someone who's never experienced it before.  

    Is she honestly expecting him not to make ANY references to his other child's birth the entire pregnancy?  And when does that line get drawn... I'm sure he can't talk about the first birthday party, the first day of kindergarten, their prom... this chick is WAY too immature to have married someone with baggage.  This will be a recurring theme in her marriage until she grows the fvck up.

  • I would have thought this stupid before but since becoming pregnant with this baby, you know this sends me into an absolute RAGE. I mean how fuuking dare she? It would be like H expecting me to pretend I've never had another child. Besides, he isn't talking about his ex-wife. He's sharing his experiences as a father.

    The fact that she doesn't value the relationship he has with his other child says quite a bit about her character. What a baby, and a self centered hosebeast baby at that.

  • She is, but she will have one. I don't know what she expects. At some point everyone is going to compare their pregnancy to hers. And the ones that don't have kids will compare their future pregnancies to hers. Yes, it sucks that she has to hear about his ex, but he had a kid with her and the talk about the pregnancy of her SS is essential to him not feeling left out or forgotten by the new baby, which he will feel at some point.

    Honestly if it was that big of a deal to her she should have pick a father that didn't already have kids, but since she did she has to deal with it.

  • I will fully admit that I didn't have it in me to marry someone who had already been married or already had children together.  It takes a very special person to be able to accept that someone has a past that effects you every single day.  I am not built for that... neither is this moron.  The difference is that I have a modicum of self-awareness and realized that before choosing who to marry.  Oops!
