HYS Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I have posted threads regarding the struggles in my relationship and I'm very frustrated due to the current situation and would just need to vent! My BF and I have been arguing alot in the past 6 months and even more in the past 3 weeks. The recent arguement started in the begining of Sept. My BF has a 8 year old that he shares 50/50 with his ex wife but recently that has switched to 80/20 due to her busy schedule...she is a very irresponsible. My time with my BF went from Wed-Sun to just weekends. (We typically spend the weekdays at my house and weekends at his.) I do understand his son come first. We planned a 1 week vacation in feb but have not booked anything yet. due to his change in custody I searched for time where it would work best for him but the reality is that he will need to find someone for his son mon-thur. I asked him over and over if he is ready to book our vacation and he assured me everything will be fine but when it came time to book our vacation.....he didnt' want to commit. I was very disappoint but understands. I understands our lives will change this year due to the situation with the custody but I'm so bitter that his ex wife could decide that she no longer can care for her son during the week and it could affect our lives. Sorry this so long but I just needed to vent!
ed-205 Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 I can relate. My wife left the kids with me, and over the following year spent a grand total of about 5 days with them. The point is, you can't force her to be responsible, (well, maybe legally you can, but would you *want* to?). I suggest that you plan your vacation to include the child as much as possible. I know that changes everything, but it's better than no vacation at all. God bless you for your patience!
