Today, my boyfriend informed me that the mother of his children, from whom he is not divorced yet, is moving back into his house because she broke up with her boyfriend and has nowhere to go. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend of 8 years moved in with two other women. He's spent the past 2 years telling me he can't afford to move out of his parent's house. FML
Today, I found out that after moving in with my mother and her boyfriend into his place two months ago, she's breaking up with him, and leaving me stuck with him. Awkward. FML
Today, I found out that after reuniting with an old boyfriend, getting close with his two year old son, and moving closer to him to properly be a part of their lives, he got back together with his ex-wife. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he’d have a surprise for me when I got home. The surprise was he’d moved out, dumped me, and cut me off from his share of the bills, because he’s not interested in marriage and babies. I can’t afford the rent by myself so I’m going to have to move back to my mother's. FML
Today, I made the mistake of telling my boyfriend I was taking my kids to my mother's until he has decided if he wants to carry on being a boyfriend and stepfather. While we were gone, he apparently realised how good his life could be without us, and dumped me. I fucked up. FML
Today, after my relationship ended in a shambles, my partner finally moved out and we were broken up, now, just as I started talking to others and feeling OK with being alone, she revealed that the break was temporary and that she has to move back in temporarily. FML
Today, I let my estranged husband move back in with my son and me. Later, his pregnant and underage girlfriend knocked on my door, crying about how her mom kicked her out. I'm such a pushover, they're in my bed and I'm on the couch. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. How? He invited my mother to his house for coffee with his parents, and told her. She then had to come home and tell me I’d been dumped. FML
Today, my boyfriend of four years broke up with me because he wanted some independence. He moved back into his parents' house. FML
Today, my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend just moved in with his mom. They've been in my face knitting and baking bread together. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I believe the technical term for that woman is, um, . . . wife.

Come on y'all. I know most of you have never been through a divorce (neither have I) but when you have kids with someone, you'll have a link to them for life. Not an emotional one necessarily, but literally you're going to have to interact with them a lot as long as your kids are minors. If you're uncomfortable with your boyfriend interacting with his soon to be ex-wife, then end it now, because it's not ever going away.

This is the first time I've ever decided I'd date someone via their comment lol but yes I agree with ^ him!

Interact with them? Yes. Move back IN with them? No. Not the same thing at all bud. My boyfriend has a child with another woman and they interact but there are lines that should not be crossed.

Should daddy interact with his kids at the homeless shelter then? It's not an ideal situation, but if bf is just offering them a roof and not trying to get back with his ex I see no issue.

He can take in the kids and make his wife or soon to be ex wife move else where
cradle6 13
111 yes I agree. Certain lines shouldn't be crossed. Like he shouldn't have sex with his ex wife. Moving in? Not ideal, but immature grudges don't help anyone. Chances are it's only temporary anyway. And unlike your personal anecdote, OP's bf was married, probably for a while if they had kids. It's better for the kids to not put their mother out on the street. Even in a divorce, it's important to TRY to stay as amicable as possible. As I said, you'll be linked forever. And to #50, I like steak, pick me up at 9.

That's a recipe for disaster!

Well said!! My point is that you shouldn't be messing with a married man!!

111 - same here. Except my boyfriend's ex comes to him with her personal problems, has suggested we all move in together, and struggles to stay in the same apartment long term despite the fact that she takes his support money and demands more on a regular basis. Starting to think this ex that's moving back in could be not all that innocent here.

My, don't you sound self-centred. She is the mother of his children. Even if he doesn't still love her it is commendable that he can set aside his feelings and give her and the kids a roof over their heads. He sounds like a great guy.
kathii01 20
Giving the kids a roof over their head is what should be done. The wife that just got dumped by her lover..... That's a hell no!!!
Torva_fml 16
7- what do you advise he tell the mother then, or his children for that matter? "sorry, I dont like mommy so she's living on the street"...
Palirose 22
Actually it's not his responsibility to take care of her. She's an adult and his ex. He's responsible to take care of the children yes. Anything that's after the children is just kindness. He really isn't responsible for his ex's life issues.

I recommend telling mommy she made her bed with another man, and it's not his problem that man kicked her out of it. Take the kids, let the wife sleep in the street. Kids arent stupid. My ex lost his house, and my kids (then 8&5) didn't expect daddy to move back in!!!!
murdersquirrel 15
Never bad mouth the other parent to your children. Im sorry, that's disgraceful.

A naked, flaming, barbed-wire, bare-knuckle, steel cage deathmatch! Also, I read 20's comment in Dale's voice.

Have sex with him as much as possible when she's there she'll leave real quick

So he's offering to house his wife and children and you're complaining? How about getting a little perspective on this, princess. These are his children. You are, for now at least, just his girlfriend. The needs of your children override any girlfriend jealousy 100% of the time. Try thinking of someone other than yourself.

you need to speak to my ex husband. he's got it the other way around.

On top of that, unless she was the reason their marriage broke up / they have been going through a crazy long divorce, OP and her dude can't have been dating for that long, putting her further down his ladder of priorities... Yo, doc bastard, what is wrapped around that guy's penis?
DocBastard 40
DrMaverick - that would be a **** ring. He was wearing it while driving...alone.
DrMaverickRanger 4
That's offensive - do you sometimes fight the urge to backhand your patients for their utter stupidity, or am I just a terrible person?
desireev 18
Well said!!!!!!!! She shouldn't be "dating" a MARRIED man anyways!!!
downtime 13
155 Theres nothing wrong with dating someone going through a divorce. Not being understanding of the situation however is an entirely different issue.
Troll_spray 6
If she ends up staying in his house too long might aswell break up with him. Save yourself from him breaking up with you on the excuse that he still has feelings for the mother of his children. Which high chance it could happen if she stays for a long period of time.

That does suck but they are still married and have children. Children come first. Hopefully they can figure something else at quick.

hateevryone 15
that's her problem. she should've had a backup plan for things like that.
RedPillSucks 33
The children are not just her responsibility. A real man doesn't want his children to go homeless. He does right by his children.
DocBastard 40
Wow I can see you're very giving, aren't you? If you're ever desperately in need, I hope someone says "No" to you so you can learn a valuable life lesson about generosity.

not like that shit was planned to happen....he is still the father of the children and IA obligated to help...if she's not secure enough or mature enough to deal with it then break up! duh……
