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

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.

He can take his kids while the ex gets her poop in a group. He is not responsible for her. If the boyfriend is bringing the ex back into his home, chances are they aren't over.

Well he is responsible for his kids, and maybe separating his children from their mother isn't in their best interest. Responsible for her or not doesn't matter. The kids do.

Or maybe he's a nice guy and they split on friendly terms? Why do people always assume that "divorce" means screaming rage laced with sexual overtones? Not everyone hates their ex, and not everyone who doesn't will jump in their pants when they stand too close together.

What the ****? Do it for his children, leave that jealousy and suspicion behind for a while.

I agree with him 100%. I'm the father of two lovely children, and if shit hits the fan with my wife, if it came to keeping a roof over their heads and a jealous woman? The latter can take das boot. My kids take precedence over pussy.

I see your point. But being a girlfriend to a divorced man with a child, i feel like this situation could very well create a lot of confusion for the children involved. I hope the ex really has nowhere else to go and isn't just using the situation to her advantage.

Regardless of the status of separation, if you know a man is married then you don't touch him until he's not. Just my opinion though.

I definitely think that OP has cause for concern. I mean how easy would it be for OP's boyfriend to say 'ok let's just forget the divorce', and to get back with his wife now that she is in such close proximity? But, I also think that if OP wants a strong relationship that she should trust her boyfriend. Good luck!

The chances of this happening are about as high as him drunkenly hooking up with a stranger at a bar. Either you trust someone or you don't.

I may end up sounding like a hard ass, but OP, YDI for dating a still-married guy.
