Married 1 month; ready for separation!!!
Hello there, please HELP!
I got married a month ago to who I thought & is a great, kind, generous man but with no spine. He is 41 with two kids by two different women. His oldest is 19 from his ex girlfriend and his 9 year old is by his ex wife who is an EVIL SPIRIT! He pays $750 month for his 9year old and gets her spring, summer & Christmas at which he pays additional $550 month to get her here and pay for a least one week of camp. He makes $60k and we split household bills where he moved into my already established home. He is in debt and works a part time to make loose ends somehow meet with an extra $200 month. My problem is 1) I'm splitting household bills as his wife 2) He excuses pop up visits by his ex wife who shows up when she pleases from FL and puts his child up to calling knowing he's going to jump to see his child every chance he gets. A week before the wedding, he spoke with his ex and explained he would not be able to get his daughter during the summer as he had for 6 years. She sent her here to stay with her sister knowing he would want to see her. I insisted she spend the night over her aunt's inspite of him picking her up. I have encouraged a legal vistitation agreement at which he started but not completed nor mentioned it. He allows his ex wife to control him. During pop visits in town, he drops everything to see his child and expects me to do the same. How do I handle this? I'm frustated because, he's got $750 going out every month, summers he reduces hours; yet ex still receives check and he can't afford to do no more than split my household bills. A week before wedding his ex was fussing him out and called me a BITCH at which he didn't cover me, because she hung up. Two weeks later, he speaks to her and tells her to apologize to me. NOT!!! Not to mention, I have a 16 year old who he can't help provide (luckily she recieves half of the child support he pays.) Can I do bad by myself? Or love conquers all? What should I do? DId I mention he could barely pay half on household bill? Did I tell you I don't see anywhere I nor my teen have benefited by me getting married to a "push over", ungrateful self.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
