My boyfriend and I have both been previously married and he has three kids, two that still live at home with their mom. I love him and the kdis very much, but lately I feel as if we can't move on because there is always something that needs to be done for the kids. I know this sounds awful but I will explain, before him and his wife split they were in the process of working on an addition to their house, well when things were being finalized he made a promise to finish the addition. And I respected him for wanting to hold true to his promise but that was until it became a continuing process, first she complained about the siding needing completed and then it was a porch so that the girls wouldn't fall coming in and out of the laundry room door, and now it the inside. What ruffles my feathers so bad is that she wanted to keep the house, so to me since he signed the deed over to her that is her responsibility. Another thing is that next week will be a year since their divorce and she still hasn't removed his name from the utilities at the house so therefore she is letting them go and ruining his credit along with hers. But when I mention it, I hear well she doesn't have the money to change them over, but yet she can afford to take the girls on vacation in june. Now, something is wrong with this picture. She is the worlds greatest manipulator, she had the man completely convinced that if he divorced her that his family would have nothing to do with him and that no one would want him, and he believed it. I am younger than he is, and I guess my outlook is a little different, but I feel that it is time to stand up to her and move on with their lives and stop using the kids as a crutch. But since I am only a girlfriend I don't feel that its my place. What should I do?

Honey, your boyfriend needs to get a backbone and move on. If he doesn't do it soon, I advise you to get out of the relationship as soon as possible. It's hard enough to deal with ex-wives and step-children, but when the ex-wife's needs are the priority...it just won't work. Trust me.

One year is sufficient time to wrap up obligations and promises. If he can't see that, then this will not be the only conflict you two will have. You may be younger than him, but your position is very fair and rational. Don't get sucked into an unhealthy dynamic.

It doesnt cost any money in my state to take someones name off a utility bill? Good luck, I agree completely with Texasmom
