Lol. yeah. this time it is my turn i guess.
Any advice would be appreciated. Ok, so, my wife and i have been together almost 2 years and married for half a year. We have a 7month old son together, and she has a 6 year old from a prior relationship. The father of the 6yr old is basically garbage. total dead beat dad, he has done absolutly nothing for this kid as far as i know since he was born. Anyways, my wife was with him when she was a bit younger. Still in highschool. They were together untill she got pregnant then he split on her. He gives no money to help riase his son, he didnt even call his son on his birthday He has been in and out of jail for selling meth, he recently violated his parole and was back in, and is now back out on probation. So now he is outm, and of course he messages my wife, and she responds. she manages to piss him off a couple times, he calls back occasionally wanting to talk. Now, i am in NO way worried about losing her to him, but honestly im annoyed she is talking to him. He hasnt done jack shit to be her sons father. I have done more for that kid in the past year than his own dad has done his whole life. I AM that kids dad now. The problem here is she wont cut off ties to him. He is not on his kids birth cert, he never does anything, he really has NOTHING to do with his kid. She says it is cause she "wants answers" and im saying after 6 years, what the hell kind of answer is there? He is a dirtbag, there is yer answer. She says she wants closure. Anyways, we got in an arguement because somebody told her i was bugged that this guy is calling and i dont really feel she is taking me or my feelings into consideration. she is digging for answers in a dry well. This guy has none. And i am worried that if she hasnt found the answers in 6 years, is she gonna continue to talk to this guy for the next 6 years? and another 6 after that? any advice on this? As far as his "rights" to see his son, this guy is a alleged "blood", and supposedly got "Jumped black" so he isnt white anymore? he sells meth to minors, is in and out of jail, and has absolutly NOTHING he could offer his son except a hard life. Rebecca and i are even planning to have me adopt her son because this guy isnt on the birth cert. I really want him out of the picture for good. If he wants to give some money over to help pay food his sons food and clothing, then i guess he should have some rights to see him, but so far he has done fucko. |

I don't know man...you're in sorta a tough spot. If he's a "Blood" then quite frankly I'd be affraid to even have him in the childs life, along with you and your wifes. Sit down and talk to your lady and tell her exactly how you feel that you view the guy as a threat to the child. If she has any common sence...she'd know that. Take it one step at a time and shut the guy out of your life, your wifes life and your sons life. He hasn't been there in the past...why do you need him now???

I disagree with street. First of all you've done more for her than the dead beat. You are now her husband and as so it gives you a right to tell her to not speak to him. I would tell her, find him, talk to him and get the "closure" you seek. After that's been taken care of, demand that she doesn't speak to him ever again. I'd be pissed as hell if my wife was still talking to her ex....but that's just me..

Oh I totally understand what you're saying street. But Jack's married and has a family he needs to watch out for. I'm not saying he needs to buy his wife a shock collar or anything...but his wife should atleast have some common sence to know that the guy is a threat to her well being and her sons. If the guy made some effort to reach out and be a dad...then I'd say ya...but like Jack said the guy belongs to one of the most nitorious gangs in the US. He's gone to jail on parole violations...he's obviously unstable and quite frankly isn't ready to help raise a kid. If he did a turn around and satyed off the streets...held a job...wasn't in a gang...and sent a few dollars to help out...then ya, the guy would have every right to see his kid.

How much of how you feel have you told her thus far Jack? You don't have to be specific just give us an idea of what these arguments usually cover. On a side note I'm a firm believer that if you tell someone exactly what you are feeling and why you feel that way things generally work out. To begin with though don't make any demands or ultimatums. Figure out exactly what she wants aswell. ask what kind of answers is she expecting.
P.S. never raise your voice it only pushes women to argue harder. Quiet voices without anger means feelings usually don't get hurt. God I sound gay

I have no idea...but I do know that he can't let someone like that just walk in and subject all his problems onto a kid that's at the age where he won't understand. Jack my freind...you are in a tough spot

I think you're right. what can Jack do? not much other than convey his feeling to his wife and hope she understands. In the end though, the best way is to tell her once and then drop it....the deadbeat wants to cause stress between Jack and his woman, so the goal should be to not let him win...pretend he doesn't exist as best as possible.

Well, first off,
This guy, Kobe is his name, in my view is nothing but as bitch, he doesent scare me one bit. If he ever came to my house i would immediatly mace him then start working his face with a tire iron. i dont believe in fighting fair. He claims to have been jumped in as a blood, he is also white and claims to be black saying he got jumped black..... i wouldnt be overly suprised that me misunderstood and diddnt get jumped in, but just got jumped. The impression im getting is he is a total wannabe, he has some loser friends and may have gotten themselves jumped into the bloods but i dont think he has any pull or is really a hardcore gangbanger. He is a criminal, but he is no mastermind, he is far from brilliant, and while any retard can pull a trigger, i thnk that is far beyond where he would be willing to go. Streetracer is right to a degree, if i get on her ass and yell ay her, she will continue to do it anyways, but do it behind my back. This is absolutly cannot allow as it will stasrt to cause some trust issues, if she does this i want her to tell me about it. However, i dont want this dirtbag involved in our lives. I am planning to adopt his son, he isnt on the birth cert, and once i adopt him i expect this guy to fuck off permanantly. We could always threaten him with child support, but if he starts paying that gives him some rights as a father. My job right now with both kids is to help them with life lessons and instill in them a good moral compass, however, this guy has the potential to really screw things up. ......."awww nawz suns, you dont need ta listen to dat bitch, he aint yo daddy im yo daddy" I told her that i dont think she will ever get answers or closure, i told her closure is gained at funerals, not by cheap escuses of deadbeat dads. Im not forbidding her from doing anything because i dont want to be in the situation streetracer is talking about. I want to be clear on one thing, there is ZERO chance she would leave me for this guy. She realizes he is a 2 bit bitch and she cant stand him, however, she cant seem to untwine herself from him because he was the sperm donor for her first kid. (apparently he used to be a decent guy when she first met him) However while im not afraid of losing her to him, i dont fucking want him around. He has never been a dad to this kid and needs to just go to hell before he causes anymore damage. I told her that if i thought for a second he could give her answers and closure that i would be behind her 100%, but i dont think she will get them, and i dont want to be putting up with him for the next 10 years. |

Just call the cops and say someone is selling meth at his address. If hes up to no good he deserves to be back in the pookie.
Somethings are best left unanswered and in the past. Why look in the past at hardships when you should be looking to the future far away from those bad times. Your wife needs to understand that there is nothing back there for her except pain so why reopen that. Joe Dirt is the best movie to watch for this concept . She needs to not waste energy on this guy and focus it on your family. If she cant understand that then their is something else happening their that she does not want you to know(like this douche is her first love and will always be therefore she always wants him in her life no matter how minimal ) or (dont take this the wrong way and no disrespect) shes just plain dumb and will search endlessly for answers that will never be there. |

Im glad to know im not the only one that thinks this is rediculous.
Welp, after arguing with her a little earlier, she messaged him that he needs to make a decision, either step up and be a real father and a positive role model in his sons life, or to go away and never return cause this on/off stuff is bad for his son and we wont tolerate it anymore. i guess he called her up. He was doing his usual crap, he asked for another chance to prove himself, and he will prove himself, but he doesent have a damn thing to prove to me. She told him "He is the one RAISING YOUR CHILD and being his role model! He is the one who puts food in his mouth and shelter over his head, he was there for him on hist birthday, christmas, and he is the one who comforted your son last night after he had a nightmare. Bullshit you dont have to prove anything to him!" so i guess something happened that never happened before. He dropped the "gangsta speak" and started talking like an adult. the guy admits he has been a lousy father, admits his life has been going nowhere and he is miserable about it. He said he wants to get his shit figured out, he wants to get out of the gang life (wannabe if u ask me) and he wants to be able to figure out how to be a dad and a good role model and show his son how NOT to turn out. And then he asked that rebecca and i BOTH give him one last chance. eh. i dunno. i would like for the guy to be a real dad for the kid, maybe take him every other weekend, whatever. but, man, people dont change very often |

Thank God shes smart and not emotional. I would give him a chance. First by providing $$ and I would double check where he works and what he does on his free time. Let him have surpervised visits until your wife,kid and you feel comfortable. After a few months I would hire a PI to verify he is clean.
