nubsty Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I’m seeing a girl right now. Fairly smart and, in no small degree, has her act together. She appreciates me. I know has had a history of attaching herself to jerks and losers, guys that treat her like garbage, mentally or physically, or total screw-ups. And she’s been married three times. At present, one of her ex-hubbies is currently living on her couch! It is platonic. I believe her. I think. But he is the father of her daughter. The louse is a chronic alcoholic and on criminal probation for robbery. Her daughter loves him, so she tolerates it to keep the peace. I've voiced my opinions and concerns on this matter more than once. Last time she got defensive and even appeared to gaslight me some. Recently he got a DWI while on probation. So he’s in potential violation and facing jail time. She has filled me in on her past life, and it has been tragic, to say the least. Is she just drawn to this drama because that’s the norm for her? Like all she knows? Anything better she feels undeserving of? Gut instincts all over the place. Need neutral advice. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

When we first met she told me he was in the process of looking for his own place. Then the supposed DWI happened so now he's going to have legal expenses. I know....a mess. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

S2B Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 No! Do not keep seeing her! She doesn’t have a boundary that keeps her safe/keeps the crap at bay and she doesn’t know how to DO what’s right! she brings a known criminal in and keeps him in her home. She is a huge enabler. It doesn’t matter that he’s the father - HE SHOULD BE setting a GOOD example of what a father looks like! Instead he’s sleeping at her place and getting drunk and a DUI. This drama probably always will be normal to her. you do NOT want that in your life! How long have you been seeing her? How many kids does she have? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

preraph Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 If it wasn't during the pandemic her ex would go back to jail but not necessarily for very long. I doubt they jail him now though. I don't see why you would want to stay in this situation. Link to post Share on other sites

At least where we live. I can't find a notification of his arrest. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, but strikes me as a bit odd. Either he is conning her or her me given the fact that she said he was planning to move soon. Even did the online background check. Nothing Link to post Share on other sites
S2B Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 She’s bad news. Why do you want to waste any more energy on her? He is never going away - they have a child together. She likely has another guy to contend with for the other child. why not date a gal without all this baggage? Link to post Share on other sites

So I wouldn't expect to see it immediately. Link to post Share on other sites

S2B Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) A gal with this much crap going on HAS to be good for sex! Otherwise you wouldn’t stick around! it won’t last. I’m wondering what she’s gonna use you for. you better be wearing a condom EVERY time! do NOT believe her when she says she’s on birth control!

Author nubsty Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Oh yeah, she's hot to trot. But she's always set off my radar. That's why I'm posting on a relationship forum for the first time in my life. Very first time. AND, just tonight, she came over to my place, her car was missing he took it! She didn't know where he was. I inquired 'well howcome you are over here? Shouldn't you be trying to get to the bottom of this?' Acting very nonchalant about it. Hour or so later, her daughter calls her cell phone, F-head returned home and passed out again on the floor, stoned cold drunk. Paramedics were called and now he is in the hospital. More on this tomorrow.... Link to post Share on other sites

deepthinking Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 3 Weddings?! Not just 3 LTRs that didn't last, but 3 attempts to settle down. I think she likes variety, and the celebrations, but lacks substance. Link to post Share on other sites
Author nubsty Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 The Ex spent part of the night in the hospital then 'checked himself out' approx 3 am or so. According to what I'm told. They can't hold you that long for that. Came into her bedroom upon return and asked where the vodka was. It'll be an interesting day for sure..... Link to post Share on other sites

Red flags all over the place.. too many to even know when to start. Run. That was my thought, too. This woman has been married a total of 3 times. That’s 3 marriages she couldn’t work out. If she’s so smart, why couldn’t she learn from the first time around? Not only that, but she’s not done with her last marriage. No matter what she says, she is still emotionally tied to that relationship. Her life is an absolute mess. You also don’t know what these men in her life are capable of doing. I’m willing to bet she’s surrounded by people who are shady because of her exes. The most recent one has a criminal record and recently stole her car! This aren’t red flags, this is entire forest blazing right before your eyes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
