Boyfriend Cheated On Me But Gave Me The Tools To Dismantle His Life r/Relationship

[@BruinPhD2009]

My dad cheated on my mom with TWO other women at the same time and got both of them pregnant (poppa was a rolling boulder, not just a rolling stone) and they did divorce. My mother has never stood in the way of my having a relationship with my sisters, but they never set foot in the house we shared and my father was never crazy enough to ask my mother to anything for them; she would have killed him. Anyone calling the second OP petty has never experienced the pain of that kind of betrayal. It is decades later, my father is in his grave, but I know his betrayal is still one of the worst things to happen to my mother.

[@jeanetteporter8114]

Damn how is op being petty? The people saying that are idiots, they know they wouldn't do it either, some people like to act like they are such good people bullcrap, you are so right, you know it is so sad how many stories we hear on this post about cheating, marriage and committed relationship isn't for everyone, I wish people would just be honest with themselves and not drag other hearts into their lies, and stay singles

Imagine being a guy who cheats on his, now ex, wife and has an affair child and demands the ex wife to pay for his child to go to Disney Land… if he wants his kid to go, he pays for it as he is the only one responsible financially for his existence

[@frazzledhaloz3184]

Not a hope in h*ll!

[@hlcooper]

I noticed as well that there was no offer on the Ex's part to pay for his kid to go and cover expenses it sounded like he expected OP to foot the bill

[@lanuit1978]

What if something happens and the child needs to be hospitalized? Who's responsible? No way I would have this responsibility for a child not my own

[@destinysphinx27]

dude is probably trying to use the kid so he's got OP as a babysitting/financial cruch until he can find someone to give him anothe kid. If I was OP I'd move and have him pay child support yes it would be rough on OPs son to loose a friend but it can't be easy or healthy being that guys fall-back family whan his affairs don't work out

[@ScooterBond1970]

Reminds me of the recent story where a woman wouldn't let her (ex?) partner's affair baby call her mamma. Because that's not her child. Yes, one feels sorry for the child; but this whole situation is entirely the fault of the cheater. So let him take responsibility for it.

[@AndyyWithAY]

Story 2 the nerve of this tool! He cheats on his wife AND fathers another child. OP's already been gracious enough to be civil with the ex and the half-brother. He is so out of pocket!

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

I know right? It takes a special amount of entitlement to expect your ex to play happy families with you again when you betrayed them. Seriously, you'll be lucky if your ex doesn't hate your guts and even forgives you.

[@marshawargo7238]

She should tell her "friends" THEY should take the boy to Disney! Since she has as much connection to him as She Does! Not my kid, Not my responsibility!

[@TsukiKageTora]

She’s not even there, she abandoned her child with him and dipped out of the entire relationship. You’d think he’d realize that was karma’s way of showing him what he did to OP

[@ladyv5655]

If I were the OP, I would agree to take the kid if 1) the ex doesn't get to come with them and 2) ex pays for her to take the kid. Just tell him it wil cost him half the amount she saved (however much that may be) and she'll make sure the kid gets him a nice souvenir.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

@@ladyv5655 I think that's a fair compromise. Although I bet the ex will want to try and play happy families with her, despite the fact that he lost that right when he betrayed her.

Sorry, I'm a "Scorched Earth" kinda gal, no way I'd have ever spoken words with ex again from the 1st moment I knew he was cheating, much less ever meet his affair baby.( I know it's not the babies fault, but it's also not my fault or my problem. )

[@carolroberts4614]

There was one the other day, where the op's sister's husband had a child with someone else. Then he was left to bring the child up alone, and tried to get op's family to draw the child into the family circle!

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

I never understand why cheaters expect their exes to play happy families. Like dude, you lost that right when you betrayed your partner. You can't use your ex as a safety net. That's not how relationships work.

[@Nathan_Bookwurm]

@@PrincessQ-fj9ly If they have the disrespect to cheat on you, they have the disrespect to expect you to take care of their cheating product (the child they got with affair partner). In their twisted mindset they are in their right to expect a happy family from you.

The Disney story: A very classic example of how people who are kind, good people are assumed to not have boundaries. My being kind doesnt mean you get to walk all over me when you want. I am a kind person because I am a kind person but I have limits.

[@KE-hr4sb]

S2: "He accused me of favoring my son over his half-sibling..." Well, yeah, duh; that's how that works. OP is not related to, or a step-parent of, half-sibling; of course, she favors her own kid! That's like walking up to a stranger in Wal-Mart and accusing them of favoring their kid over yours! NTA. Ask the flying monkies if they're willing to eat the extra costs, and take a child that is not theirs to Disney Land, and be responsible for said child. Watch them scramble and try to come up with excuses as to why they can't, or shouldn't have to, then look them in the eye until they get it. Do not do this. Not only is it not your kid, not your responsibility, but should the kid get sick or hurt, you would be liable.

[@SilentDecepticon]

Well of course OP favours her own child over her ex’s affair child. The vast majority of people would. I’m sure that if it was OP that had an affair and a resulting child from it, the ex would be delighted to have the kid around all the time and take him on family trips as well 🙄

[@kaykay8855]

Story 2: NTA. “Accusing me of favoring my child” Umm, yeah because he’s YOUR son. Op should ask their friends/family if they’re willing to pay for their partners’ affair child to go on vacation.

[@Mewse1203]

Stpry 2: NTA I started laughing sp hard when the cheating asshat said "you're playing favorites". OF COURSE she's playing favorites between HER SON and his affair child. He is acting as if she is the half brother's parent or something. I'm glad OP is kind enough to let his brother come to her house but that doesn't obligate her to include him jn family vacations. He is her sons half brother. She isn't responsible for him in the slightest. 😄😆😂🤣

[@britnicox3929]

1: It’s so funny to me that this man thinks he’s manipulated the women he’s wronged so much that they’ll give him any leniency! Even *after* they made him homeless he still expected her to not tell people about it out of consideration for his feelings. And he really thought OP would care about whether or not he was angry, or even care about him saying she was beautiful or that he felt sorry. Absolute idiot.

[@WhitneyDahlin]

THIS is it why you have to be so careful with who you choose to have children with. Who you CHOOSE to have children with is the biggest, most important decision, with the most extreme consequences you will make in your entire life. Period. You are PERMANENTLY tying your life to theirs until the day you die and guaranteeing you will be forced to interact with them for at least the first 18 years, longer if they have kids. Just because you love someone doesn't mean you should have kids with them. JUST BECAUSE YOU LOVE SOMEONE DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD HAVE KIDS WITH THEM, JUST BECAUSE YOU LOVE SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY WILL MAKE A GOOD PARENT. You HAVE carefully consider all of your partners flaws and think about whether they will actually make a good parent because they will NOT magically change personalities the second they have a child. If they are lazy, irresponsible, selfish etc. now that will NOT change. Having a bad or uninterested parent will screw your child up for life. They will carry those scars with them and it will affect them for the rest of their life. And that will be on you. It will be your fault for deciding to have children with someone just because you love them without actually considering if they would make a good parent. Having kids is a very serious and the most life changing decision you will make in your life. And you're an idiot if you make it based solely off of love and emotions instead of logic. You OWE it to your future kids to give them the best life they can possibly have and the best parents they can possibly have. Please don't make this decision lightly. Don't have kids with someone who is lazy or a deadbeat or selfish or whom you haven't known for very long. This isn't even mentioning the fact that you are tying your genetic material to theirs for all of eternity. Your descendants will always carry their DNA. Please think carefully. ❤

Last story. I think her mistake was letting the ex's kid come over at all. Ex started thinking he deserves the weekend breaks (so he can date, probably) and maybe thinking that she likes the stepson more than she actually does. Does he give her food money and whatnot, or is she a free baby sitter? I would start making other playdates for her son to go on and wean both the ex and his son from depending on her. Go every other weekend, then once a month etc.

Story 1 isn't 'usually' a role reversal of any kind. Women can't generally procreate children in an amount of time that would literally make tadpoles envious.

Yeah, I'm struggling to find sympathy for OP, although I'm loving her revenge story. The one I'm really cheering for is the first ex, who finally got child support from that worthless conkwocket.

[@drippystaff5657]

Yep 100%, she doesn't recognise the red flags. I also found it quite intresting when she said she got with this guy straight after her 12 year relationship ended. Either she's silly getting into a relationship straight after her 12 year one ended. Or she left her ex for this guy. If that's the case I have 0 sympathy for her.

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

I slightly disagree, because we're looking at her story with hindsight. I'm not saying she shouldn't have noticed the red flags. It's just........usually, when we fall in love and are in the honeymoon phase, we tend to ignore the red flags. I do agree with OP's revenge being awesome.

Be kind, be safe and take care of yourself. Have a great day

[@denisefulks8283]

I wish the same for you. Have a wonderful day.💗💗💗

[@donnaprudente8252]

Hope they don't find the father. It would be horrible for him and he doesn't get anything out it

[@boogitywoogity248]

OP has the man judging observation skills of Hellen Keller truly my god. I can’t wait for the next post when it turns out she’s dating DB cooper; or the Zodiac killer.

[@LadyEllesmere]

Dammmnnn love that first story revenge

[@AndyyWithAY]

I hate tennis shoes, so if my dead-beat dad forgot my bday then sent me some Jordans I'd be even more pissed because clearly he doesn't know me at all.

[@NeroTheDarklord]

Revenge stories are my drug of choice. The more destructive the revenge, the greater the high.

[@mindyschocolate]

No way I go out with someone and not do a background check on any BF. She should have done that from the start. Edit: omg she’s awesome! 😂😂😂 this definitely is great payback for that loser.

[@jessieBird96]

Story 2: if Dad wants the half brother to go so bad he can pay for him, simple as that. OP shouldn't have to shell out hundreds of dollars so a kid who isn't hers can go to Disneyland. Also, cut off the friends who said you're the AH, that doesn't make any sense and they aren't your friends

[@vagrantmessiah]

I've been that dude that (in my case) almost got hit taking care of a kid that wasn't mine. DNA doesn't lie.

[@lapsedgoth]

Story 2: this would have been avoidable if OP had told ex upfront that they were taking the kiddo to Disneyland. OP isn't an ahole, maybe a bit inconsiderate for leaving kiddo's dad out of the loop. I get that OP is primary custody, but I don't know that I'd want to wait till the last minute to tell him "oh yeah I'm taking our kid away for a vacation just us." Tell Ex it's happening, and that gives him an opportunity to help his kiddo through the disappointment of not being able to go with a half sibling on vacation.

There's salting the earth and then there's bathing it in napalm just in case

[@actuallynotsteve]

He works in the "Cannibus Industry" and by that I mean "is a drug smuggler"

[@stephanien6237]

Cannabis is legal in many states. No need to smuggle it. States where recreational marijuana is legal: Colorado Washington Alaska Oregon Washington, D.C. California Maine Massachusetts Nevada Michigan Vermont Guam Illinois Arizona Montana New Jersey New York Virginia New Mexico Connecticut

[@actuallynotsteve]

@@stephanien6237 yeah but he's smuggling to states where it's illegal. Couldn't care less but dude is a drug trafficker by definition. Probably slang on the dn. I'm in LA, I know weed is mostly legal everywhere now
