I have been w/ this wonderful man for 5 yrs. We both got divorced from our cheating spouses, and we both have 2 kids ea. The kids are w/ us the majority of the time. They go to their other parents every other wk end. We have been living together now for about 6 mo. I thought it was going to make things great, it seems to have made things worse. My guy and I fight constantly. His kids, my kids, he's right I'm wrong, I'm right he's wrong (That's rare!) It is just a huge mess. The kids are jealous of each other. His are 9 (boy)and 11 (girl), mine are 5 (boy) and 7(girl). The girls bicker and are very snotty with each other, my daughter is really snotty. My kids are close to their dad and his kids are close to their mom. They have a very loving family life. My kids tend to suffer w/ their fathers unstable life and relationships but over all, he's a good daddy. The main prob is my guy and I. Sometimes I feel like it's me, sometimes I blame him. I feel like he is critisizing every little thing I do. Then he does it to my kids too. He has no errors, nor do his kids or if I point out an error he or his kids did, there is ALWAYS a reason for it. I could write forever about this subject...Is anyone in the same boat???
