Destructive Choices

[melbender]

First topic message reminder :

They met and fell in love three years ago, their souls entwined and believed they had fiund true love with each other. Both having been married before, and each have two children with their previous partners, a boy and a girl. They thought life was going ok, with goals being met and their savings account going up. Until, one day when their perfect bubble began to burst.

He left his ex wife and their two children to follow his heart, moving to another state and flying over each holidays to spend a weekend with his children, or flying them down to his new home. The only catch, he’s wanting to see them more and more. His ex, blocks his calls and makes it harder on him. He feels guilty for the amount of time he spends with his girlfriends kids, and can’t help but want to move back to be with his own.

She was happy, looking forward to the possibility of owning their own home and thinking life was great as she started a new job and was feeling alive again after the divorce and custody battle. Her children were her world, and she couldn’t help but feel anxious when his were around. She was always kept at arms length, never really being involved with them. She just didn’t think he would up and leave them.

“Thankyou. I guess it’s just stress.” I sighed, rolling my eyes. “I’m sorry for worrying you, I should have done a test before saying anything.” I said and turned to go and start the bath.

[Ashwag24]

I sighed as I watched her go. I got the kids ready had them brush their teeth and tucked them in then went to gabby. I got I. The tub behind her and held her. “I want you to always tell me babe, and I’m sorry, maybe I got bad test or maybe it’s to early to tell.” I kissed her head and held her as she laid in my arms.

[melbender]

“No, they wouldn’t all be negative otherwise” I sighed with a groan “it’s ok, there’s no need to be sorry or anything. I’m ok.”

[Ashwag24]

I sighed. “I am sorry I know how much you want our baby, and it will happen when we are ready or not.” I kissed her and turned her to me. “I love you gabby and I kind of like the idea of you round with our child!”

[melbender]

I laughed shaking my head “you were panicking I bet when I told you. It’s not that I’m desperate for a baby or that I have to have one. I’m not secretly wishing you’d knock me up, I don’t know.. we’ve been together for so many years that I kind of like the idea of us having one together but there is so mych to consider.” And it was only me who wanted one.

[Ashwag24]

I sighed.  “Nah I was just surprised mad eme think we can’t really do anything to stop having a baby because we make love all the time it’s bound to happen.”  I kissed her.  “I’m okay with it, I love you and want my family happy you and your kids are my family.”  I haven’t heard from my kids and probably won’t.

[melbender]

“We have our whole life’s ahead of us, i was a little disappointed when it said negative, but I think we should really look at buying a home for us, we have savings and we can start adding to that again. We need a bigger home for when your kids come down and stay, preferably one with four bedrooms and two living rooms.” I pulled his arms around me “I’m going to want a baby with you eventually, that’s something I’d really like to have together.”

[Ashwag24]

I nodded. “It will happen when it’s time okay baby!” I kissed her and held her tight. I was afraid for when she looked into the savings that I use some of for when I moved. She was going to be mad at me.

[melbender]

I felt like everything was going to be ok for once. “Good thing I work at a reality then.” I smiled. “Have you heard from your kids of mother? I’m sure she isn’t happy you’ve come back either.”

[Ashwag24]

I sighed. “No I haven’t heard a thing.” I didn’t expect to either. “I don’t think they care really. She gives them whatever they want so they won’t want me.”

[melbender]

“One day they will see you tried, and that she made it hard for you. You haven’t walked away from them, you’ve just come back to where you’re happy. You can still see them, but it’s better to be in a loving and stable home than over there on your own and letting her use you when it suits her.” I turned around and sat back opposite him with my legs cramped up “we need a bigger bath.” I laughed

[Ashwag24]

I smiled. “We need a lot don’t we.” I needed to work more to give her what she deserves. “I don’t think they will come around and see that I tried I think she brain washes them.”

[melbender]

“Of course she does, she’s manipulated them against you.” I ran my hands up his legs and smiled “anyway, onto more bigger and exciting topics, are we going camping this summer?”

[Ashwag24]

“I hope so, I mean I hope we can afford it.” God I sounded pathetic. “I mean I’m sure I can work something out.” I pulled her back so she was sitting on my lap. “The kids are incredible you think they can skip a day so we all can hang out before I go into the office?”

[melbender]

“I would love to, but their dad would find out and use it against me. He’s being ridiculous and started his daily calls to them again. He knows he is allowed one call a week, he does it to piss me off.” I never answered him but they still drove me mad.

[Ashwag24]

I shook my head. “That asshole.” Shit I had to tell her he saw me at the store. “Speaking of him, he Ugh saw me at the store buying the test.” I hated it but I knew he woupdnsaw something.

[melbender]

I groaned “great, so he’s going to jump to conclusions and assume I’m pregnant.” Just what I needed. “I swear he loves this, that we struggle while he lives in a nice house and has so much.” I shook my head “at least I know we work hard for what we have.”

[Ashwag24]

I sighed. “You could try to get more money out of him?” I knew she wouldn’t but she and the kids deserved more.

[melbender]

“I could, he would fight me on that.” I knew I was entitled to half his super and a payout for the house we lived in together. “I’ll have to talk to my lawyer, maybe I could do something and then go through our savings to see what our options are for buying a house.”

[Ashwag24]

Shut. “Um maybe I could do all that for us you just talk to the lawyer and see if you can get more from that bastard!” I said trying to defuse that fight that hasn’t started yet.

[melbender]

“If he finds out you’re talking and trying to do it then he will be extremely pissed, it’s ok. It’s not your problem to deal with.” I wasn’t sure why he wanted to do it himself for. That made no sense

[Ashwag24]

I nodded. “Okay.” I kissed her. “Ready to get out and go to bed babe?” I’m other words let me make love to you. “Maybe you should I’m stop taking your pill too.”

[melbender]

“What? But I’m thought we weren’t going to try until after. I’d rather you divorced before we had a baby.” I stood up, and reached for the towel “don’t wear pyjamas to bed tonight. I want to blow you.”

[Ashwag24]

I smirked. “I was thinking we leave it up to chance.” But now I didn’t know if she even wanted that. “No pants got it!” I got up dried off and walked to bed. “Come in babe I’m waiting.”

[melbender]

I heard what he said and I bit my lip at the sight of him “put a baby in me.” I said and practically jumped on top of him
