I have been with my BF for the last 6 years. I moved in with him 2 years ago. I am 32 and he is 44. He has 2 adult children 21( s) & 24(d). The 21 year old is really responsible. He graduated from college early, has a really good job, and just bought a house. Very ambitious young man who is going places. His daughter on the other hand has 2 kids 3 &1 and works low paying jobs which don't last. She has quit college even though her parents will pay her tuition. She is on the fast track to nowhere. Her BF broke up with her and she ended up moving back in with her dad and I. I had no say in the matter really. He asked me what I thought about his daughter and grandchildren moving in. I said if she did move in he needed to set a timeline about how long she could stay and she needed to get a full time job and go back to college part time. I told him if she did not agree to those stipulations I did not want her moving in. Did he take my advice? NOPE!

She moved in and 6 months later still no job and not going to school. The only productive thing he made her do was settle the custody battle she had brewing with her ex. Her ex would settle for nothing less than 50/50 and was willing to go to trial. BF's daughter was more than happy to spend her dads money on legal fees to try and limit his time. BF literally took the papers with a pen in hand and made her sign them giving her ex 50/50. He told her if she did not sign he would put her out of the house and support her ex getting sole custody. She signed. BF was so angry because she blew off a meeting with the lawyers to try and settle the case. That is the one time he put his foot down so he is capable of it.

I come home after working long days to a messy house. She has no consideration. She will leave the kids with us during her custody time and be gone for hours on end. I do enjoy spending time with her kids but I value my weekends. I don't want to spend it babysitting. I argue with BF about it all the time. I ask him when is she leaving and he says she has no where to go. Her brother and mom will not let her live with them. I am tired of arguing about his daughter and I have finally reached my breaking point.

Before I moved in with him I was living in a condo I had bought a few years before. Instead of selling it I decided to rent it out. The tenants who live there gave me a 30 day notice they were moving out. Come May 1st the place will be vacant. I told BF that I will be moving back into my condo. I could not take it anymore. I have already started packing. He asked me if I was breaking up with him. I said our relationship had been dying a slow death for the last 6 months and I don't see a future for us.

He has been trying to convince me that if I move out he will move with me. He just needs sometime to get his daughter settled in a new place and then we can move back in to his house. He sounds ridiculous saying that and he does not even see it. He is trying to light a fire under his daughter and made her clean the house from top to bottom. He is now applying for jobs for her and has taken her on 2 interviews. Today he took her to sign up for summer classes. He will no longer watch the grandkids unless it's for a job interview or something practical. He gives her a list of tasks she must complete everyday or "he will throw her ass out on the street". That is what he told her so she is complying with a major attitude. To me it's too little too late. Why do I have to reach my break point for him to realize the damage he has done and allowed his daughter to do. I have just been really pissed the last few days.
