You are coming off like a dense fool.

She got knocked up at 18 by a 40-year old man with kids her own age. Clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed.


And now, predictably, he wants to spend his limited vacation time with his first wife and adult children. She is not invited, he doesn’t want another vacation with her and their child, and she can’t vacation with the kid alone. If only someone could have warned her in that nightclub when she was in high school not to take the drinks from the 40 year old divorced dad.

Get divorced and go on vacations.


She was horny and had daddy issues - and the saggy balls was her daddy's age.

Ding ding ding

I was thinking the same thing. His current wife and minor child are his family. His ex-wife is former family. His older children will always be his children. They are adults. They can come visit their dad anytime alone or as a group without their mother.

The people defending the the not so dear husband,are off their rockers.



People also seem to be ignoring the fact that the 8 yr old is a sibling to the 20somethings, like it or not.


Awww, so cute. They must have so many coparenting memories.

It's the reason he doesn't want to bring you and they don't want you to be there.

Your husband should take your son on vacation. But he does not want to. I dunno. Other than talking with him, I think you're stuck.


I’m fine with not being there, but I don’t like that he chooses them to vacation with vs us. And he refuses to let us vacation together at a later time and also refuses to allow me and my son to vacation together without him.


What type of vacations are we talking about? 5 star trips to Europe or camping nearby? Do you have zero control over your money and aren’t allowed to book a trip for yourself and your son?

Too bad. Just book it and go on a vacation with your son.

Because he is a bad, controlling husband who treats you and your son badly! That is what this is. You need to plan your exit.

Don’t waste your time ! I’m damn serous and I’m a 49 yo woman

These age gap relationships only are fair to women if men pay up.

Don’t waste your time and youth on this dude. You can find someone who will write checks for your education, but you a nice house if you are remotely decent looking and thin.



Why do people assume all 20 somethings are hot? Most are filled with fillers and Botox and look 50

Well you are the second wife so he came with obligations to the first. You and your son should take a vacation just the two of you. I would also start saving for a divorce attorney. You deserve better. I would rather be alone than put up with this.

How are you not getting that this isn't workable? This marriage is done unless you want to be a doormat the rest of your life. As was stated many pages ago, he doesn't respect you and doesn't appear to care about your son. He will let you care for him in old age then leave his estate to the original 3 kids. You need to protect your son. Stay 10 years. Get an education. Then get a divorce.
