we could start going through the 10,000 house choices I need to make.
Or how I can non-creepily turn car girl into my friend. It would be nice to have a friend in my building. Plus she's married so Dh could have a friend too.

Or you could steal someone else's car and slam into her car for revenge. That would be fun.
Here's something to banter about.
It's getting serious with my GF. She's moving in with me over the next month or so.
My issue right now is my ex-wife. She just had a baby and she gave me crap about my GF moving in because she thought it would be too big of an adjustment for my boys. I resisted going off on her.
The boys love Samantha. The boys love everyone. They are sweetie pies and Caleb has already told me I should marry her.
Does ANYONE think it's out of line to have her move in with me?

I like dogs. Favorites are Brittany & Springer spaniels. Medium size, good temperament. I'd love to have a Borzoi - I think they're beautiful dogs - but they're much too high maintenance.
We have cats because I like having pets around, and dogs simply wouldn't do well here with us gone all day. We may go back to having dogs when we retire. PapaLew wants a husky/shepherd mix. I'm not really picky - I just don't want one that can't handle the grandkids, or is super high maintenance, or is a yippy little bag of s***. OK, I guess I AM picky!

I feel like you just announced that you were getting divorced. So at first I felt like wow, moving in already? But if it's been time enough for your ex to have a baby.......I don't think I'll point that out anymore. How long have you been dating? I felt like it hadn't been very long but apparently my sense of time is shot.
haha, we can do this! Gotta workout first and someone keep up with the volleyball game. So probably not til 8 or so.
I don't want to cause her more trouble! She was so nice and apologetic over the phone. Plus, her **** got stolen from her own wedding. That's way worse than my car. Way worse.
How do you make friends in the adult world????
Yeah I can understand your confusion. I moved out April of last year. My ex was engaged and married by October the same year. She got pregnant in January.
Of course I didn't give her any grief when her BF moved in 4 months after I moved out. I didn't tell her it would be a big adjustment if she got married 6 months after daddy moved out and about a month after the divorce was finalized.
Sam and I have been dating since March so by the time she's moved in, it will be about 6 months. I'm not planning to get married too quickly but she makes me happy and she's just wasting money by having an apartment right now.
I like the sound of that. It doesn't involve possibly injuring yourself like my idea did.
Anyone know how to make a dog shut the hell up? My neighbor's dog barks it's tail off whenever I get out of my car.
I'm old fashioned. I prefer the ring before the co-habitation. To me, there's more commitment to making a marriage work than making a co-habitation work.
That said, however, circumstances vary from one person to another. I've seen it go well when kids are involved, and I've seen it go badly. One concern could be whether or not your ex could use this in a future custody argument. That's not nearly as common now as it was 20 years ago, though.
It sounds like you're not having a problem with the boys and the gf getting along and "sharing you" - that would be the other flag.
Edit - it sounds like moral judgements from your ex would be hypocritical, so never mind!

Yeah accidents happen. Trust me, I just rear ended someone and totaled my car. She was nice enough to leave a note which makes her an awesome person in my book. Most people would just leave and pretend they didn't do it.
I think in this day and age it's important to know that you can live with someone before you get engaged or married. I'm not very old fashioned.
My ex got married about a month after our divorce was finalized so if she complained to a judge about my GF moving in over a year after our divorce was final then she needs some medication.
wow, she's married too? Regardless of my own feelings, she has absolutely no leg to stand on. None at all. If the boys are happy and you feel confident in the direction of the relationship/her involvement in their lives, do as you wish.
Wow, your ex really didn't waste time, did she.
Nope. I'm not surprised though. She always got what she wanted and her new husband is more of a push over than I was.
yeah she said she was so mad at herself about it. Still not sure how she managed to hit it, but now I want her as a friend. I did thank her for leaving the note. Because yes, that was very good of her to do.
Though if they hadn't left a note, I'd have been out there tonight looking at the bumper of every red car around.
She had the gall to ask me what the hurry was when I said my GF was moving in after about 6 months too. I resisted bringing up her whirlwind engagement and baby.
Yeah, my old car had a big red door ding on it from my work parking lot. No note and they were gone by the time I left work. I've sneered at every red car in the lot since then.
