I mean, it’s totally her prerogative to not want to care for the baby, but it’s kind of lovely to dump your 15 year old to fend for herself, even if she’s being a dumbass.

I understand not wanting to deal with the situation of your literal child's child, but the way she says "I made it very clear to my kids that if they decide to have children in the future, it will be their responsibility, and I will only step in during times of dire need" indicates to me that she is actually a huge rear end in a top hat. Dire need is probably "I'm in the hospital" as a minimum threshold.

Do more research. The shot has a bunch of side effects, including a black box warning not to use it for more than 2 years because of bone loss. If you have lovely side effects, you also can't undo it, it affects you for up to 18 months after stopping.

also, you know, the whole consent thing . . .

I agree that there’s a middle ground there. She absolutely should be taking her daughter to her appointments and getting vitamins and stuff and booting her out of the house likely isn’t an option, but she doesn’t have to take care of or watch this baby. It’s cold hearted but well within her rights.

Edit: she’s totally a huge rear end in a top hat, don’t get me wrong. Gargantuan rear end in a top hat.

Pretty much this. 100% Godzilla sized rear end in a top hat of a mom. I'm sure she's legally required to do more than she expressed interest in doing in the OP, but she is allowed to be heartless for many things and watch her daughter sink for 3 years before booting her out.

well this seems extremely bad

Me (29m) fiance (27f) her disabled friend (24m) problems. Advice needed

quote:

Me and my fiance have been together for 4 years, engaged for 6 months. On the whole i would say our relationship is very good. We have lived together for 2 years. We spend a lot of time together and rarely have arguments, when we do they are resolved quickly.

She is a truly wonderful person, smart, funny, beautiful and very kind and caring. She often volunteers at things like animal shelters, outreach programs for the elderly and groups for mentally disabled people.

It was through one of these that she met "Harold". Im not 100% sure what his mental disabilities are but i think its asbergers and a few other things. Im unfortunately quite ignorant of these things.

He is a few years younger than my gf and from what i know he is by far the youngest of the group that my fiancee volunteers at and doesnt seen to get on with the others. He lives with his parents and is not able to work.

Me and my fiance often hang out with a group of friends at a local bar. We usually do this a few times a month. This group was originally my group before i met her but she has been adopted by the group over the years and a few of her friends joined later. We drink, talk and laugh. Its a great way to relax and catch up with friends.

A few months ago my fiance asked me if i minded if she invited Harold to one of our group social gatherings. She explained he doesnt have any friends and it would be good for him to socialise with other people. I didnt have any problem with this as long as his parents agreed. I asked our group and no one has any problems with it. She did warn me that Howard can be "a bit intense" but assured me he was really nice.

The first time i met him we were at the bar with our group. His parents dropped him off. He sees my fiancee, runs to her and gives her a big bear hug and shouted to the entire bar

"This is my <my fiances name>. I love her and im going to marry her"

At first i found this behaviour cute and harmless. I do not any longer. My fiance always invites him now. At first i was ok with this, i am not any longer.

he is extremely possesive of my fiancee.

He will follow her everywhere. (Waits outside the toilet for her, only after she told him to stay outside)

He has to sit next to her and will cry if he cannot.

nobody can talk to her apart from him. If somebody else is talking to her he will talk over them or if standing move in between my fiance and whoever is talking (usually me)

i am not allowed to touch my fiance when he is there. If i do he will either phsyically move my hand or loudly tell me to remove my hand. When i tried to say no to this my fiance told me to humour him.

he is usually to be found hugging my fiance and telling her that he loves her.

he wont speak to anyone else. Myself and some of our friends tried to be friendly to him at first, asking him questions and offering him drinks but we got ignored, until my fiance tells him to be nice then we get 1 word answers.

when it is time for us to leave he will cry or cause a fuss with his parents. Often tries to get in our taxi, saying that he is coming with her.

What i first thought was cute, i now find exhausting. I cant relax when he is around now. Everytime i look at my girlfriend he is there. Everytime i try to talk to her he is there and tries to stop me. Everytime i try i want to touch her he is there and tries to stop me.

I have spoke to her about this and said it makes me very uncomfortable i get told he doesnt mean it and he is harmless.

I have asked her to not invite him any more and i get told but he has no friends and i feel sorry for him and Im trying to help him and he would be so upset if he stopped coming. He loves it and loves spending time with us (by us she means her). His parents say this is really helping him and they have never seen him this way.

I feel like im the bad guy here and i feel guilty because i should be more patient and tolerant because he is mentally disabled.

This attitude from her i struggle to understand because usually we are able to compromise easily.

I feel like she has backed herself into a position where she wants to look after and help this man but now feels unable to back out now that it is causing other problems

She mentioned inviting him to our wedding but i told her if he was there i would not be.

This is both of our main method of socialising and i dont want to stop because i really enjoy it when he is not there. Some friends have said that he makes them uncomfortable too but they are more easily able to ignore him.

Am in the wrong here?

How do i get her to stop inviting him? Or at least try and set boundaries. Im trying to be tactful and respectful to his disability.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Tldr kind and caring fiancee keeps inviting a mentally disabled man to group socialising events. He is very possessive of her and it makes me uncomfortable

Most volunteer programs and all professional programs have policies prohibiting doing exactly this thing. You can see why.

She is feeding into the very social skill deficits that keep Harold isolated because it makes her feel good. Terrible volunteer all around.

Like what does she think the guy is going to do at the wedding? He's going to charge down the aisle and stand between her and the groom during the ceremony as her pet man keeps trying to bat away the groom's hand while he offers the ring.

Your fiancee is even dumber than you are which is going quite a ways considering the first four words of your post contained multiple grammatical errors.

Set boundaries and keep to them, even if it means this woman elects to be out of your life, or get used to the idea of ending up a skinsuit.

The wording from your first post makes it sound like your daughter is being forced to get the bc shot. That + the health risks of the shot’s protracted use probably makes it look iffy. And remember, this is the thread where we categorize people like LLJSilk who beats his kids because they resemble his ex wife.

If your daughter is cool with the shot and you’re both cool with the health risks and how they could affect her in the future than there’s nothing to discuss.

When I was discussing bc options with my doctor I didn’t want the shot because I didn’t want the risks and pills were easier but you know, you do you.

I agree with this to a point but like what's the limit here

If the kid got into drugs, what then

Also, to head this off: drugs would probably gently caress her life up slightly less than getting pregnant at 15 so
