Thank you all. Real quick before I go to bed.
Gf just said to me, That she wants to feel like number 1. And that she should not be competing with a 12 year old to be number 1. I am her woman and I should make her feel that way. She said instead and your son is, then drew on a piece of paper “#1”. I said I am sorry I made you feel that way, but everyone is number 1. The other thing she said earlier on. That she thinks she might need some time away, and that she would take the baby with her away for a month. With this conversation, I will be reaching out to a lawyer tomorrow. I did not want to argue with her. It only would have escalated and got bad.

He is your son, not a female best friend - your GF should not be in competition with your child.

Um...no. A month is a really long time. Maybe if things were wonderful and you had no worries, but with her behavior that'd be a real concern. Don't let her take your kid away for a month, have that turn into 2 or 6 months, and then let that be the "norm" for the family court judge to consider making her the primary custodian.

Good! It's overdue imo.

Good. Way to not argue/debate/escalate.

Wolfman - Just make sure to protect yourself and your R with your children. That should really be your only goal at the moment.

I’m wondering, where is she planning on going for a month? And with what money?

As for the ridiculous immaturity of her competing with your children, I can’t even. Let that be a cautionary tale for the other guys here about dating young women.

Hi Wolf

I agree with BL and kml. Don’t go along with her ill-thought out plan of taking off with the baby for a month.

And yes, where would she go? How would she get there? Pay for things? Like food, diapers, and such.

Glad you are going to speak with a lawyer.

Take care man.

I would let her go wherever she wants for however long she wants but make it clear you will be having the baby with you 50% or whatever schedule works for you. Also make it clear you will not be funding this break. Call your lawyer today.

The month thing, she is out of her mind. That is why I am reaching out to a lawyer today about my rights. Its sad it got to this. Lets this be a reminder to the newbies here. Share my story, please i don't want anyone else to go through this.

She has family in another country and she plans on going there. So housing and food will not be a problem for her. She does have some money saved from her previous job. Remember I have been paying for everything. She can afford the plane ticket.

I asked her this question yesterday in that conversation. If we broke up, and you were dating someone else, who would be "#1" in your life? The new man or the baby? She replied that is different. I said how? She refused to answer then went back to how she should be #1 in my life. And if she found another man how he would make her and the baby #1. Ugh she is living in a fantasy world.

I’m glad you asked that. Pointing it out to her. Good for you.

Another country? Oh hell no. International custody disputes are a nightmare.

Does the baby even have a passport? I believe in the US both parents have to sign off on a passport for a child. Def see a lawyer.

He does have a passport. She is not a citizen of that country. She was born and raised here.
