Hi guys,
New on here, I have a relationship situation and am not sure how to handle this. I feel torn, angry and seriously pixxed off inside but I'm confused as to what I should do. I have tried asking friend, family, even a Christian minister but fundamentally this is my life and I am stuck with the consequences whatever happens.
To set the scene:
Me and Significant Other, together from 2017. I have two young children (one of each) from a previous relationship and she has one girl from a previous relationship. Mine are both 7, hers is 5.
In a nutshell my other half, who lives with me seems to have a serious problem with my children, despite the fact hers runs riot on a daily basis.
Me, her and her child live in my house full time and my children stay over for the weekend every fortnight.
My Mrs is from Czech, and I'm from the UK. Don't know if there's a cultural difference or I'm just being weak, but when my two children step out of line, even if it's just for something minor she is all over them. She flies into am angry rage, demands that they "explain themselves" and will even physically grab hold of them to prevent them walking off. This seems to be particularly aimed at my daughter, and my seven year old daughter now blanks her and will not speak to my Mrs. Of course I get it in the neck for this, and I am to blame for their actions.....
By contrast whenever her daughter does something wrong and I confront her, her mother instantly runs to her defence, gets angry and shouts in my face. In the past her daughter has kicked doors, smashed things, hit my own children, spat at them and been disrespectful to my parents. Just today I have asked her to tidy her room 3 times as she keeps throwing her blankets on the floor, and the last time I did this I was met with shouts, screaming and being called stupid.
The second issue is, she flat out refuses to claim maintenance from her child's dad. I by contrast pay above the odds for mine and am happy to do so. I have brought the issue up with her before, but she stormed off and walked down the road in a strop. We were out shopping at the time.
At home I am the one taking her daughter to school, paying for food, taking her to night classes, running errands and by her mother's encouragement she now calls me daddy.
I honestly feel like I have been cucked in this situation and I have been palmed off with the weight of someone else's child. I am losing respect for myself and the depression, anxiety and self loathing is setting in. I am now on pills for anxiety, again at her insistance and whenever I question anything I am being told I am "other thinking everything again"
Furthermore, my house is a mess. Constantly, and I'm physically drained from tidying and dealing with the drama from them two.
I never quite know what I'm going to walk into when I get home from work.
I get sex maybe once a week.
She wants to get married as soon as possible, so she can be "legally married" and wants a child to "cement things between us".
I am depressed as anything, and have done many hours of reading and watching YouTube videos in my spare time but none of it seems to help. I am trying to act as masculine, strong and emotionless as possible but I feel like a part of myself is dying somewhere.
Am I being to weak, emotional or caring too much?
Do I not care enough?
Any advice or questions is more than welcome, as I could never tell anyone any of this face to face. Feel free to ask me anything
