My wife?s best friend is the biggest free loader I have ever seen or met. She hasn?t paid any rent in years nor has she owned a car yet she has a pretty new Honda accord to drive and nice four bedroom house more on that later. She has a little girl she claims was the product of rape (I don?t believe a word she says about the rape her story does not add up) anyway here are my issues and they are ruining my family. My wife offered to watch her kid while she works well that?s fine and dandy but her friend offered to pay her but has yet to pay a single dime. My wife had a day job for 4hrs a day and made $40-50 a day, now she makes nothing. We feed the little kid and do what ever else the kid needs. My wife finally asked for some food for her as we can?t afford to feed everyone and she brings over a box of grits and a can of spaghetti o?s like that is going to help. My wife does this everyday for her she works but lately she just expects us to watch her kid when ever she doesn?t feel like having her around. She just shows up and is like oh I have to run to the store HINT HINT and my wife is like oh you can leave her here while you run to the store etc. It?s like we are the kids parents (hell my wife is even potty training her cause her mom is to lazy to teach her herself) and she stays with her mom only to sleep at night.

My wife?s friend is a lesbian and at one time her and my wife were tangled up and it hurt me very badly (I hold a grudge and I have my reasons). We all have gone past it and the best friend has a live in girlfriend now who bought her a car and pays for her rent etc. Prior to this she lived with a guy she hated and led him on for nearly 3 years and got free room and board during that time from him. Until he wised up and ran from her clear across the country. Now it looks like we are starting to be where she leaches from since he left. I go over to her house from time to time and half the stuff there used to be mine and in my house and now she has it in one way or another my wife gave it or she barrowed it etc. I?m sick of it, my wife does what ever to make this girl happy but forgets about me or the kids its always her first. Her friend costs me a ton on various things my wife buys for her.

I want to go on a date with my wife be she refuses and she acts like we cant ask her best friend to watch my kids (8 and 6 btw) that would be to intrusive to her so no dates. Her friend constantly in one way or another is in the way of anything I do....hell I can?t even go to work with out having to run home and get the kids so her friends baby can sleep so my wife?s friend doesn?t get pissed when she picks her up that she is sleepy or didn?t have her nap in time. I need to work and my wife needs to put my family first but lately its her friend first and she can?t see it. I bring it up and she says I'm just being crazy and she doesn?t put her first, but her friend can ask her anything and my wife will do it. Me on the other hand she wont do anything for she is like do it yourself or you figure it out I have her kid to watch.

I used to be able to take my wife out for lunch during the week I can?t now unless I want to feed her friends brat kid as well. What should I do to get my wife to wise up and get her friend out of the way of our life? She is a parasite and thrives off others good will she is a master at coning people out of anything. She stayed with us over a month and we fed her and her kid she said she would pay for all the food they ate etc (added nearly $250 to our monthly food bill) and of course she didn?t pay a dime and just expects us to forget about it. Its very trying I?m about to leave I told my wife its me or her and she said both so now I don?t know what I should do.

Oh and to make matters worse she lives 9 houses down from us :(

Cliffs:
wifes best freind is a parasite con artist and I want her gone

Tell your wife that she isn't watching the brat anymore.

Shouldn't have made that ultimatum if you weren't going to go through with it.

If your wife leaves you over it, she doesn't really sound worth being with in the first place.

Go get 'em, champ.

Sounds like you need to remind your wife where her priorities should lie. You and her own children come first. It sounds as if she has forgotten that.

Seriously man it is time to call it a day with your wife. Before you and her decide to have kids and ruin their lives too.

Your wife "CARES" about her ex-lesbian lover and there is nothing you can do about it. IF she cared about you and your feelings she would not have any contact with this former fling.

Time to walk out grabbing your balls and acting like a man. Right now you are acting like a bitch. Man up and ditch the wife!

1) how are you so sure your wife's thing with this chick has ended?

2) why in gods name would you want to even consider leaving your kids in the care of someone so irresponsible (that chick)?

They went from being 600 miles apart to 9 doors apart? I think you're missing something very obvious here.

Honestly, this will ruin your marriage. Your going to have to put your foot down on this and deal with the consequences. Tell her how you feel about it, that you don't want her taking care of her best friend like this that you will leave and that's it. If she chooses not to listen, then obviously her mind is already made up. If you don't do this, you'll be headed down this path in the future anyway, trust me. If your wife chooses her best friend over you, well, that's too bad for her.

Like this guy says, your wife is already lost. Don't let her see it coming. Contact a lawyer, get all your crap in order so you won't be totally screwed and after you've done that, tell her you want a divorce.

You are a sorry excuse for a man. Tell your wife that her free-loading has got to go as she is affecting your family in a negative way. If your wife doesn't want to change, then you have to leave. Stop whining about how bad the situation is and take some action. The world isn't fair and you can't expect everything to work out how you want it unless you make proactive steps to change things.

Then you need to find some way to make her listen. She is probably taking you for granted. I've always viewed marriage as 'US' not 'ME'. There is another person whose input and concerns are just as valid as her own. If she sees that she might have to choose between you and her kids or her best friend that might jolt her back to reality.

Hey shut up d!pshit.

If everyone was a real excuse from a person, and everyone was as honorable as they were supposed to be he wouldn't have to stand up for himself, and his wife would know where her loyalties lie.

He's just in a ****** situation.

I'm going to say lay it down with your wife, if she doesn't agree with you then drop her ass.

Keep records of how much money you've been spending on the freeloader and use this in the divorce.

This is a messed up situation. You need to take control. If you can't, then this relationship is over. You need to develop a plan for what to do after your wife leaves you. Sounds like they are both the couple and you are the bread winner. I would end up in jail over that situation (done it once already). Sorry you have to go through it.
