I wasn’t going to bring this drama here, but I know we have some good people here, and any advise would help

Ok here we go:

6 -7 years ago one of the moms in my son’s preschool class made a push to get the moms to be friends. Well, it worked. There are about 10 families now who are tight, and our kids play together, and the adults have all become pretty good friends.. We have done a lot of stuff together. My daughter actually helped in bringing us together.. We were all here for each other. She is not the one that spearheaded it, but she is one of the moms in the group. Ok that’s the background



What happened: Let’s call him oh.. Dave, and we will call her Sue

They have been having trouble. Nobody knew it, they kept it to themselves. He got her to go to therapy with him. He goes all the time, she went once I think. In the one session, she revealed that she has been having an affair with this guy she works with.. We will call him asshole. Dave did not leave.. he has tried to be supportive of her and their 4 kids. She would swap beds back and forth between Asshole and Dave. Dave tried his very best to keep the family together.. I know a lot of guys would of said eff this, I’m out of here.. and maybe he should have. He tried to keep the family together. I think there is something said for that as well.

Ok.. I asked how he was doing a couple of weeks ago.. he texted me back saying they were great, and her and asshole were done they were “getting back to normal” as he put it.

Well the rumors were that asshole left her. IMO I think she backed this up by trying to OD on pills. She is in the mental hospital and wants Dave not to be there, and keeps throwing him out of her room…. He keeps trying.. poor guy is a friggin wreck.

Now she says she is not going to leave unless asshole picks her up… Oh, and Asshole tried to take pills himself I gather



Should I go beat the living crap out of asshole? That won’t help…. But what does Dave do? I have no idea what to say to him

The best advise is to stay as far out of it as you can.

Stay out of it. Don't get sucked into it. Be thankful that this is a bullet you can avoid. And yes, that means don't allow your wife to drag you or her into it.

Good luck

Help Support Dave and 4 Kids. Sue needs to sort herself out; and Dave is the one who doesn't have the support. Asshole is only an Asshole in this instance if he knew about Dave, and decided to keep going. Even so, Sue is the person who instigated all of this and beating up Asshole really serves no purpose.

Unless of course Asshole was raping Sue, then there's other things going on there... but Sue needs help, Dave and 4 Kids really need help; Asshole needs to be removed from their lives.

So; Get Dave to get more help from the professionals he sees; and if you can, give Dave the personal help you can afford. Let Sue stew for a bit.

Asshole knows about Dave

he is either married himself, or has a GF


and him trying to off himself had nothing to do with Sue (I think)

Yup, drama like this tends to spread and, before you know it, your family is involved too.

I also agree that beating up on Asshole isnt going to do anything. Yeah, he sounds like a piece of work, but he didnt force Sue to have an affair, she chose to do that. And if it wasnt him, it would have been some other guy.

If she's OD'ing to manipulate others that indicates that she may have some kind of personality disorder going on, so she's really in the right place right now.

My two cents...

Encourage Dave to continue to see his therapist. YOU cannot save him from his poor decision making, but maybe a professional can help him see better options for his kids as well as himself.

Allow the hospital and other professionals to take care of Sue, her issues and her demands. Her life choices are none of your business. You do, however, retain the right to NOT have your family involved with her.

Hope that Dave does not let someone in this mental state back to the house with kids, but that is out of your control.

Not sure why you want to beat up A-hole. Sue is the one who was your friend and turned out not to be the person you thought she was. I think you can be mad/disappointed with her...but please don't say A-hole "knew she was married with 4 kids" because that is irrelevant. SUE knew she was married with 4 kids...she is the one who took the action (repeatedly) that is problematic.

You are a good friend. Be there if he needs something reasonable (help with the kids from soccer practice, etc.) but any attempts to draw you or Donna into the drama should be met with, "I think that is an excellent question for a professional."

My advice: Get the kids out of there. They don't need the drama, don't need to see what was once the Mom and Dad relationship melt down into complete chaos even further than it already has. speak with your peers and see if as a collective you all can begin baby sitting them, and keeping them until their parent's home life can clear up some, no matter what that clarity ends up resembling. They don't need to see how that sausage gets made. Plus it will let mom and dad figure themselves out.

Stay out of it for sure. Don't give him advice or anything. Just be there for your friend. But not her. Unless you approve of her conduct. If you don't, which I suspect is the case from what I've seen of you here, she does not deserve your friendship.

Dave's wife is a stupid bitch. Dave sounds like a spineless enabler. They're both cockbags for allowing their kids to be in the middle of this situation in the first place.

I would take Dave out and get him drunk and laid...maybe he'll rediscover self-esteem, then. Then hopefully he'll divorce the c***. If bitchtits offs herself, the world is a better place for it and maybe his kids have a chance of growing up normal.

Asshole is a loser nobody, better to just ignore him. Dave's wife is the source of all this madness.

Dang... yeah I would stay away from that one, crazy drama though..

But yeah if I were Dave I would really just say **** that to her and work on doing his best at becoming a single dad and get a good divorce lawyer because there's no way a court could be dumb enough to actually reward her custody

My advice: Get the kids out of there. They don't need the drama, don't need to see what was once the Mom and Dad relationship melt down into complete chaos even further than it already has. speak with your peers and see if as a collective you all can begin baby sitting them, and keeping them until their parent's home life can clear up some, no matter what that clarity ends up resembling. They don't need to see how that sausage gets made. Plus it will let mom and dad figure themselves out.


GREAT IDEA

Is there a way to get the kids into the hands of parental figures that aren't colossal douchebags who care more about themselves than they do the kids?

If you do something like this, send them to ONE home, do not shuffle them around from one place to another. Their life is sh*t enough already without being made a to feel special needs.

Don't people read the OP?

the kids, and families all have a long term relationship. Walking away from this/expelling the family because of their problems especially when kids are involved sends the wrong message to everyone else in your circle of friendships and between parents/kids.

I think its great that they have friends like you who DON'T run away from problems to this degree.


Stay supporting this guy, but be very clear that if he continues to fuel the fire, you (and others) can no longer help him.

Not getting involved is NOT the same as walking away. You can support the father and the kids by being there for them, but going to deal with the asshole, trying to deal with the wife etc is getting involved and that isnt going to help anyone.

Does that help clarify the difference?

Good luck


This.

Also, Dave has little or nothing to lose by trying to keep the family together. In a divorce, the wife will get the kids, the house, and pretty much everything Dave makes until those kids are 18... so... what has he got to lose except a piece of ass, which it doesn't sound like he's been getting anyway...


Either way... stay out of it.

Obviously dealing with the asshole/wife is a moot point.

And I'm not sure what you have read of my posts that would require you to 'clarify' the difference.

But at least you got +1 on your post count.

I know this should be obvious but do not get Dave drunk where he is able to in any way break his wedding vows. If he hasn't done anything wrong, he can file for divorce and likely get primary (if not full) custody of their children. If he starts going out drinking, acting crazy, becoming an adulterer, he will lose ground and sympathy from a court. This will be important, especially if he's the primary bread winner and she comes for half his retirement.

Dude better get his head screwed on straight with a quickness.

arrange for the "wife" to have an accident where she perishes from this cruel world. ensure dave takes out a fat life insurance policy, they probably wont cover suicides so might think easy money if she ODs herself again. then said "accident" happens. hes sad for a little while but the money will sooth all worries in time especially since hes way better off without the whore anyway. find a new woman.

I would make a point of making yourself available to help with the kids to the extent that it will not be a burden to you.

Aside from that I would just be available as a sounding board for the guy. Getting more involved than that will more than likely lead to unwelcome drama.

He's staying in the situation. What are the kids learning when mom comes home from getting pounded by her boyfriend and dad is pissed off/hurt trying to hide it? Telling me that he's able to insulate them from the situation? His heart may be in the right place (keeping the family together), but my (likely dumb lol) opinion is the situation is impacting his children more than him taking them out of the situation would.

I'm not gonna fault him for trying to keep the family together. That's a noble thing and it's at the expense of his own happiness, trust and (for lack of a better phrase) sense of masculinity. But there's kids involved and he should REALLY sit down and think about whether a family with a cheating whore wife that's already tried to off herself and is in the looney bin is REALLY the best environment for them.

We all know you don't have kids yet but this reply just proved it. Even if he did find out that none of them were biologically his, I am willing to bet he would still love them all the same. Being a sperm donor and actually being a father are not the same thing.

Be an open ear and a shut mouth for your buddy and mind you own business. You don't know the full story and almost certainly never will. You've entered the land of wtf and your assumptions and deductions, no matter how reasonable or logical, will serve no purpose than to bend you over and slam you with a 12" black rubber chicken .

frankly, I agree. there are two sides to every story and though it looks bad, you're only hearing his right now. support your friend, offer to babysit his kids if he needs a break, but otherwise, MYOB.

"Trying to keep the family Together' doesn't make sense. Trying to keep his kids does. There is absolutely zero chance that them getting back together would last or be a happy situation for anyone. And I am a knight in shining armor kind of a dreamer and yet I know there is zero hope here.

She won't SUDDENLY decides she loves him again. The closest she will come to that is when she realizes Asshole doesn't want her anymore so she will come skulking back until she feels secure enough to leave again.

I wonder if Dave can talk to a lawyer about getting primary care of the kids with supervised visitation right for his wife. She shouldn't be allowed with the kids unsupervised. And I am not even talking about her hurting them physically. She might be a decent mom who would never hurt her kids... but the emotional toll on them will be unacceptable. She is too unstable to be with the kids imo.


I guess step 1 should be a legal separation.

You've already gotten a lot of the same advice I would've given. Be there for your buddy and urge him to do whatever he can to a) keep his kids safe, and b) maintain custody of them since she is mentally unstable.

We all know you don't have kids yet but this reply just proved it. Even if he did find out that none of them were biologically his, I am willing to bet he would still love them all the same. Being a sperm donor and actually being a father are not the same thing.


at the end of the day, biology rules and only fools who think being the "father" to some one else kids rules lol. love how modern day bs rules. in the olden days if you find out those kids aren't yours you could probably legally kill the kids and the wife without evening batting a eye.

This is what I was thinking. "Beat up asshole" as your first thought is both putting the blame, partly or mostly, in the wrong hands and degrading to women.

You can also let Dave know that his kids are welcome to visit/play/interact with yours and your family whenever he thinks that would be good/helpful. That may be a way of providing some support to him as he wrestles with what he needs to do. They are the reason this whole thing started in the first place.

with everything stated above, I guess I am worried he is going to keep on fighting until he has a nervous breakdown

like stated that isn't good for anyone

especially the kids sad




I wish he could remove himself from the situation and take a cold hard look
