The roommate has three small kids and works part time. Three weeks ago my bf's ex-wife had moved back to town with her bf. They had a big fight and next thing you know she moved in with us with her 5 kids. Two weeks later I was kicked out on the grounds - I need some space. There's too many people here and you can't handle all the kids and screaming. I love this guy. He tells me we aren't done, just separated for a while and he wants to go back to dating like we were in school. What should I do?Donna

reader, anonymous, writes (1 May 2007): Remind him you're no longer in school!! Are these kids his or the new boyfriends? Depending on which the answer is its going to be approached in different ways. If some are his kids then he's obviously going to put his childrens need foremost and might take it hard if you were to force him to "choose" as it were. On the other hand if none are his, then the ex girlfriend would appear to be sponging off his good nature. If you guys weren't around where would she have gone? If she would have had somewhere else to go, then she should be going there! Either way you should be sitting down with him and telling him you need to sort this out. If they're not his children you'll probably have an easier battle on your hands, but if they are you may just have to be patient while matters are sorted. (But he needs to be aware that neither should you be waiting around forever) Best of Luck.
