I'm very frustrated with my S/O today. As you know, we've been together for almost 7 years, but we are not married yet. One of the reasons I have chosen not to push to get married is because of the situation with his daughter, who lives with her mother and visits us on the weekends. Her mother refuses to follow their parenting plan. She is supposed to provided half of the transportation for visitation, but refuses to do so. A couple of years ago I put my neck out there and had a talk with her telling her she was going to do her part with this. After some arguing on the phone, she agreed to provide half the transportation, saying she would come pick their daughter up from us as long as it wasn't snowing. We went with this, and she followed through for a couple of months until her car got repossessed. That was over a year ago.... and ever since then, my S/O has just been providing the transportation both ways. He WAS saying, that when bit*h got another car he would make her drive both ways for a while to make up for all the driving he AND I have done.
Well, the time has come, and she has a new car. We got the call from his daughter last night (always on Thursday) saying she wants to come over this weekend, but that her mother won't drive her either way. He's just going with this, and will be driving the 35 miles to pick her up, and then to take her back home on Sunday.I don't want to be "petty" but this has been an ongoing issue for us, one that I've threatened to leave over in the past. It makes me very angry every time it happens. He doesn't seem to want to even try to do anything about it, like go to court. He just says he can't afford an attorney, so he thinks he won't get anywhere in court. This infuriates me, and I'd like to know what the tribe has to say about it. Am I just being petty, or would you be frustrated too? What would you do about it?
Thanks in advance!
