| 0:00.0 | Brought to you by the Every Dollar app. Start budgeting for free today. I was engaged to a girl, |
| 0:08.2 | and we were together for a few months. I mean engaged for a few months, we were together for over a year, |
| 0:14.1 | but she started expressing doubts, and ultimately she told me she wanted to end the engagement. |
| 0:18.9 | And around that time, we found out that we were |
| 0:21.1 | pregnant together. Oh, wow. Yeah. So I, um, I was adamant about, hey, I think we should really |
| 0:28.6 | try and stay together for the kids' sake. I think we should fall through with staying together. And so |
| 0:33.5 | she was open to it for a little while. I moved her into my place. She has two kids. |
| 0:37.7 | We moved the whole family. |
| 0:40.1 | And, but ultimately, I think she just kind of felt trapped me in my place. |
| 0:44.4 | And she ended up leaving and going back to her place. |
| 0:47.6 | She got her, her ex-boyfriend, one of her other kids' fathers to help her move. |
| 0:52.4 | And he was kind of helping her out for a week. |
| 1:27.7 | And, yeah, and so she she left and uh i was working on wildfire at the time and when i got off um i guess she get you know her uh her ex-boyfriend kind of went out of state to go work a job and so she kind of started reaching out back out to me for help and And she doesn't really want to be together, but she's been, she's been asking for a lot of financial support. And she hasn't really guaranteed me that I'm going to even get to have like a relationship with my, you know, with our baby on the way. She's pretty adamant about just wanting to raise, raise her on her own and and then just kind of received child support. And so she's not open to any kind of 50-50 custody or anything like that. And, um, you know, so I, I wanted to be helpful to her. Obviously, she's the mother of this child, you know, that we created. Um, but it's really hard to not kind of feel like I'm, I'm just sort of being taken advantage of. We had kind of agreed on that I would give her a little bit of money |
| 1:47.1 | out of each paycheck not kind of feel like I'm just sort of being taken advantage of. We had kind of agreed on that I would give her a little bit of money out of each paycheck to kind of help her out. She was getting a little bit of child support from her other fathers. But even that, she hasn't really been getting lately because they, like, lost their job. The other one's working under the table. Do they have, do her other two kids have two separate |
