STFU means don't engage him in relationship talk, don't criticize him, don't try to persuade, etc.

He moved out of your house, right? Then I wouldn't feel guilty about using any of the communal property. He chose all this. If he doesn't like it, tell him he's free to move back in.

If he's not interested in seeing his daughter at least 50% of the time, if he's not taking full responsibility while he has her ... he doesn't sound like such a great Dad to me. Sorry.

Many lawyers will do an initial consultation for a very reasonable fee ($0-200). This is a good way for you learn the basics of how a divorce works in your state, and a chance for you to ask lots of questions, so that you know what your rights are.

Be a great Mom. Be a great woman. Be a great person. Be kind but firm. If he still doesn't want you ... you deserve better.


Haha! All of these abbreviations have me a bit confused. Anyways... yes I would agree with you he might not be the greatest dad now that I think about it. It just seems like overall he just isn't overly responsible or feel the need to make a good choice. He almost always chooses the easy way.
Honestly after reading a few posts on here I can't believe I let him make me feel guilty for living in our house that we bought together and driving our pickup that we also bought together. Why does he always get to me?? Wow!!! Am I dumb or what?!?!?
