^^^^^^^^ this. This is what I was trying to tell you so you can get things legalized. You really just have her the best of both worlds “ oz let me go and is going to support me and help me with everything and now I’m free and I can date!!!!!!”

I’ve been on these boards since 2008. And this is the biggest mistake most people make. Thinking they are going to be best friends, don’t need anything legal in place, because you know, they aren’t going to date or anything. It actually makes you look like a sucker. You said she’s been done for a very long time and that’s how your switch is unique. And now you just basically gave her the go ahead to live this like she wants while you support her. And when she starts dating, I can almost guarantee you won’t be feeling the same about being friends and giving her whatever she needs .

I think you are just telling yourself you don’t care either way. But you do.

If you are are truly truly done. Please get money and custody legalized. Don’t fall into the traps. You can be flexibility, but you need to protect yourself and your son.
