I have a friend that has been a long term relationship with a guy she has a child by him.During this relationship he has his other kids mother living with him. He claims there is nothing going on.Is she stupid or just in love.He treats her well far as money but emotionally she is a wreck!

When it comes to relationships a lot of people do dumb things because it feels right. So if it feels right does it make it right or because it seems dumb does it make it dumb? It's really kind of hard to say. I'd say your friend has definitely got to be careful. Just because they live together doesn't mean there is something going on especially since kids are involved in the situation. If the guy has been sticking with your friend and your friend to the guy for long term I'd say that it's a pretty good sign but if they wanted to be more serious I'd think she'd have to take his living situation into serious consideration and make sure that there is nothing going on. My friend is dating this idiot of a dude who lives an hour away that she makes excuses to break up with him because he bugs her and she doesn't really like him that much but then goes and spends the night with him and continues to see him even so. Sometimes people do dumb things... but if it is dumb... you gotta let them live and learn.

they have been kicking it for about 10 years.He treats her well take care of the daughter he has with her and the other kids that are not his.The only thing is he has his child's mother living with him and he says she is there for the kids but this has been going on for 10 years.He swears theres nothing going on.

oh yes she has tried, they even had a physical fight.It is a really messed up situation.My friend has tried to end it and actually dated someone else for a little bit but ended right back with him.I really do believe he loves her but he loves the other woman as well.

10 years is a long time to stick with something stupid. There's gotta be a reason he's stuck with her and she's stuck with him and the mother of his children hasn't tried to get his other relationship to end.

I think your friend is in denial by having a relationship with a man who is living with another woman. She is not there with the guy 24/7 to say that nothing is going on..and even if he is supporting her financially there is nothing he offer her until he is not with the other woman...does the baby mother know he is in a relationship with your friend..i could only image the baby mama drama.

It all depends on the circumstances. Some people can actually be roommates with their exes and nothing else. If all parties agree on the situation I don't see why not.

Wow, is she stupid! She only has herself to blame for being an emotional wreck. Anyone who, not only enters and stays in such a relationship, but has a child born out of it really has blinders on! Is this how she wants to live the rest of her life? Anyone who thinks a former couple that is still living together 'has nothing going on' is an idiot. Sorry to be so blunt, but she should straighten out her own life before having children!

I think that some men are greedy and want too have it all I was with a married man he treated me well we spoke alot on the phone he made sure I was ok money wise took me out introduce me to his friend ect I did not know at first that he was married I'm not saying that he does not love her cause I think he does just that he wont leave his arrangement with his babymother for her not unless the babymother leaves him she should think about her emotional state his this guy really worth all that trouble she should really think about her future especially is she should have a child for him what then

Personally, I couldn't do to! My Ex and I practically hate each other but I highly doubt we would be able to live together without "taking it there." I think the mother of your child(ren) always has a special place in your heart so that's why it makes it easier to cheat with them.

I'm not sure. It would depend on the circumstances. I would be really nervous if I were your friend and VERY CAREFUL.

This must be very hard to sit back and watch. I think that if shes an emotional wreck then this really should say it all. Someone has to leave pronto. I think that this is a manipulative move on his behalf he actually gets the cake and crumbs and gets to eat it. I dont think so. Id be hitten the pavement if it was me or kick the two of them to it. what ever comes first.
