She’s Refusing To Add Her Boyfriend’s Son To Her Health Insurance Because Not Only Is It Expensive, But She Also Doesn’t Trust Her Boyfriend’s Ex
For the past four years, this woman has been dating her boyfriend.
They have been living together for two years.
When she first met her boyfriend, he’d divorced his ex-wife two years prior.
Unfortunately, his ex struggles with her mental health, and because of this, her partners don’t stay together with her for long.
Throughout the course of their relationship, her boyfriend’s ex-wife has started a lot of drama, and it’s been difficult for them to cope with, but she and her boyfriend have stayed together through it all, which has angered his ex.
“She has refused to let me be a part of her 12-year-old son’s life. I am not allowed to speak to him, and she makes it clear that I can’t be involved,” she said.
Her boyfriend’s son doesn’t talk to her, and she doesn’t try to talk to him either because she doesn’t know if it would make him feel like he’s caught in the middle.
Plus, she wonders if her boyfriend’s son is worried that he’ll get in trouble with his mother if he talks to her.
She thought there was the possibility that his mother had said that she would question his devotion and love for her if he did talk to his father’s girlfriend.

“The divorce decree states that if the mother carries health insurance, then she is owed the full amount of child support, but if the dad carries, then child support is reduced. When the agreement was done, she agreed to carry him,” she explained.
The company she works for allows a partner to be on her health insurance.
Her insurance is a more affordable and better plan than her boyfriend’s, so she agreed to have her boyfriend on her plan because they’ve been talking about getting married one day.
However, she has rejected the idea of also listing her boyfriend’s son on her insurance.
It would be expensive to do so, and her boyfriend’s ex-wife would fight against the child support payments being reduced.
Because of this, her boyfriend would have to go to court to get a new decree implemented.
In her view, it doesn’t make sense for her to add her boyfriend’s son to her plan when her boyfriend’s ex despises her, and their son doesn’t talk to her in the first place.
“My boyfriend supported me and stated that if she wants us to do it, she has to take us to court and get a new decree that will reduce the child support since it will be an easy $425 out of my check each pay period to add him. She refuses to do so. She says she promises she will return a portion of the money she gets in child support to us. I don’t trust her,” she shared.
While she doesn’t necessarily have an issue with the idea of listing her boyfriend’s son on her plan, despite the fact that he’s unkind and impolite to her, she and her boyfriend don’t want to go against the court order and what the judge explained to her boyfriend and his ex in regard to the stipulations of the order.
Now, her boyfriend’s ex-wife has called her a jerk, claiming that she’s not doing her part to financially support her son.
In her view, this is the complete opposite of what his ex had stated in the past when she used to iterate that she didn’t want her to speak to or have any relationship with her son and that always included taking care of him in any way.
