Tell him to Be a man and handle his shit or hit the curb!

Btw doesn’t matter who’s name it’s in… you use it too you clearly stated you need it , soooo…. Ya share that bill. I wouldn’t be hocking my stuff though… time for better jobs or 2nd jobs:

I think you’re with a

If you need a ride then help with the payment it’s only temporary until you get your switch out of pawn, don’t sell it. Can he get a payday loan?

Not selfish at all he should be getting a new job my fiance had a car only in his name he got behind pretty far but we caught it up we have 2 cars we both work we did sell what we didn’t use like our Wii u sold it for money we got rid of the games controllers but we never really played it but no you’re not being selfish at all if tell him get off his ass get a better job you have 1 baby and one on the way. He tried to get rid of my PS4 i was upset like no I play it but after about a year I was okay with selling it with all but one game because I was gonna get a new one. I drove his car for maybe a week but he paid for it we have an understanding about our cars

Stop worrying about gaming systems and start thinking about the children you created together. You and he have a responsibility as parents to provide for those babies, THAT should be the priority.

Hell NO! Bye byeee :v:t2: I’ve done it all for the dudes. Like all of it lol. Cars. This, that, you name it. Doesn’t sound like he’s working too hard. I’d be hustling on my own for my babies. After my ex husband left after 13 years, when our kid was 3 months old, I hustled the hardest and ended up better than I ever was! (He now owes me $42k in child support and I still help HIS ass out, happily).

I guess I’d say if he ain’t contributing in regards to your bills and finances, at least make sure he’s contributing to your relationship and family in some type of way!

Nope tell him he thinks he’s grown enough to lose his job he’s grown enough to.lose his car go ask family and friends admit he fucked up and learn the hard lesson or he will keep doing it.

Absolutely not, do not pawn anything make his ass get and KEEP a job or kick him to the curb

The children are the most important things here, not his car or your game console. If you can’t keep up with the payments on his car maybe replace it with a cheaper one that you can actually afford? And no your not selfish wanting something for you, but from a mother of 3, you won’t get much time to use it when the baby gets here anyway. And what’s more important a car so he can get to work, so you have some money coming in? A car so you can get to the grocery store easier with 2 babies, or get around to families houses for some much needed company when times feel so hard you want to cry (babies can be hard work, rewarding but hard)? Or a switch that you can buy back cheaper in a couple years when you have time to play it again. Both of you need to grow up, put the children first and get your priorities in order. Either that or stop reproducing you obviously aren’t ready.

If he’s current with his payment then he can ask for a deferment and also ask for covid related deferment programs ( you have to ask for the covid related program, they won’t offer it) as he’s been borrowing and such from his pregnant girlfriend. If the first representative won’t work with him then call back and speak to a supervisor. I’m a former bill collector. Even before covid people usually qualify for a deferment if they’re current when they ask so they avoid being delinquent and it would turn your, for example, 60 mon term to a 61 month term while he gets stable gainful employment as your going to need to stop being stressed out and need support after baby comes so he may want to start exploring some options other than his pregnant lady as an ATM. I’m sorry you’re going through this Mama.:heart:

One word run get the hell out of that relationship

Good bye friend don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split you lol

Absolutely NOT selfish. Why the hell are you with this ‘‘man’’? My man would sacrifice his shit before he tries to sell my shit. So selfish.

How do you except to have a healthy family if your partner thinks a car that hes already ducked up the payments and responsibly for is more important then your pregnancy, then asking you to sacrifice more. I honestly feel bad for you because you’ll be doing it with someone who acts like a child himself in the face of responsibility, meaning alone with or without him. I e seen where this could lead if not addressed and corrected quickly and it’s bad, I saw my mate go through hell down to having to pay the baby daddy back for every cent of his pay that had to go on anything other then his Bill’s and needs. She paid him back even buying nappies because his money was always “needed” for his priorities, sold her stuff to pay his way with the kids because hes already spent his money, refused to work at so.e points, refused to change jobs if being extremely underpaid and required a allowance to survive and still had to correct if she needed something important, everyone in the environment ended up with ptsd, like this can snowball so dam badly but only you can decide if it’s all a dealbreaker but he needs to take responsibility for his money and choices and look at his narsistic traits and any you show yourself that you dont want your kids to have and work on them now, or walk away with a fair custody agreement before it could get lots worse.

With the money you already sank into a car that you have no legal rights to you could have gone and gotten you at least a cheap car for yourself to get you and your baby where yall need to go instead of making his payments on his car that he cant afford. I saw someone said for you to have him put your name on the car do not do that then that legally makes it your responsibly and if you’re 7 months pregnant with an unreliable immature baby daddy that cant hold a job then when you’re not able to make the payments anymore thats going to mess up your credit. Best advice anyone can give you is loose the dead weight…meaning the deadbeat baby daddy. Take care of yours and your babies needs. If he refuses to hold a job to take care of himself do you really think he is going to hold one to take care of you or your baby. Sorry girl he is showing you who he is and what he is going to be like. Its gonna be super hard being a single mom with a grown ass man child leeching off you too.

You earned your switch. Keep it he needs to man up and figure this out.

What about next month? I mean sure you could go above and beyond and sell it to pay the car note, but next month you’re right where you started with the exact same problem.

So no, you’re not selfish. It’s yours and it doesn’t even solve the problem at hand which is the fact that he’s irresponsible and jumping from job to job and not making sure he can pay his bills.

He’d better grow up, there’s a baby on the way and baby can’t go without just so that he can pay for a car he obviously can’t afford.

I would think twice before going on in this relationship. He should make you and the baby a priority. It seems like he’s getting you under is problems and, you are his umbrella :closed_umbrella:. I would think if this relationship would be what I wanted for my future.

If his already like this now, it just gets worse with time.
The thing that is bothering me the most, it’s that you had to use your own money to pay for the car. When you need to start buying stuff for your baby. He needs to grow up ASAP, otherwise it will ruin your relationship more than on a financial level.

First of all how long have you two been together? You said you need the car, if you’ve been together for a while you two should come up with a plan together to make up the money for it as a team. Thats what relationships are about.

I had an ex try something similar. I told him the car was in his name it was his problem. I was sick of using all my extra money to pick up on his shitty money management. He made more than me between having more hours and just a higher base pay but was always begging for money because he spent his paycheck on stupid shit he didn’t need before he even bothered to look at bills :roll_eyes:.

I’d sell it but not for his car but for you & your child. Sounds like you probably should be looking for a job if he’s only bringing home $103/week. That’s not enough to support himself let alone you & a child. I definitely wouldn’t be depending on him to help you financially with an income that low. Time to step up & support yourself & your child. You got this & can do it!! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
