What I'm not seeing is this man's enthusiasm for making her his wife. Only an idiot or gullible gold digger would move to a foreign country and become a baby momma to a 40 year old man.

Old fashioned = closed minded. Loose morals for having a child out of wedlock? Bastard? That's a bit much.
It is not acceptable to be a baby momma in Chinese culture. Maybe it's acceptable in African American or 'hood culture, but not mine. And we had no baby mommas at my suburban high school when I was there. No one in my step dad's WASPy family has ever had a child out of wedlock. No one in my boyfriend's family has had kids out of wedlock. It's just not done and it's considered shameful. And after some long thought, I have no current friends that have had children out of wedlock. Two co-workers have each had a child out of wedlock, but I don't really respect their personal lives. With one worker, his baby momma lives in FL, and up here he has one main girlfriend and a couple other casual girlfriends. Having children out of wedlock is the stuff of Jerry Springer shows and soap operas.

Common law marriage isn't enough when kids are involved. And I see no reason to change. I just don't understand a couple being in love, but not in love enough or committed enough to get married, having children together. What's so wrong about getting married first? And do the children take their father's last name or their mother's?

I know I should investigate this further but things that were no-brainers at home like picking up the phone book & looking through it are a hassle here because of the language barrier.

I know that's a long shot but do you have any idea what the common marriage laws in Netherlands are?
See it sounds like you got pregnant just to be entitled to half his house.

Do you think that you deserve half of his house just for carrying his baby?

Every time I skim through the topics in the 'Relationships' forum and I run across this thread, I keep thinking it says "How Do I Choke My Chicken".

She entered, smelled, looked, said,"OH MY!!" And then, quietly closed the door, and walked out.
Reps to you when I get my powers back!

Honestly, I think having a kid with someone who isn't your spouse is having a kid with just anybody. And that's just scummy.

So many things the Op did wrong. Now that I see she followed some guy to another country, that makes everything seem even worse.

Jees, I wouldn't follow some guy next door unless he came with a marriage license. But then, I think highly of myself.

Default (they would lose their key).

My mom-my sister-my brother-and my mother n-law all have a key to my house and the alarm code
"but they don't just show up at my house and let themselves in they call to ask if I am up for a visit.
If anyone that has my key just shows up at my home without me calling them to say go check on
something at my house while I am out of town (THEY WOULD LOSE THEIR KEY).
You need to talk with your future mother n-law and ask her to please call before she stops over,
or the next time you plan on playing with yourself do it in the
bedroom and get a lock on the bedroom door that she has no key for!

Fast forward to me living with him now. I want him to get the keys from his mother. This is for privacy reasons. She has opened the door without knocking twice. That is, she came over to where we live & opened the door ...used her keys to let herself in...no knock, no prior phonecall ...nothing!

Once she even just opened the door to where we live without knocking & found me Moderator cut: .. . You would think my SO would of gotten the keys back after that incident.

The house belongs to my SO as I do not contribute financially ( not working and also pregnant).
I feel like these people (him and his mother) are disrespecting me because it is "his" house not "our" house since he pays the mortage & I don't. We are not legally married. Living together & expecting a child.

So I want him to get the spare key from his mother as I'm not comfortable with another woman having the keys to where I live. He feels that since I'm pregnant for the first time I might need his mother to have the keys in case of "pregnancy emergencies". My take is that if there is an emergency I'll call 911.

I said lets compromise & have a spare set of keys in a safety deposit box @ the bank not with his mother. He refuses.

Am I wrong for wanting the keys back? If I lose my keys my SO has the keys & vice versa so I feel we dont need third parties aka his mother keeping a spare key.

I'm so mad. Please help. I feel like choking him right now

Thanks
Beep! Beep! Back the truck up!!!!!

She caught you doing WHAT?!?!?!?!

Holy CRAP!!!

I need a minute.
