      The MVP that got them into being able to make their own choices and now they have a relationship because they were allowed to build the relationship and it's a healthy one where they both want to be in onen where they could've hated each other because they would've been forced together.

      Some people just value their religious beliefs more than the human beings that they have struggled so much to bring into the world and raise. It's like in their minds, their children are ungrateful and bad for not having the same beliefs as them and having the audacity to commit actions that go agains their beliefs even though it's not so bad. Well, they can continue to live in their own bubble and stew in their own self-inflicted misery of not having their own children obey the laws of their religion. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

      Agreed but if a Homewrecker can break the relationship, I also blame the individual(s) giving priority to HW or anyone outside of the immediate relationship.
      When in doubt, the spouses should absolutely talk to the accused spouse directly. The accused spouse needs to do everything to reassure the spouse who is in doubt for any reason. The doubting spouse needs to allow the accused spouse to defend him/herself.
      1. Don't marry anyone who doesn't trust you or you don't trust.
      2. If trust ever breaks down, get a marriage/relationship counselor you both agree on. The relationship will end if Trust breaks down too far.

    The irony is, had the rest of the parents supported the young parents the same way the father did, they would've get the wedding they wanted. Instead, they tried to force it, which would've resulted in a resentful couple and a child suffering from it. Meanwhile, OP's father opposition to that resulted in a happy little family.
    Also, good on the father for immediately bringing them both to court so they can deal with everything regarding custody and child support. Things were about to get difficult for both of them, and the last thing they needed was to argue about that during a very stressful period.

      If the parents didn't drive em away, they would not have been living under the same roof, they would not have to work so hard and take on that much responsibility etc. OP would most likely be still going to school even if he wasn't doing particularly great.

Provides financial support but only when he can tell OP needs the help and has been putting in the work. He didn’t leave them out to dry but still taught them how to take care of themselves.

He gave them a home, space, advice. He went to bat for them in court knowing they didn't have a clue what to do, he had their back ALL the way. He didn't force or guilt or coerce. He didn't bribe or threaten, he was the epitome of a MAN, a true FATHER, a DAD. Somebody clone this man immediately 😂 or have him teach a class. Everyone should take a lesson from him.

    2nd story: the level of manipulation that friend showed is outrageous. To break somebody down slowly over months and months. Just so that they'll be depressed enough to sleep with you. Most people in open relationships aren't about that lifestyle. At least not the ones I know. Open relationships have never been something that I wanted personally. But that woman is a shark.

    Story 1: aaaaaaaahhhh so wholesome! i'm so glad things are working out for OP and Tiffany as parents to Jelly and also that they found their way back to each other as a couple. OP's dad is a rockstar! it really seems like there aren't many parents that would not only help their kid who has a kid, but also help their grandchild's other parent. sure, letting them all live under his roof is one thing, but he's been so supportive with his rules! his rules were made not to punish the teens for having a kid so young, but to help them be the best parents they can be! he helped OP get into a trade school early on, and instead of kicking Tiffany out when she turned 18, he said she has to stay until she finishes college. i can think of a lot of parents who would say "well you're an adult now and you're not my kid so you're not my problem anymore" but this dad is making sure she has a home rather than making her figure something else out or end up on the street. no matter when OP and Tiffany get married, i hope they have a wonderful life full of love and joy and laughter with their little one, maybe they'll even give Jelly siblings when they're ready! and if they break up again instead, i hope they continue to have a great co-parenting relationship and stay friends. i really really think they are so much better off with OP's dad and his rules, support, and lessons than they would have been if he hadn't stepped in and stopped the other parents from marrying them at 16. this way, they get to make that choice for themselves and they didn't have to figure out how to be new parents and (unenthusiastic) newlyweds at the same time. i wish all 4 of them the best!!

    First Story: Wow OP is in a really tough spot here. I can't imagine how hard it is to be a teen parent. Also isn't it illegal for a parent kick out their minor child? OP and his ex are both still minors and OP's mom and Tiffany's [parents both kicked them out? That is illegal right? Not going to lie, OP's dad is an amazing person to be helping these teens out like this in their current situation. Wow, so thats why OP's mom and Tiffany's parents won't talk to them, tis because they had a kid before they got married and they can't force them to get married now. This people are insane and that law allowing literal minors to get married is insane. OP's dad IS the dad of the year, he is doing so much to help and support his son, grandson, and the mother of his grandson. I'm glad OP sees how much of a treasure his dad is. Wow this story is really wholesome; I wasn't expecting them to get back together and they started dating again. Also, good on both of them for cutting contact with the toxic people in their family (OP's mom and Tiffany's parents). Glad OP's dad found a girlfriend that makes him happy and feel alive. I wish nothing but the best for OP and his family
    Side Note: Today is my bday, I just wanted to mention that
    Second Story; Why do some people like to make assumptions on how others feel about their partners? What happened to someone loving their partner and only them. This friend needlessly made OP's husband feel insecure for no reason and the suggestion of opening the marriage is a horrible idea in my opinion. If it ain't broke don't fix it. What made this woman think a simple apology is going to help? She almost tried to end a marriage by hurting this guy's self esteem just so she can sleep with him? Wooow, first off she is lying about saying looks only matter.
