Relationship getting more serious ?

redOwl

While back posted about relationship having trouble understanding at time felt was a lot problems thought things where getting better .Now getting more serious but some things not sure what to think .

When first visited her she had social worker visiting her she had her child taken into care few months ago and social worker visiting her at time she told me hide out sight when social worker visiting her .

At time we in relationship when asked her trying find out what going on if child living with her or if she stay in care she usual say that felt be best her child stayed in care she couldnt cope with her back home .

She never really tell me what what going on with social worker but when ever her ex bf phoned up she seem to tell him about what going on.

Same time she having social worker visit her she visiting lawyer about her child as well just saying that giving her assessments about something but not really saying what just that stressing her a lot .

She never really tell me just that talked about if wanted interview me i need support i have problems being interviewed on my own understand what asking me that she said that wouldnt happen wouldnt need see me .

Few weeks ago she asked me go down when seeing lawyer just thinking that be waiting while she with her lawyer argument over it because wearing t shirt her saying that she going introduce me as friend then say that i was her bf .

Recently she said had last these assessments with her lawyer that they where now over .When her ex moved out he moved into some kind housing where said that some kind abuse.

Gf invited him over even do she said he never be invited to house to sign some papers and now wants argue with him over what he said about her being abusive she talking about trying get him to emit lying about it.

Not sure feel like maybe something still going on when her ex called her she told him about about medical appointment she didnt even tell me about until much later.

Hi @redOwl it All does sound very complicated. The only advise I can give is to talk your concerns with your girlfriend. Tell her how you feel about the issues that you don't like and see if you can work through them. If you don't then she won't know how you feel.

Hi @red0wl

It's good to hear from you. Have you been able to speak to your family about this yet? It seems as though you're still quite unsure about some elements of your relationship with your girlfriend, and that there are some things worrying you in terms of how she's been acting.

Bit late response recently met her social worker she been trying to see her daughter who was in care.Kind of interview questionnaire thing with her daughter social worker about me felt bit had to understand .

When first started chatting with gf she said wanted relationship with me told her very dependent on my family in ways have hard time with day to day things and that maybe to much for her that she said be supporting each other .

Social worker telling me that gf need lot support been trying best i can help her and because condition house very run down that safe for her daughter to return and look after her .

Tried talk gf about this she say doesn't know what they on about when asked her what social worker meant .

Have tried talk to family about this before but seem to make fun of it and dont listen.

Hi @redOwl that sounds terrible, I'm sorry she's had to experience living in those conditions.

As I'm new to this discussion, could I ask where your girlfriend is living now?

Remember if you'd like us to offer any additional support, then please do say.

She living in private rented house that use to share with her ex dont know what house like when they moved in together have been staying with her for while not moved in permanently .

Social worker has seen gf in this house i dont understand it social worker just said house have be made safe .

was going help gf with paying some rent she owed until had to contact landlord who hasnt seen house in few years that suppose be just paying back rent my gf doesnt have and few repairs until landlord who visited house she hasnt seen house in few years.

Gf dealing with landlord it rented in her name that she use to rent with her ex lot damage caused to house that landlord saying gf caused that she wanted back rent my gf owed her and that she have been given notice.

Drag into this argument with landlord and my gf because said help my gf with back rent gf saying she owed so much and landlord saying was more she owed until she said she have to check exact amount owed.

Had this landlord harassing me said could pay back rent but landlord wanted another month rent and she think about letting us rent place together.
