I need someone to talk to!):

My boyfriend has a kid from a previous relationship. Well his son and ex live eight hours away in another state. A month ago his ex called him saying she had problems and had no babysitter, that she needed him to go pick him up, so he did and today he has to take him back. So needless to say, he just left and is going to drop him off and stay there for the night and coming back early in the morning. The thing is, he says he's going to get a hotel room tonight but last time he said that too and ended up staying at her house. I asked him if I could come with him for that simple fact and he told me "No!" he goes on to explain that he is just driving back and forth, that there is no need to come and that the tires aren't that good on the car (which they're not) etc. I have went there before when he stayed a few days but he just thinks it's too much driving for a one year old. I hope that makes sense! I'm just so stressed out. I want to believe him but it's just so hard to considering he's lied to me in the past about this stuff.

He swears up and down that nothing is going on, that he just needs to drop his son off but I don't know. There's always that thought in the back of my mind.

Just trust your instincts, most of the time they are right. And try not to stress yourself out too much for you and the babies sake.

She doesn't like me at all. The hospital from where we live is 10 minutes away. He is going to get new tires and brakes but with him being the only income, he hasn't had the money.

If he plans on staying the night there I really done understand why you can't go. You should he able to go, stay in the hotel together, and then both head home. Somethings not adding up.

Here's my question. If his tires and brakes are bad in his car, so it's not safe for you to travel in it, how are you going to get to the hospital if something happens? That's the lamest excuse I've heard for why you can't come with him, I would keep asking and tell him to fix his car.

Well if you can't go in the car. His son shouldn't either. If car not safe for u it's not safe for his son. Sounds dodge to me.

It would be a little strange for you to go... It depends on the relationship you have with her.  If you don't trust him, then that is another conversation to have.  But if he loves you and cherishes your relationship and you have an honest relationship then I wouldn't worry about it.

He said there's no sense of me going since he's just driving there and back. I'm 23 weeks pregnant! He said anything can happen since his tires and brakes aren't the best. On his way to pick his son up, the transmission in the car went out. He was stranded, had to call his step dad (whose a mechanic) and wait close to two hours before he got there. He got a car but has never drove it that long of a period of time, considering it is eight hours away. He says he doesn't drive back the same day since there and back is a total of sixteen hours, without stopping.
