OK, my husband is on the other side of the world right now and I am having problems with two of the three bathrooms in my house. If I had to guess, my daughter throw something down there that did not belong. Anyways, my ex-husband has offered to come over fix the bathroom since it has been 4 days and I have been totally unsucessful. I told him no because I was not comfortable with letting him in the master bedroom. When I told my husband about this he got upset. Said that it was not my ex's responsiblity to fix stuff like that because was my ex-husband not my current husband. OK, I may be missing something but my current husband is thousands of miles away, what the heck, he can't help me, what is the big deal about my ex helping with such a simple problem that I am having so many problems with. Can someone explain this too me please.

My God!Three bathrooms and one won't work? Whats the matter with you Woman? Try using the other two until your husband gets home! I'm wondering how you can use 2 bathrooms at once. Its been written that Jesus tied his A$$ to a tree and walked 40 miles into the desert. Get your Donkey and tie him to your one working toilet and walk to the other good one? But of course you don't have a Donkey, or do you? maybe your Ex is your donkey?

Obviously you missed the part of the conversation when I said I have three bathrooms and TWO don't work. The one that is working is down two flights of stairs and for medical reasons I have problems getting up and down the stairs especially when I am half a sleep in the middle of night. Wow apparently this hit a sore spot for you, don't know why.

cause he's your ex. its time for him to move on. sounds like he's still clinging on to you. its an unhealthy relationship. its all great you have no problems with your ex, but he needs to find someone else's "pipes to clean"

We have a daughter together so we will have to deal with each for a long time, I just don't think that we have to be at each others throats all the time and maybe we can find some level of friendship or cordialness for our daughters sake.

i find that a lot of men tend to be pretty jealous and maybe your hubby is feeling bad because he feels he should be the one there that is taking care of it? i am not sure but thats what i would guess.

I agree, he probably feels bad because he wishes he could be there to fix it, but he's not and I can not continue with this one bathroom thing.

Well, we (males) are jealous of ex-boyfriends/husbands, actually, we don't like them mostly without any reason. If you don't want to get into an argument with your husband I suggest you calling the plumber or someone else but not your ex-husband. I suggest you not to argue with your current husband (especially when he is thousands of miles away) because deep in his consciousness he thinks you'll cheat on him or again fall in love with your ex. It's like built-in mechanism, he probably doesn't think that way but the male's nature does. I hope you get my point.

I get your point I just don't understand why men think that way. He is my ex-husband and he is my ex-husband for a very good reason, I just don't understand.

I also don't know but I also know that I very often think that way when arguing with my girlfriend. We were born like that, to fight with "opponents" and to win the girl and if we see someone as a threat we jump into a fight immediately. I know it sounds kind a stupid but that is the way it is.

Your husband is jealous. It is as simple as that. The fact that he is so far away only adds to his feelings of insecurity. Most men would react this way I think. Even a man who totally trusts his wife would feel uncomfortable with the ex coming around while he is gone. Hire a plumber.
