I am currently dating a guy who has just come out of a 9 year relationship with his ex girlfriend. We have been friends since october when this started to happen. He has finally left her and we have started a relationship. Last night we were watching a movie when the phone rang AGAIN. It was of course his ex girlfriend, she called to ask if he had drove a hour out to there old house where she still lives and if he had taken the dog. Of course he didn't but she swears he did. Today at 5am we got a call from her again. Sure enough the dog showed up when she was on her way to work. I'm so sick of her STUPID phone calls that mean nothing to him , me, or have anything to do about his children. He's sick of the calls and used to ignore them from time to time because she can get annyoing. I told him I didn't mind if he talked to her while I was around thinking thats why he was ignoring them. I also told him straight up that if he was gunna be with me he was not to ignore her calls if and when she has the children. He agreed and said I hope you can understand how all this is happening and that I am only in contact with her because of the kids. I really hopes he sticks to his word about not ignoring her. Yes shes his x but if s she has the kids something could be wrong and he hopefully wont miss a chance to help. Hopefully all works out well. He's glad I'm not jealous and I guess by showing that I care about him and the kids that he knows I care and wont cause any drama between him and the x. I will stand by his side and help him fight for whats his while staying out of the drama that she causes. We have recently moved in together and when we told her she kinda took a hissy fit. Thats fine with us tho she can act how she wants, ever since then she has called way more and I swear she is trying to break us up and have him move back home. But he is done with it and is going through lawyers to fight for the kids and deal with the house stuff. So for now I guess we just have to deal with it which we have and we are not allowing this to have any part of our relationship as friends/ partners due to the fact that its all drama and we can see what she is trying to do. Which I feel is make one of us weak enough to break with all of her stupid calls and emails and such. Ughhh I hate her, but hey she trained him for 9 years and now he's a real man. I see him argue with her and I see how he deals with it. He never gets mad and after its done its done, he doesn't carry out with the attitude he had with her. He goes back to the loving , caring, sweet man I get to keep.

Glad to hear you are being supportive of him keeping contact with her due to kids being involved, as that helps show him what type of woman you are. But it also sounds like until a Lawyer is involved to help work out all of the sticky details, it sound like this could be a long drawn out drama, and you could be in for a long wait. All I can say is no matter what happens if this man really Loves you and wants you, things will work out for the best even if it takes time.

She is so jealous to see him happy. And he doesn't try to hide a thing from her. He sort of wants her to feel bad because shes the one who cheated on him and dated someone else while he still lived there for over a year. While he was suckered into staying for the kids. Poor guy. But foolish moves on his part for putting up with it. But that shows me how much he cares for his kids which just makes me love him that much more.

It sounds like you married a fine young man and he is
trying to breakit off with his x. Just be greatful for
the guy you have and sooner or later the x will have to
see that x means x and not keep intruding on you two.It
will be nice if he can get his kids back.

I think this lady is concerned about dealing with her loneliness plus the kids. I mean, how easy is that for her ? I know the two of them have split up but you can't split the kids. They're there forever. The best thing is a firm agreement. Otherwise it will continue forever.

Wow, it sounds as if you have a difficult situation on your hands! I imagine that it is just very difficult for her to let go after being with him and depending on him for so long. I am sure that time will help the situation as she begins to realize that he has moved on. Hopefully he will be able to tell her in a firm but nice way that he has found someone else that he wants to be with. It sounds like you are dealing with it exceptionally well by not acting jealous and by caring about the kids. Best of luck to you in your relationship.

That is a hard situation and she is using the kids as a way to keep him in her life. I've heard storied from friends and they deal with the same thing. SOme people have a harder time leaving relationships than others and it sounds like she cant let go of him. Its her routine and she doesnt seem to be trying to break it. I give you alot of credit , stick by him hes having a hard time too ! If he is a good man his kids are first in his life! Time heals so hopefully for your relationship she grows up soon. Wish the best for you all!

And he feels that the kids are the only reason he still talks to her. He said shes not the type of girl he would talk to after a break up. He would have left her 8 years ago if they didn't have kids.

i'm so sorry that you have to encounter this situation with your partner's ex... as long as the two of you really love each other and you support each other, just ignore her... just enjoy each other's company and show her that nothing she does can break the two of you apart... good luck and i hope everything will went well for you... take care and have a nice day...

In the early part of the end of a relationship, especially when there are children involved and one of the partners has moved on to a new relationship, is very difficult for everyone to deal with. Your bf needs to be a responsible parent but that does not mean that his ex can disrupt his life for little or no reason. Since he is able to remain calm when talking to her, he just needs to get his message across that he's living his life apart from her now by cutting these conversations short as often as he can. He can do it nicely but firmly and eventually she will get on with her life.
