Hi - I'm new to this but just wondered if I'm the only person who resents their ex's lifestyle ? We split up nearly 2 years ago now and have 2 children, who live with me but visit their dad every other weekend and stay one night a week with him, which seems to work well for everyone involved. When we split up, I discovered he had quite significant debts that he'd kept hidden from me, but he is still able to go out and buy sports cars, designer clothes, go on holiday at the drop of a hat and then has the nerve to complain that childcare costs are too high, and that things are tight financially for him. I feel he's living the lifestyle he always wanted (playboy aspirations !!), has the added bonus of seeing his kids for a couple of days at a time and not having to deal with the day-to-day situations that crop up with them and family life in general. I'm in a new relationship and I think this resentment is starting to affect that. Someone tell me to pull myself together ! I know I'm not in a bad situation by any means...
