Seperated last Jan, divorced Dec. Everything was amicable, and I made an effort to keep it so for DD (14yrs). Suddenly ex started dating girl in SA, (we come from there, moved here 11 yrs ago). He flew over 6 wks after first starting to chat and got engaged, planning to marry in Dec and move over there.
Few issues. I had a bit of a 'reaction' when I found out via fb of his new relationship, even though I was still treating him like a friend and had seen him that very day, without him breathing a word to me, so was insulted that he didn't tell me in person, out of respect.
Since then, after apologizing for my outburst (about the way he handled it rather than him being in a relationship), he has behaved as though I have a problem, and has started treating me worse and worse, eventually only communicating directly with DD.
DD has had enough of this, and of him, and has now decided she wants no contact with him whatsoever. I think they are just moving way too fast for her.
AIBU to think this is really stupid, engaged after 7 weeks, married after 5 months, and he is treating me like I am the one who is being difficult and turning his daughter against him? She is very independently minded and told him herself tonight when he told me over the phone that he didn't believe she was saying this, that it was all me.
