Hi.
Split with EXP 3 months ago. Trying to stay friendly and amicable, despite the way he's gone about things since before we broke up.
Have 1 DS who is supposed to stay with him about 2 nights a week and spend 1 day at the weekend with him. Flexible on this due to work shift patterns and DS nursery etc. We also agreed he can come any eveing after work to see DS before bed...that has happened once..the week after we split.
Anyway, EX has a new woman, the same woman who he was 'friends' with before we split. Just decided to tell me a month a ago. He has gone on nights out when he wants, weekends away, never giving a thought that maybe I want time to go out so he can have DS for a change.
An example.....He last had DS thurs night, dropped off nursery fri morning. Since then I've had no phone calls or texts asking how DS is or what he's been up to. Just a quick text to say he will have him again thurs night. Thats a whole week without seeing him!!! This weekend just gone, didn't have him as he was 'away' again. ALSO..these full days when he has DS, was supposed to be from 10am til 8pm ish. The weekend before last, I gave DS his lunch before he picked him up at 1pm, then he wanted to drop him off at 6pm. Told him I had a life as well.
Can't understand it....he adores DS and DS adores him. Why would/could he do this?
I know it's this new woman thats getting all his attention right now but I'm getting so pissed off with it and it's not fair on our child. I'm trying to be calm and friendly but week by week it's getting worse.
What can I do?

When does it get better if EXP has a new woman to occupy him?
