I have remained friends with my ex since we split up 7½ years ago and we have continued to share the dog. I sometimes have the dog weekends but he has generally had him in the week as he has been out of work. A year ago, he got a new girlfriend (in fact they got engaged barely 3 months after they met). He made it known a few months ago that she resented my existence and didn?t like us having any contact. I barely have any contact with him now on account of this and any contact we do have is kept to a minimum. He rang me a couple of weeks ago to tell me that for her birthday (which is next Friday) she is demanding that he cut all ties with me, deletes my number from his phone book and says that I can no longer have the dog except on special occasions. She says she hates me although I have always been friendly and gave her a lift home when they first met. He has said no to her demand and called tonight to tell me that they haven?t spoken all weekend after an argument about this issue. She?s had her phone switched off but rang him tonight to repeat her demand. Can you think of a way forward with this one? It makes me sad to think I can?t see the dog as I love having him. My partner thinks she is being totally unreasonable, as do I.
