My ex...

I split with ex about 6 months ago. He's a shit bag I just never realised at the time. He comes to see the kids once a week. They are both toddlers. He just bounces them about a bit talks to them. Plays with them from the chair he's sitting on stays an hour or 2. Does not do any parenting . Just the fun bits. I have stayed friendly to him because I don't want bad vibes for the kids. When messaging me about the kids he also ask how was my day what have I been up to bit of general small talk. But he also sends kiss emoji hearts and I love you type. And he sends messages like "i know you still love me" I reply things like you wish..fool and things like that. I have older children that are not his.my 15 year old went out with him to pick up a takeaway a few weeks back. And he said don't say anything to your mum. But I think she still loves me. Because of the signals she's giving. As far as I know I'm not giving any. So do I need to distance myself from him?

Keep conversation just about the children. Also why can't hevp pick them up and take to where he lives?

If that's not an option, I suggest you go out when he comes over . Better still, get dressed up and go out while he's there.

Just get a lock on your bedroom door and keep personal belongings secure.

He'll soon realise you don't love him.

He sounds full of himself.

No not leaving him alone with the kids. But I guess he's going to have to get the message
