Just wondered how many people still have a relationship with their ex partners/husbands mum after you split? Did problems occur once you started to move on with your life?
I’m finding it hard as although ex had an affair and was emotionally abusive his mum (he is an only child) thinks the sun still shines out of his backside and doesn’t want me to talk about him at all (I obviously don’t have anything nice to say). She doesn’t know he used to say he wished he was an orphan and the 20mins with her once a week when he dropped her home was hell.
She can be very woe is me and hard done by (her social life is 100 times better than mine) and sulks over the slightest thing. She is on the phone to me every day and gets the hump if I don’t answer. Pre lock down she came over every week. I’m really not sure how much of a relationship I want to have with her once lockdown ends.
I know if she gets ill in the future my ex will want to dump the responsibility on me. He’s also planning a future with the women he had an affair with and I don’t want to hear about their new life from her or have her telling him anything about mine. Is it normal to feel like this or am I just being mean.
