My ex is being really out of order. I've already gone into detail in a different post. He left this week and says he has been staying in a hostel when i suspect he is with another woman. Are hostels still operating due to the lockdown. Just trying to get answers to his horrible lies

Why? You know he is cheating, he has left the family home for a SECOND time. If your desperately trying to cling onto hope he be coming back. You are mistaken.

He doesn't love you, harsh but he left you twice. You need to rebuild your life independently with your children.

It's variable. Some are yes. Some aren't.

I am fully aware of what he is and im not clinging to anything. I am just trying to find the answer to the question because I'm trying to find out for myself. Its easy to say just forget it and move on straight away and rebuild your life. I just want to know so I know...

Of course some hostels and hotels are open for keyworkers but that's hardly the issue. If you don't believe him then that's that. Why bother?

I suppose I mean you're focusing your energy on the wrong thing. There's no "gotcha" if he's been lying. It no longer matters.

Im not clinging to anything. He uses it as an excuse to not see his child. I have given him opportunity to have access and says hes staying in a hostel. Then threatens me with court. I just want to be armed with the truth before it gets nasty because that's where he is trying to take this.

I u understand why you want to know. I personally wouldn't care less, but i get it.

If you know the area he stayed you could ring a few but that's no guarantee as he may have stayed so.eahere else.

You could ask him outright but he may rightfully tell you it's none of your business.

If you are wanting to use this to label him a liar/cheat I think you have your work cut out for you. Is that why you want to know for yourself? To know if he cheated on you?

No it's not about the cheating,even though that is the absolute worst. Its the constant lies and all these things stop him from seeing his child. There should be no excuses it's just upsetting me quite a bit

If he’s staying in hostels then he hardly has the money to take you to court does he.

Can you tell him that the kids have created a card for for him and want to post it so you need his address?

His answer will tell you a lot.
