Ex left me for OW when DS was a couple of months old. As DS is still quite young and still breastfed ex and I spend a lot of time together as its the most convenient way for us all. He spends a lot of time with us and in my home and I'm really feeling uncomfortable with it and want to try and rebuild a relationship with him that will allow us to be good parents to our son and not just argue or sit in silence whenever we are together.
Obviously there is a lot of hate from my side and also some jealousy. Ex has been proven to be a compulsive liar and I don't trust him at all but I think its important for us to try and rebuild a bit of trust. He hates any form of conflict or uncomfortable conversation so he generally just refuses to engage if I try to discuss issues. Ive3 tried discussing issues over text rather than face to face but he'll just ignore any message he doesn't like.
I'm just really looking for something that we could do to improve our relationship. Has anyone been in a similar situation and has any advice to give regarding how they have maintained a good relationship with their ex?
