Posting here as not sure where else to post.

Really odd question but what would you buy for Father’s Day for a recent ex that you just found out had cheated on you so there’s a lot of upset and hurt feelings etc.

i would love to just get nothing at all but unfortunately DC is too young to buy their own gift and I don’t want to come across as the bitter ex and like I’m trying to get back at him through his DC.

But equally I’m not a complete fool so don’t want to go to huge expense or effort, any ideas?

Card and a mug because he's a mug for cheating or a pair of socks.

Don’t buy anything, not even a card. Fold a piece of paper in half, DC draws a picture and writes a message. Your ex shouldn’t need anything more than that.

A card, let your dc scribble on it.

If you really want a gift, just go to a card shop and pick up a keyring or mug for less than a fiver.

I begrudgingly get my youngest dcs dad a gift every year for their sake, but I put zero effort into choosing something nice. Generic shit all the way.

Id buy a simple gift- nothing too extravagant 😊

A card. Just that.
