Dad going to Disneyland without his son

Just a rant really about how heartless some men people are. A couple (in their forties with an 8 year old son) I know broke up two years ago. Man had found a younger model (25, blonde, curvy bimbo). I am not close friends with woman but we meet regularly (friend's friend). I run into the man and his bimbo often (she does seem really sweet and kind but not alot brain activity going on). Man has his son 2 week-ends per month and he always complains about how his ex is ruining him financially (I see him often so I don't want a conflict I just say that children are expensive and leave it there). Well today he said he's going to Disneyland during the christmas holidays.I said that "Ben" must be thrilled. That's when he goes "Oh, no we're not taking him. I'm sick of just thinking about everryone else. I already took him with ex when he was younger. This time me and "Bimbo" are going to just have fun. But don't tell Ben or ex. Haha". Bimbo giggling beside him. I went numb. I couldn't find any words. How can you be so utterly selfish it's beyond me. And how a man in his forties can enjoy Disbeyland is beyond me but that's another issue.
I don't want to tell the woman because it's none of my business and also because it's just so bloody hurtful.
AIBU not telling her?

Strange nowadays to hear women speaking of other women in such a misogynistic way.

I would tell the ex wife. If he didn't want her to know, he shouldn't have told you.

Stop judgement of the girlfriend. YABU with that!

Yanbu of him being a shit dad 🤷‍♀️

Sweet and kind but still needs to be stereotyped as a bimbo? Mmm.

What does the woman's hair colour or body shape have to do with anything?

I fail to see a problem, to be honest. It’s fine for a parent to have experiences without a child every now and again.

I think you should probably wind your neck in generally tbh.

i would be fascinated to hear this ‘bimbos’ assessment of you tbh.

"Bimbo" ?

What is wrong with you

DoreenonTill8 · 25/11/2024 08:25

'Bimbo' usage just makes you look ridiculous.
Why so invested in 'friend of friend'?
