Do I tell the ex's wife what he's really like?

So long story short. I have two DD 12 and 10 with ex - we have seperated over 6 years officially but we were done at least 3 years before that largely due to ex infidelity and screwing me over money/business.

Fast forward to today we have both remarried and had more children.
ex is always difficult and has always made issues of everything - hiding actual income ( we started a business together which he is director of and it makes millions) so CM is low in comparison.
childcare arrangements are always based on his needs and will canx last min if something more important comes up. But the main crux is if he can't do something ie collect DD because one has a sniffle for example he will ALWAYS call me (I shouldn't answer I know) and start a conversation to attack me and goade me about how shit of a mum I and that I dnt care about DD and I would send them illness or not. I know this sounds like a non issue but he triggers me because he was like this in our marriage - everything was my fault when it went wrong.
Anything positive was down to him.
it's now showing with our DDs. And it triggers me.

His mrs is really good to my girls but I know he puts me on loud speaker shows my messages to her when we argue (no doubt making me to be a crazy bitch which is why he left me according to her).
im so sick of just accepting what he says to me for the sake of the girls and he still ends up being father of the year that can't do wrong in DDs eyes as I hide the shit he gives me. Literally.

Im so tempted to get my back and just list chronologically with evidence the facts of our marriage and divorce and after to his Mrs so she understands to some extent what a prick he is to me. I know I shouldn't and will make no difference and I will look like the crazy bitch but I just want to cause shit in his life like he does to me just by triggering me as he used to when I was married to him. I'm petty I know but after almost 10 years of covering his shitty behaviours I'm done because nothing changes and he seemingly has just got away with his shitness .

Grey rock. Stop talking to him on the phone. Just email or text only. Whatever nonsense he comes up with just reply with "grand". And ignore ignore. She won't believe you, and at the moment you're playing right into his hands anyway.

If she ever asks you - by all means tell her.

You may think it will help you move on but it won't. What his new wife thinks about you is absolutely irrelevant. The problem is the anger you carry and hate is a stronger bond than love, in many cases.
If you at all open to doing some inner work, I highly recommend "conscious uncoupling" book.

I know it would achieve NOTHING she is living a good life with him but I know it will annoy him. Because he denies my version of what happened. From the affairs to the theft of our business. And the fact he doesn't show me any respect and seemingly has more of a go at me than in her presence really triggers me.

Do you really think she'd be interested? I wouldn't guarantee it.

Tink3rbell30 · 04/01/2025 11:04

I wouldn't bother. Most women are dull enough to side with the useless man and not believe the woman.

Star81 · 04/01/2025 11:04

She wouldn’t care.

She believes his narrative and you would just be giving more evidence to his claim of you being crazy.

stop talking to him on the phone , use email or text only. If he calls ignore it and message back saying sorry can’t answer a call just now , text only what’s wrong ?

Move on with your life.

You have nothing to gain from doing this.
His current wife will have her own relationship with him and yours is not relevant. Just leave them to get on with their lives.
