Ex blamed my teen ds for our breakup

My 2 youngest 8 and 9 have been at their dad's for the weekend. They have come home and told me dad said you and him broke up because of C. Apprently they were having a chat about it in the car . I have not over questioned them. But I did tell them that's not true. We did not break up because of C. I don't hate ex or anything. But we broke up because of how he is. When we broke up I felt a massive weight lift . As I say I don't hate him. But I could never ever be in a relationship with him. No way.

Do I say anything to him or leave it?

Oh and C knows because ds 8 told him

My ex h blamed his affair on me to our adult children. They shut him down sharpish. Always tell your kids the truth in an age appropriate way.

He's a dick putting that on the kids.
Adult relationship problems remain between the adults.

I think ex actually believes it was because of C though.

I told the kids that it was nothing to do with C and daddy should not be saying that.

Exactly if they asked I would have just said to them. Lots of parents live separately. We are still friends. We both love you . And then made it positive about doing fun stuff at the weekend etc.

Ex was meant to pay maintenance yesterday. I think he's purposely withholding it. I told him not to say stuff to the kids.

Oh I can't remember why I put that name 😅
Yeah I'm.not even going to ask him for it. Well I will need to at some point. He didn't even acknowledge his birthday gift. Normally he would.
