Name changed in case spotted.
Tonight took DC to one of their activties, as my DP is away this week, his ex took DSS. At the end one of my DC's asked if DSS could stay tonight - i said no as i have the docs tomorrow and it will be hard enough with my 2. I said he could stay tomorrow. Waited at the exit for DSS to arrange tomorrow. He asked why not tonight and i explained about app and said you can stay tomorrow night. Ex just told DSS not to be checky and went out without saying anything to me. Should i be upset or not??

I wouldn't be. What's to be upset about? Questioning you like that was cheeky of him. She told him not to be cheeky. Are you upset because she didn't speak to you? Does she normally? Perhaps she was cross with him for showing her up?

Why would you be upset? Because your partner's ex didn't stop for a chat? Are the two of you friends? If not, I don't see why you'd care.

More upset because she refuses to acknowledge me - this is the first time she has done in it public. I was there will another mum who was a bit shocked at the way she blanked me.

But you said you waited at the exit for your DSS to arrange with his mum, so you didn't exactly walk up to her and start talking either did you?

In the past arrangments for kids have been sorted without too much problem. I am the one who make sure she gets a christmas present and mother's day stuff. Don't think i will bother in future,

Guess it would depend on if she seemed unusually cold rather than not chatting being a fairly normal occurrence.

At least she told him not to be cheeky instead of making a snidey comment.

DSS asked about staying tonight and i answered him and went on to say tommorrow was ok - in the past she would of normally this as a cue and something would of been arranged. Has to be said she hasn't spoken to me in over a year, and thought my illness was just me causing a fuss, so i should be suprised.

Don't even knowwhy i did get upset i shouldn't give her the headspace. I just won't do any favours for her in the future.

I don't see anything there to be upset about?

Why does she have a problem with you? How long had she and your DP been split before you got together?

cupofteaplease · 06/04/2011 21:06

Blanked- I think you are reading too much into this. Consider that she may have been having a bad day? Anything could have been on her mind. Don't make any rash decisions about not doing her favours or buying gifts anymore, based on just one event.

hecate · 06/04/2011 21:22

So you didn't speak to her because you were waiting for her to speak to you?

Maybe she was waiting for you to speak to her?

Simple solution.

Talk to her.

If she doesn't talk back, talk anyway. Act like she is participating. She will either talk back, or she will look an almighty fool. Don't wait for her to talk and then over-analyse it.

Her and my DP had been apart over a year before i met him. She left him.

Hecate u are prob right. We don't really c each other often first in quite a few months
