to wonder why my exH's new dp absolutely HAS to come in when he picks DC up

me and exH are mostly pretty friendly now, we have been split over 5 years and i am remarried with another DC

he has been going out with his girlfriend for about 6 months now, and every time he picks up his DC (aged 5)
DC likes her and she seems ok, other than, she HAS to come in with exH when he collects DC, and they both just kind of stand there Hmm while i am getting dc ready and its all awkward, she doesn't speak really other than to say hello. and she stares at me, even my DH has noticed. i just pick up this uncomfortable vibe from her as if she doesn't like me. (i might be being paranoid here but its the impression i get)

she is by no means his first GF since we split, he has had quite a few and most i have met and got on with fine.

also a couple of months ago i friend requested her on facebook and she rejected it. which i found quite strange as she comes in my house every weekend and also has my son every weekend with my ex. obviously its entirely up to her who she is friends with on facebook but i just found it a bit odd.

its just weird, if she doesn't like me for any reason then why not just sit in the car, exH only comes in for a few minutes.

She's just threatened by you. And most likely a little insecure and jealous. He loved you enough to marry you and have children with you. Divorced or not, it sounds like she is being a bit territoriable with him - which will either go away as she becomes more confident in the relationship and realises she doesn't have to compete with you or she will turn into a jealousy ridden idiot who hates her ex husbands partner - ultimately because you were there first.

LOL @ that

he didn't really love me that much, neither of us wanted to get married really (we were young and naive and got pressured into it, long story) and dc was an accident

so really, she has NOTHING to be insecure about :o
