ex h and I split up a year ago. Both with new partners. I actually met mine before I left. Ex h and I had been unhappy for years and when I met my current dp there was a connection and I ended my marriage so that I could be with him. Ex h and I have one ds who is 4 and spends 4 days a week with ex and 3 with me. This is due to his school.
Problem is that ex is still so bitter. He doesn't communicate with me at all except via text which makes co parenting with him very hard and I worry about the effect it has on our ds.
I have asked him many times to talk to me, to work out how we are going to co parent for the rest of our lives with this much bad feeling between us. The most recent development was that he agreed to meet me.. as long as he could bring his mum!!
his mum is very opinionated and rude and caused problems in our marriage and I do not want her mediating so I have refused this.
I hope it was the right thing to do. money is tight and I can't afford professional mediation. I suggested a mutual friend instead but he refused saying it was his mum or no one.
at my wits end. Will also add that I didn't cheat on my ex. he knew that I wanted to be with someone else but nothing happened until after I moved out.
