For breaking out of the stereotype of etc wives being crazy/twisted/spiteful and actually being really lovely and buying a Christmas present for our ds (her dc's baby brother) a well thought out present as well that he loves!
How dare she.

What a bitch, no wonder he left her, being an awful person like that!!

Really nice actually! Hope you two have a lovely relationship going forward.

Lovely thread! Well done to you all for managing such a mature relationship. My friends parents are like this. They have been divorced for years. Her mum had a new long term partner but her dad is still single. They look after the grand children together, all take trips away as a family together and spend Christmas together. It's heartwarming!
Need more people in the world with attitudes like yours instead of all the bitterness and game playing that only serves to damage people!

I've never met her or her children, but I bought my ex the cutest presents for them both. Plus, I also said to my children not to buy them noisy toys like drums and things that make irritating sounds.

💐💐 for you and the ex! DS has 2 exes, each with a teen child. Each has given the other's child lifts, advice as needed. Now he has a DP who constantly seems to think the other two DC are, or might be, resentful of her own small DC. I can't see it myself.

My ex has a very nice new wife who I like very much. She is fab with my ds and I am very pleased she is part of his life. I feel sorry for her being involved with my ex as I actually think she is far too good for him.

My ex's ex, the mother of his son, was really nice. (Miles nicer than my actual ex, in fact, and certainly far too good for him.)

She once put on a family barbecue for ex's son's birthday and ex and I were invited. I felt totally awkward about this but she and her entire extended family were unbelievably lovely to me. Just really kind, friendly and warm towards me; I was really touched.

I always think you can tell a lot from how your current partner paints their ex. An ex of mine painted the mother of his kids as a mad banshee etc etc. She and I had a good relationship, she'd give me hand me down clothes for my DD. We'd text each other etc.

Wish she'd warned me about him, turns out she divorced him for abuse.
