To think that he just wants to show off?

I'm currently living with ex but moving out soon, he's met someone new and he sees her a lot.

He just got home and the girl was waiting for him outside our house, he went back out again.

As far as the neighbours are concerned, we're still married and we agreed not to tell them anything until he moves out.

So there is he, with the girl holding hands and walking her into the car. I'm just wondering what he would have said if the neighbours saw him? We're good friends with our neighbours.

I just feel like he just wanted to show her off, in case I was looking out of the window. I could hear him speaking to someone and looked out, and that's when I saw her. I feel like asking him why he felt the need to bring her to our house, I don't want him to think I'm jealous or anything. It just annoyed me seeing her when he didn't want us to tell the neighbours anything.

Sorry for the rant

I think you're perfectly entitled to feel upset and annoyed, but I don't know what you can do except ask him to treat you with a bit more respect til you move out given he loved you once?

Why are you putting on a show for the neighbours?

You've split. He wants to hold her hand. I don 't think it's a big deal.

YABU.

Presumably if the neighbours see they’ll assume he’s having an affair, unless you proactively tell them you’re divorcing. Does that matter to you?

It might be a bit awkward for a bit but living together as exes makes that unavoidable. It’s his home too and he has a right to do what he likes. Especially as he’s not even bringing her inside, just not keeping her away from the outside!

No doubt it’s reassuring to her too, if he wouldn’t allow her near the home she might think he’s having an affair. Letting you see her may put her mind at rest that he is actually single.
