Not really an Aibu as such but posted for traffic.

My ex husband and I have been separated for over 3 years. We have a court order in place for the children as of Oct 2016.

He is not taking me back to court because I won't agree to a spreadsheet dictating when each of us takes the children to the dentist, Dr's, hairdressers, get there feet measured and when they speak to the other parent when they are not with them! Despite me saying we can have a conversation about it, because I won't go to mediation (because a, there's no point and b I can't afford it). I've very recently remarried so I. Wonder if this has sparked his narcissist traits off again and he's trying to control every last thing.

Does anyone have an experience of this?

Thanks in advance

Xxx

Brilliant. Exactly as it should have been. Well done!

Standinguptononsense · 08/10/2018 14:39

Thank you. They were not impressed. He couldn't even justify why he was there!

ah excellent news standing I hope he keeps his head down for a bit but I wouldn't be surprised (but you know him best) if he is smarting at the public nature of the dressing down and if he'll try to get one over on you another way. But I think you'd be alive to that possibility anyway!
Enjoy playing back today in your mind Grin

Standinguptononsense · 08/10/2018 15:12

Yes quite possible. But for the minute I remain smug 😂😂

I think in my mind I'd take the opportunity for this wish to control to get him to pay more for things. Eg haircuts, new school shoes. Let him have his little hollow victory and he won't even register that actually he's saving you money!
He'll do it once or twice then stop anyway. Kill with kindness is what I'd recommend at this point.

Standinguptononsense · 08/10/2018 16:58

Yeah absolutely. That's what I've been doing with the haircuts the past 2 months. He'll give up on the appointments now as he not got what he wants
