To think his ex should really keep her beak out?

I have posted before about dps ex and her constant text messages to him and her not having any boundaries - texting dp about problems in her relationship and how she made a mistake leaving him for OM. Dp and I have worked through these and he now has a strategy for dealing with this.

We are going on our first real holiday together. Somewhere he and ex have been together many times. They have been everytime without their dd and go on a yearly basis. His ex wasn’t aware we were going as it doesn’t affect her or their dd in any way. Their dd doesn’t go as the heat would be too much for her and she’s too young.

I posted on social media something about the location and she immediately started texting dp pretty much saying how dare he go without the dd even though they have always chosen to leave her behind. Really grilled dp about it. It’s obviously about her feelings, not the dd. I went mad and quite honestly felt like packing it all in. Feels a bit better today but how can I cope with this behaviour until their dd is old enough that contact doesn’t have to go through the ex? I love dp to bits.

Too true, dollybooo (I'm a poet!)

They could have gone anywhere in the world, but it had to be back to where he went with his ex, and the OP had to tag him in a post about it so the ex would see it.

Transparent GFery.

I got bullied by my ex to go to the same place as he went with his ex. He said it was there or nowhere and got angry about it. It’s a lovely place but I felt awful. He was a total tosser. He’s taken his new partner their as well. I just think sad sack tbh.

I’m really really sorry @Troubledee..... no real help here, but I’ve had my partners ex in our lives for almost 20 years..... partners children are both in their 20’s now😑

I can't believe OP even had the audacity to post on here regarding this when it's clear that she knew it would wind DP ex up. It's like OP sounds as though she is stood on highest mountain that represents her moral high ground here 😂

Your relationship sounds like a shower of shit OP. Any decent man wouldn't entertain all this 'I'm the new woman' gloating and he's clearly enabling it & possibly enjoying the attention. Nor would any decent man take you on holiday to place that was favourable & full of memories towards his ex, but here you are desperate to go & defending it by saying it's ok & not strange due to your hobby .... laughable, really it is!

And you feeling insecure due his response of 'I think so ' in response to you asking if you were going to be together forever Confused total cringe.

Women like you piss me off. Sounding all moral high ground with your post here & desperate to rub the ex's face in it.

And not to mention desperado to go on holiday to the place he went with her, no doubt you will spend most of your time 'tagging' so she can see the pics.

I would be embarrassed of myself if I was you OP. Grow the fuck up.
