Ex lives nearby with his partner whom I’ve never met as he does all the pick ups/drop offs and just dropped the kids off from one of their clubs, we spoke a bit and he tells me ‘ she sees you everyday on the school run’ AIBU to think it’s rude/creepy that his partner is watching us from a distance and doesn’t say hi but gets straight on the phone to him? She works near my dcs school, so on the way to her work she has to past the school. I don’t know, I just feel weird that she sees us everyday but doesn’t say hi? When he left, I texted him that she can say hi next time she sees us I don’t bite. He told me to ‘grow up’ ‘ she’s got a life and needs to get to work’ Hmm. I don’t know, maybe she’s shy. AIBU to think it’s creepy?

It's a bit weird. She's interested/invested in you enough to ring your ex with a commentary on what you look like etc, but not to acknowledge you.

One of my ex's girlfriends used to slow her car down and glare at me going past, but when I smiled at her at the school gates, pretended she didn't know who I was 😂 people are strange.

We only have OP's ex's word for this.
And he fancies himself a master manipulator.
He actually just a snarty little twonk who enjoys shitstirring & imagining himself in the middle of 2 competing women.

Don'e rise to his pathetic bait OP.

My DPs ex actively blanks me and once came in the house to use the loo and even did it then.

Think yourself lucky Grin

Gf could well be mortified if she knew ex was passing these messages on.

Sounds like he enjoys causing a rift between you too.

Attention seeker!

I think she’s telling your ex she sees you as she wants to say hi, but maybe doesn’t know how well it would be received, but then your ex obviously doesn’t see it like that hence the ‘grow up’ remark.

Maybe you could text her?

YABU to think it's creepy.

YABU to entertain this shit-stirring from your ex.

I bet this has actually only happened once or twice that she's seen you doing the school run.

If you know what she looks like then how come you or the kids have never seen her?

Anyway keep an eye out for her and you go over to her and say hi.

Because they're a lot of traffic on that road, so she's either seen us cross the road or is probably one of those many people who's walking behind us after we've crossed the road. That's the only way I can think of how she's seen us.

If she was easily visibly, I know the kids would have shouted " hey there's X" and pointed.

Another one saying i think ur ex is maybe chatting crap. Ive never met a woman who frquently tells their partner oh i saw ur ex today...

InACheeseAndPickle · 07/12/2019 11:30

I don't think it's weird she doesn't say hi, since she doesn't know you. Also how do you know she doesn't just see you walking past while she's on the other side of the road. It would be very awkward to shout from a distance to someone she doesn't even know, but not that weird to mention to her partner she sees you.
