Ex's girlfriend at my house acting odd

86 replies

TheSilentSister · 17/09/2023 19:27

So, for context, I still live in the marital home and ex divides his time between another country (where his g/f lives) and here. He's currently here and his g/f has come over (agreed by me). She's acting all weird. We've met and she's stayed here before. I'm wondering whether it's because I've lost weight and actually look younger than her now or if there's other reasons. It's so odd. They've been together for 6 yrs and the last time she was here I was quite a bit overweight.
I won't say I'm bending over backwards but I'm being incredibly civil given the circumstances. Ex is running around like a headless chicken.

OP wants everyone to tell her that the ex's GF is jealous because OP has lost weight and looks better than she used to. That's why she posted. An ego boost. Yawn.

Jesus wept. A genuine problem and zero. Well, that's me out.

But what do you want us to do or say?

There could be upwards of a million reasons why she's acting weird, and literally not one of them to do with you.

For context - I don't want this at all, I hate it. I have no choice and he exploits my good nature.

This is your choice, just say "no"" get an airbnb or use booking dot com for accommodation

@HungryWisdom it's when you're using the app. For some reason the first name you post as on the app is the one thats there, you have to delete it and write in your other one. Proper pita🙄

tescocreditcard · 17/09/2023 20:50

OP you never answered my question - are the kids at home when you and your ex husband are there with your boyfriend and his girlfriend? Do you both sleep their with your partners?

He owns half the house. Hasn't been abusive. I have no grounds to kick him out. She is a nice person, I have no beef with her. Ex has had to put up with my b/f.
Yes, it's a living hell.

Well, this is the grounds to say something needs to be sorted. It's beyond odd to be living together six years after splitting up.

Your OP is about ex’s gf acting weird. Is that the problem you’re referring to? Is that really a problem? It seems it’s switched to the fact you’re still partially sharing with your ex. 🤷‍♀️

Rewis · 17/09/2023 21:09

Maybe she's being weird cause she is staying and her boyfriends house with his wife (or ex wife if you're actually divorced)?

It doesn't sound like she comes over all the time so it's totally natural. So it could even be that there is some tension between the two of them due to the situation.

On a side note, how is it possible to accidentally name change now? It automatically switches to whatever name you used when first posting.
Unless you are not the original poster @Walkingalot ?

This. How is it possible? Unless it is two different accounts.

sell the house.

Scienceadvisory · 17/09/2023 21:16

If this is actually happening then you obviously just want people to tell you she must be so jealous of you now you've lost weight.

PonyPatter44 · 17/09/2023 21:22

There doesn't have to be abuse for couples to divorce and sell the marital home, does there? Are you still sleeping with your ex?

It must be very confusing for your kids!

GirlOfTudor · 17/09/2023 21:23

Still sharing a house with your separated husband? Who you broke up with 6 yrs ago?
Yeah I'd find that weird too if I was the gf. But then I wouldn't agree to stay in the house, or even date a man who hadn't fully separated from his wife.

brighterstarer · 17/09/2023 21:28

tescocreditcard · 17/09/2023 19:38

Eww! Do you have kids in the house?

Is that you op. 👀 Name change fail 🤔

AndIKnewYouMeantIt · 17/09/2023 21:32

What are you gonna do, share a property until you're 80? Don't be daft. Why is she even with a man who cocklodges with his own ex-wife?

GoryBory · 17/09/2023 21:42

So you’ve been separated for at least 6 years and you still have to have him and his new gf come to your home??

That’s not normal OP and the gf is probably acting weird because it is a weird situation and she’s sick of it.

I’m surprised your boyfriend is so ok with.

Sell the house and use half of the money to buy another one.

This is quite bizarre op! You post and then flounce before actually responding to anyone.

I wonder if the GF is being weird or if she’s just really confused by your behaviour?

Exactly!

How long is this going to go on for??

I understand perhaps the first 12 months to give you time to sort yourself out but this is ridiculous.

GoryBory · 17/09/2023 21:45

I assume OP has got annoyed because posters were being rude about the name change fail, which is unfair as lots of people change their name.

fruitbrewhaha · 17/09/2023 21:47

Yes, she is acting strangely because you’ve lost weight and now look better than her.

Is that what you’d like us to say? Because no one on here knows why she is acting weird.

JohnnyYenSetHimselfOnFireAgain · 17/09/2023 21:50

I don't think the thread is going quite as the OP had hoped. 😂

Cazziebo · 17/09/2023 21:51

I'd be acting weird in that situation! In fact, I'd be insisting my DP book an Air BnB or hotel and start the proceedings to unshare the house.

Odd situation. I don't think it's anything to do with you, OP.

tescocreditcard · 17/09/2023 22:04

brighterstarer · 17/09/2023 21:28

I think it's probably you that's the OP. You crazy woman you.

You can have one name on your laptop and another on your mobile.
