Minding ex’s dog

[Opinionsplease123]

Is it weird of me to stay at my ex husbands house for up to 4 nights to mind dog? We have been separated and divorced for 18 years. He has been in a relationship the last 10. I know his partner and she was grateful for this. Our kids are 27 and 24. And I have a new boyfriend.

I don't think it's weird, I think it's nice actually. Much better for your sons that his parents get along and are friendly. How long have you been with your boyfriend? It's not really any of his business if you choose to help out your friends, who just happen to be your ex and his partner. Is your boyfriend generally insecure/jealous/controlling?

I wouldn’t have an issue. I know some people would find it unusual. It’s just a friendly thing to pet sit.

I don’t think it’s an issue you have an amicable respectful relationship and you know his partner and get along with her.

As for your new boyfriend on one hand I can see why he is uncomfortable, on the other hand you’ve been divorced 18 years and your ex has a partner who you know etc so I would say he should grow up but it depends on how strong/fragile you’re relationship is and what you want to prioritize.

Thanks all for opinions 🙏
