My ex moved out over a year ago before covid, however he doesn’t ever have the children where he lives as it’s not possible for him to have them where he is. So on the nights that he would have them, he comes to our house to see them, to have his dinner, puts them to bed then leaves.
My question is about social bubbles. If he had his own place to have the children visit him then we would each be able to form a social bubble. Obviously like everyone I’m missing my family. My children are missing their family. I would love to bubble with them.
But in this scenario, would my ex count as our bubble because he still comes to the house? We do get on, it’s amicable, but he comes here to see the kids not me. I’m just feeling a bit isolated and mental health is suffering. He works, so I have the kids all day every day homeschooling, cooking, cleaning, being a referee to their arguments, dealing with their sadness over the way life is atm, it’s sometimes a bit much. It can be days between him coming and me having any kind of support or help or face to face adult conversation. But he does come here so does that count as each other’s bubble?
