I feel like my ex is constantly manipulating me.
It's quite simple..he took me to court in 2016 for access for our daughter (which I never denied)
After 3 hearings, he decided he only wanted to see our daughter for 5 hours a week over 3 days!
This lasted one week and then the excuses started rolling in.
Since then, he has always had our daughter for 2 hours a week on a Tuesday evening 7pm-9pm (his choice)
Recently, I'd say about 3 months ago, he started asking could he come pick our daughter up at 6 instead of 7 which I jumped at because I think bringing our daughter home at 9pm is too late for a 3 year old anyway!
I joined the gym with my friends and started going in them 2 hours, after about 4 times of going, he started saying he can't Guarantee that he can get here for 6pm so I had to then cancel my gym !
As soon as I did, he started turning up at 6 again!
I text him the other day saying "I'm going to Leeds on Tuesday but I'll be back for 7 if you're definitely coming" to which he replied "I'm going to Manchester as it's my day off so I was going to pick her up sooner but I can't it you're going to Leeds"
Like it's my fault!
I thought I'm not having this anymore so I said "well why can't you have her in the morning before we go if it's your day off?" He said "ok"
Then yesterday, he text me saying "7 is fine now" after we'd already arranged the morning!!!
I said "no, we've arranged the morning" he said "well I said id go into work now" so I responded "well you shouldn't have said that you'd go to work as you'd already arranged to have your daughter!" Then he text "ok see you in morning"
This morning we've got up and got ready and half an hour before he's due to come collect our daughter he's text "I've just remembered I don't have a car seat,it's at my mum's what do you want me to do?"
I responded "why has your mum got it?"
No reply.
Ten past 9 my daughter is sat waiting and he's still not turned up or replied to my text.
I actually can't live my life like this anymore.
