Advice... Court experience?
Have discovered that my ex has really been seeing his 'girlfriend' longer than he let on (was still trying to get me back...)Easter weekend he had her with our 3 children (8, 5 and 2) in caravan for 4 nights! (He told me just 1)Had never met her so I decided to introduce myself to her last Weds. She was conveniently standing smoking outside her local with a friend. I was as reasonable / calm as possible. I told her all I needed to including that he told me she was not a serious relationship (hence why involve children, confusing them?) and that I wasn't happy for them to spend time with her as if a family until I was convinced. She would barely speak to me or look at me. She had no idea I was unhappy with the situation. She said she would carry on seeing them! (He has told her god knows what lies about me.) As far as she knew they'd been serious at a time when he was still trying desperately to get me back aswell as playing the field on the side!. So he has completely lied to her and is using her , I believe, to make himself a new make-believe family which excludes me, the ex who wouldn't have him back. What can I do? He is refusing to listen to my requests that kids don't see her. I want to prevent access. We have not yet been to court.

When my xh moved into a bed-sit after we'd split, the first night he had the kids there, his OW stayed the night as well, in his bed, and the kids had to sleep on the floor. I was f*cked off to hell and back. When people behsve like that, they need not wonder why we get a bit difficult. My new dp has never stayed the night at my house, and we've been together a year. I know my kids would not like it much as yet.

No way should he be having them ALL weekend, what about your leisure time with them?

I had this with my ex, and don't worry, court agreed one night at weekend was reasonbable. If he wants any more time, has to be in the week.

Hello.. Am still not regretting introducing myself to exs gf!! I can see why you might think it immature but you haven't met my ex who is incapable of maturity and would have manipulated the situation or primed gf if he'd eventually agreed to us meeting. I just do not care how it might seem, I met her on my own terms.
Got my solicitor involved and have managed to snatch back a meagre 1 night a fortnight from him. This is still 'amicable' mind. And have mentioned in solicitors letter that I'm not happy aboutr situation with gf. He claimed, in a REPLY TO 'HAVE TAKEN THIS ON BOARD. sO, WE WILL SEE. (mUST LEARN HOW TO TYPE WITOUT LOOKING AT KEYS!)
