Back story ExH admitted affair with OW in April left at the end of June after he refused to end their friendship in a relate session. They immediately started weird relationship where OW is with him some of time and with her H (who knows everything) some of the time.
Anyway tonight I was plaiting DD's hair whilst she was on the phone to him and she had it on speaker phone. He says ' I'm here by myself and I'm all lonely' in a tone of voice designed to get her sympathy. I felt like yelling - you created this situation do you think you are the only one who gets lonely. I never ever guilt trip DD I try really hard to make her feel that while I do miss her I am good and keep myself happy.
I just feel like he is making DD feel she is responsible for his happiness and her absence is responsible for his unhappiness. What an unfair burden to put on a 9 year olds shoulders.
Rant over now - thank you.
