Ex partners

[ashmo78]

My husband returned home tonight from picking up his son who lives approx 100 miles round trip. In the 3 years we hv been together and the year we hv been married there have been various issues but we have always managed to maintain a civil partnership with his ex partnerò. Tonight my husband came in with many fathers day gifts from his son.. in all his years from his sons mother he never received a gift. I'm thinking there is more to this... am I being over cautious ?

What do you think is going on? Maybe his son wanted to get him a gift and she helped him. Hard to say from what you’ve described.

I’d be very surprised if my DSC showed up with gifts for DH for any occasion as she’s never been involved and I arranged Father’s Day, birthday, Christmas things with them for him every year and have done since we’ve all lived together.

If they ever brought anything here I’d assume it was their idea, they get a bit of pocket money now they’re older, and they’d picked it up when with her. But the ill will between DH and the kids mum is mutual so I know she wouldn’t have suggested it.

Are you worried she’s putting the moves on him now you’re married?

I've always known she has never totally let go of my husband. She treated him badly and when he finally left it was a shock for her. When he and i got together that caused more issues as he had actually moved on. Things hv been good and the last year has been very settled. Our kids do not do gifts unless prompted and this makes me suspicious as it has never ever happened before.

What does your husband make of it? You don’t say how old your step son is but are they from her or from him?

You and your DH know what’s what, I would try not to worry about her motives and at least this is a good weird one rather than a horrible weird one

I suppose your right. .. it's definetly a gift from his ex. My husband and I sons are the same age!! I honestly don't believe these are gifts he would hv wanted to get his dad. I am maybe over thinking but it does mk me very uncomfortable. Hubby just shrugs it off which makes me more curious. We hv major issues with my ex but thus is ok!
