Try to keep it short here.
I have been with my OH 2 years now, he split up with his ex just before we met they have a DS. She now has another boyfriend, yet still rings my ex for pointless things, or txts for stupid things or sends pictures of DS even tho my OH has asked her to stop. It’s causing so much friction between me and OH he doesn’t want to offend or upset her, but he agrees that she doesn’t seem to be fully moving on. He also agrees it’s not fair on me, they have equal shared custody so it’s not like he is away from DS longs spells of time. I have even asked her nicely myself to please move on but ended up with his sister txting me abuse because they are still friends.

@TheHoneyBadger

She was at me first.
At you? Or disagreed with you?

@MistressMounthaven

I agree - about other posters being obtuse. Deliberately twisting the information to make you the bad guy. I'm a devoted DGM but I don't want constant facetimes of my lovely DGCs - let alone at work!!! ARe all the posters SAHM with time on their hands that they can constantly deal happily with constant txts and facetime calls about what must be nothing - not enough happens in a day to warrant several contacts/questions. The ex is manipulating the DS which is the real problem.
Because of course SAHM - or SAHP that should read - have nothing much to do all day except twiddle their thumbs and faff about with FaceTime and social media 🙄

No, I work full time in a professional job thanks. Must be why I am able to look at a photo or text without it taking a huge chunk of my day......

facetiming is different, it's not a 3 second glance.

I'm sorry but the fuck.. he doesn't want pictures of his child because she has his own pictures. Unbelievable. Remember there is going to be a first time for everything, first time he does something that could be caught on camera and your partner wouldn't want to see that?

I do understand the face timing is a bit much. But they will always be linked by this little boy and you have to accept it. I dont think it's a case of her moving on I think it's a case of you realising she's in your lives and that's that. You can either let them co parent and have a good relationship for the sake of their DS or your going to ruin your relationship with DS.
