Split with my EXH 2 years ago. It's been relatively amicable although he'd moved in with someone else within 3 months so that was difficult. He's not very good with the whole communicating thing. I asked him to tell me if he was going to introduce his gf to my daughter. He promised he would but then didn't. Asked him to tell me if she was moving in - he didn't. That's all done now so no point in worrying.

Recent issue. Our daughter started secondary school recently. We share the pick ups between us although I'm office based and he wfh so I really rely on him. Today my daughter out of the blue asks me how she's going to get home when daddy is on holiday. Holiday!? Called him and yep he's booked to go away for 7 nights from Thursday with his girlfriend.

My dilema now. Our area is on the verge of a local lockdown. News this evening saying it will be within days. This means I can get no help with childcare as my daughter won't be able to go into her grandparents house. I have to work still. I don't want to stop them going but I feel a bit like he should be putting her first and not go.

What do u think?

Thanks Kimbo. Tbh you are probably right. I'm not over it. Its just hurts that he's managed to move on so quickly. The whole marriage and 15 years together feels like a distant memory now.

I think I do need more distance. We still message quite alot and perhaps that's made him heading on holiday even harder. I'm trying to not let my feelings cloud the way I respond to this sort of thing but it's difficult. I still wish he had told me though that he was going..

Thank you for your messages.

my dd now 21 would come home from school on the bus and let herself in and amuse herself until I arrived home. Rules not to cook or answer the front door where in place.

Do you have neighbours your dc could go to in an emergency?

@MilleBee its probably no wonder your ex of 2 years is not playing nice considering you met a new boyfriend three years ago?? Such an amateur. Maybe learn how to go between usernames!! Wink

What a complete bitch you are!! We split way before that because I caught him in bed with another woman. You really need to consider other people before you post and the impact you have in people. Thanks for that. You have officially pushed me over the edge this evening.
