This is about a close friends relationship who I am trying to offer advice to. Will try to keep it as simple as possible. He ended it a month ago. They have one DC together. Everything was apparently great until literally 6 weeks before he ended it he became very distant with her. When she finally had it out with him he said his feelings had changed and he didn't want to be together anymore. She was devastated.
I did wonder if anyone else was involved and she said she had asked him that and he swore there was not. She seemed to believe him.
Since there split he has become very nasty and is making it very difficult for my friend. In particular regarding access to their child. I don't want to put on here too much as its potential outing. But I feel he is trying to ensure he doesn't have to pay maintenance. His actions and attitude seem really harsh it is like he hates her. I don't get it he ended it. Why does he feel the need to be so nasty when surely now the best thing is to get on for the sake of their child. I could understand if she ended it and he was being bitter.
I am now beginning to wonder if there is somebody else and she will suddenly pop up in a couple months time as if they have just met.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Did you suss out the reason?
