Ex trying to control me

AngelEyes66 · 14/10/2021 08:07

so my partner left me and my daughter (3)at the start of the year, he left saying he will sign the house over to me due to me paying off his debts over the years etc.

since then I have got a new partner who I have known as a casual acquitanse for 8/9 years.
we have waited 4 months for us to introduce my partner and my daughter. my ex has met my partner and agreed on our daughter meeting at said time. as I curtesy I said I'd keep him informed on how the meeting went and any relativent info he may need.

now he is trying to say I have to ask permission on when/where/how long my daughter and partner are allowed to be around each other. if I don't tell him any of this info he will constantly text me or email me saying I've broken our agreement.

just to note myself and my partner are hardworking, loving, caring people. we don't drink or take drugs, we have both never done anything negative. there are no concerns for my daughters welfare, I fact my ex says I'm a very good mother.

it's at a point if I see his name on my phone I get anxiety. I have cut short time me,my partner and my daughter have has together due to the fear of an argument with my ex.

also to be clear my daughter sees my partner twice a week, once is only 30-45mins due to my partners work finish time and my daughters bed time. then we get one day a week together, they have spent between 4-7 hrs together on those days going out to parks etc. my daughter has receacted very positive to my partner asking him not to go (she actually gets a bit upset when he leaves) asks to see him on the days he doesn't see her. even my ex has stated that our daughters reaction is all positive.

yet says that for her wellbeing he needs to place restrictions on their time spent together. If I don't listen to his demands he then says he is going to try and take the house off me (we are in the process of getting his name off the mortgage and doesn't contribute to the mortgage payments)

I feel like this is getting to a controlling and harassment stage.

I'd tell him you can do what you like and so can he.

Get him off the mortgage and deeds first, then tell him to do one.
If he refuses to sign things and make you life more difficult you may end up in court.
