I have been with DP for two years and we have no children together but both have dc from previous marriages. My DP is the most amazing man and we have a really good relationship. We live together and getting married early next year. His children are adults and I have a 12 year old and two adult DC. His ex wife is really odd and they have been divorced for 6 years and I had no involvement whatsoever in their relationship breakdown. She has tried to interfere with DC and their relationship with DP since he got with me and has rang him calling me alsorts of unsavoury names which I overheard as we went out for the day and his DD was upset and said she should have been invited even though she was working. DP does spend time with his Dc on his own as do I with my Dc. One of his DC asked him to end it with me which he firmly told them no and was not going to let them rule his life. Fgs they have their own partners and expect DP to be on his own for the rest of his life. His exw tried to get him to go around to sort out odd jobs for her which he has told her it is not appropriate and tried to invite herself to a day our my DP was spending with his Dc and he told her again not appropriate. One of his dc told us that his ex wife and other Dc spends time bitching about me and said they can be really horrible. My exh has a girlfriend and I am pleased for him and just can't understand how someone can be like this.

The ex wife sounds toxic. It must be sad for you but keep your dignity and keep communicating with your partner. Don't give them the power.

Thankfully DP is very boundaried and cares about my feelings. I generally have a good relationship with his dc and treat them as I would with my own, without overstepping. My Dd loves her dad's girlfriend and I am glad that she feels included and doesn't feel pushed out. I would never bad mouth her. Deff9 toxic and I do try to maintain my dignity and let DP tell his dc that is bullying behaviour and not interfere.
