My weird ex and bizarre Christmas present

My 4 year old daughter's dad bought me a pair of bright pink Pro-Nike shorts for Christmas. What the fuck? These are mainly worn by 15 year old girls. Obviously they'll go straight on Vinted.

He's so weird and inappropriate about everything and I feel stuck and like he does stuff to make sure I can never move on with my life.

Yup - weird!

My ex husband bought me one of those fake tins of baked beans that’s actually a place to hide cash.

I mean, he doesn’t give me enough maintenance to have cash to hide, but…

Give them back and say that they don't fit and also say no need to buy present for each other ever again!

What else does he do ? 😐😐

That's just really really weird in it's own.

What doesn't he do?? He turned up once when I was on holiday.

Females of all ages wear these things. Maybe he enlisted the help of someone to assist him in picking out a gift..maybe he thought you would genuinely like them.

Just thank him, tell him not to gift you anymore, and donate them.

Was it just a coincidence that he was in the same place as you were in holidays, or do you feel like he stalked you?

Anyways it seems like maybe you two need to have conversations about boundaries and set some in place.

If you two are communicating often about general things, cut it out. Make the communication and dynamics strictly about the child, nothing else.

No visiting each other houses, no hanging out (if that happens)

Public places only to drop off child. If there is shared visitation.

Stop being physical together (if that is happening)

If he was always like this, you've tied yourself to him for possibly the remainder of your life by having a child by him.

Hopefully things will get better..if not, document and gather evidence and report him to the law if it's serious.
