Crazy ex even in lockdown

So gutted BM has stopped contact. We never ever change contact ever. He stops one during the virus and she goes crazy. She’s blocked him so no contact till she decides. So sick of her games. All she wants is us arguing in lockdown over her actions.

He stopped contact which you consider isn’t a problem (obviously you’ve given no back story) but she refuses contact and that is a problem? Am I reading that right?

Why did he block contact?

timetest · 02/04/2020 12:52

Sorry, stop not block.

Probably safer for the child not to be going between houses.

Why do people seem to be forgetting this?

He stopped contact which you consider isn’t a problem

It isn’t a problem though, because we’re going through a huge pandemic and it’s safer for the everyone if the child stays in one household.

What does BM mean?

NailsNeedDoing · 02/05/2020 12:08

By BM do you mean the child’s actual mother?

My partners ex has done something similar. When we asked to put a hold on a week ends contact as he has been in and out of London she flipped out and has blocked him so he can’t make any form of contact

You posted this on a different thread! You put a hold on contact and now are pissed off that you aren't having contact?

Yes but there is a difference between a short term stop for valid reasons and a long term stop out of spite

You need more explanation.

Physical contact can be stopped if anyone in either household is in a vulnerable group. Either parent can decide this

However the parent with the child should be ensuring that preferably regular video calls and at least telephone calls go on. Regular is more than once every two weeks.

We still have my fiancé’s son twice a week during this. You can do that! he needs to see his dad and him and my little boy love it as it’s the only interaction with someone there own age.

If that’s her decision fair enough.... she’ll soon revise that when she’s climbing the walls 😂
