What would you do about DP’s bitter ex?

[kikikaka]

DP’s ex has a long standing hatred towards me, sometimes everything’s fine and then she turns, she remains very jealous and bitter.

They have a DD together, me and DP also have a DD. The ex is currently keeping their DD away from me, which in turn causes her to walk straight past me and my DD with their DD (sisters) completely ignoring and not allowing their DD to come over. I spoke to DP and he says to not rise to it as that’s what she wants, a reaction. I personally think he should tell her it’s not acceptable but I won’t push or force him. What would you do in this petty situation? It’s the girls I feel for, I think it’s important for them to have a relationship. I’ve always made a big effort with their DD and we get on well, she likes me and has always come over if we see them. I’ve never once said or done anything to hurt their DD, I may have snapped back at the ex a few times in retaliation but never in front of the children.

Nothing like letting everyone know you are an idiot, your daughter in particular

Just ignore it. The daughters will end up making their own minds up about their own relationship and their parents.

So... your DP has a DD with another woman that he's making zero effort to see? Does he pay towards her either?

Vecuase I can pretty easily yimagine why his ex doesn't want to see or speak to you or have anything to do with your DD - she's probably a bit cheesed off that your DD gets time and money and love and hers is just left by the wayside.

I've met plenty of bitter women in real life. usually because their ex has fucked off, doesn't see the children, doesn' tpay for the children and when he DOES see the children, he parents them badly so that when she gets them back they're exhausted, hungry and dirty.

These women absolutely loathe their ex's new partners, mostly because they can't understand how these women would want to be with a man who is such a dick to their children and/or because quite often these new relationships signal the man's involvement with his children getting even worse. Whether or not that is directly the new woman's fault is irrelevant.
