Divorced dad dealing with ex wife's boyfriend fatherof3: Hi everyone,
I have a real problem and I hope someone can help me with it. I have been divorced fmxw for about a year now. We have 3 young children together and she and our kids live less than a mile away from my home. She has a boyfriend living with her now. We have joint custody of our children as I spend a great deal of time with them. My problem is this...everytime I go to her house to pick up my kids, whenever I see this guy, I want to break his face into pieces. He always gives me a smug little look whenever I go over there, and I'm afraid that I'm going to snap one day. How do I cope with these feelings? Any suggestions on how to deal with this?
PLEASE RESPOND and thank you! ???
Re:Divorced dad dealing with ex wife's boyfriend Shanna: Hmmmm...does he come outside or open the door or whatever If he doesn't then maybe you could stay outside and wait for the children. Rather than go in if that is what you do.
Maybe you could ask her to drop them off????
Heck I dunno....
Re:Divorced dad dealing with ex wife's boyfriend craez: i say you punch his stupid head a thousand times to wipe that smug look of his stupid, ugly @ss face! who does he think he is?!?!? what an idiot! >:(
anyway, all joking aside, i say you do whatever you've gotta do to not see that jack@ss. it sucks that those are YOUR kids, and YOU'VE got to be the one to be inconvenienced (since he doesn't have the common sense to "disappear" when you come for the kids), but that's just the way it is apparently. i agree with sully. have them dropped off or wait outside.
or... if you can say something to your ex about it without it coming off badly, then maybe she could help. if her bf is bothering you, then can't they respect that and not have him around? i mean, come on! you'd do that for her, wouldn't you? you wouldn't have YOUR gf hanging around when she comes to pick up the kids if it bothered her, right? how hard is it to go into another room for 15 minutes????
good luck!
Re:Divorced dad dealing with ex wife's boyfriend fatherof3: Thanks Sully and Craez. This is very good advice and I'm going to try it. I appreciate your input and gain, my sincere thanks. :
Re:Divorced dad dealing with ex wife's boyfriend Dino: did she cheat on you and thats why you broke up, or was it a mutual thing. just wondering if he is the cause of your divorce or something else. if he was the cause then i would have trouble not smashing his face in too.
maybe you could tell him politely that he really gives you the shits and you would prefer it if he makes himself scarce when you pick up the kids. i dunno... probably not very helpful
