I can relate to that.
But worse is that my ex constantly uses the kids to hurt me, very often I get abusive texts, and unsolicited mail, even tho her own solicitor told her that communication has to be through them.
Last summer I spent over a grand in organizing the kids passports, 10 day holiday in Italy, flights, etc...
Only for her not letting them have the passports at the last minute.... So we ended up spending a week in Wales instead.
For some stroke of luck I did not book the hire car in advance, planning to get one there on spec.
I cannot get over the bitterness, She divorced me quoting irreconciliable differences....
After all the years I still cannot guess what those were.
Maybe too much time spent at work, trying to keep a roof over our heads.
What struck me as odd, was the fact that where ever we moved to, she soon fell out with the neighbours, and I mean real falling out...
At times I think that I was only a sperm donor and taxi driver.
It is starting to sound like a rant....... better leave it....
You will be happy with Mae, I know because I am extremely happy with my wife Jet.
Good luck in your quest.![]()
