Hi All!!

I've been curious to know whether or not anyone else in here has "issues" with the "other parent?" MY issue is not only with her, but with my husband (her ex and father of their kids).

In short, they behave differently when I'm around verses when I'm not. For example, When I don't ride with him to pick up/ drop off his kids, he takes FOREVER to get back home. It's because he's there chatting it up with her about nothing important. She will try to make the conversation about the kids just to keep him engaged in conversation. When I do go with him, we're in and out! Drop em off and split! Tonight, he "went to the store" to buy a bottle of wine and so far he's been gone an hour. The store is ACROSS THE STREET...LITERALLY! I've known him long enough to know that he's on the phone with her and that's what's taking so long.

If he claims to be unable to "Stand her", then why does he do things like this? I've told him how much it bothers me, especially since she still has something for him. He makes me feel like Im imagining it. She cant get over the fact that she had 3 kids by him (in hopes he was going to the NFL), but when he got injured, that plan went in the toilet. He never married her but married me. She's INFURIATED, so she does this small talk BS, and he allows it. I guess it makes me feel like I cant compare to what they once had whatever qualities he did like about her. I feel "not good enough"
