Someone Give me Strength!!!!!!ARGGHHH
Honestly my ex is a Frickin loser.... he makes me soooooooooooo MAD!
He comes tonight, lets himself in with his key ....., announces he's arrived with a big cheery
"Hello Everybody." sits down eats the dinner that I've cooked him (I know I'm obviously an idiot or a sucker or something). Then plays with the kids for 40 mins, while I do the dishes..  Then we put them to bed, then announces he's going to leave.

As we near the front door he turns to me and asks, whether I was serious that I wouldn't go to his Mums (2nd) Wedding if his girlfriend was there.

Is he STUPID or just an insensitive arse-hole?? I've been part of his Mum's life for 20 years, this woman who he now admits to dating/having sex with/seeing  has only been part of their lives since November last year. Not to mention her Grand-children who he's also abandoned to be with this woman!

I calmly tell him that YES!! I am serious, and my reason is that it would make me feel totally uncomfortable, and our daughter (Miss 8) has also mentioned it a few times .... and she seems anxious about it.

I suggest that our previous conversation about this should have given him the answer he needed. 
He goes on to ask WHY I would be uncomfortable, to which I ask

Why would I be happy to be in the same venue as my ex husband with his MISTRESS who actively pursued him while he was still married to me!?  And now they are all lovey dovey in public - no more sneaking around hiding their fucking activities!!!

Of course this gets him angry - you see he likes to deny there was anything between them (him & JS) until after he'd moved out  - even though he admitted they got drunk and had a one night stand in the last 6 months of our marriage. Just for the record he even denies admitting that now.

So he tells me then maybe she won't be there, but he'd let me know......... I ask him doesn't it matter that it will make me uncomfortable?  He's pauses and says 'oh yer, I guess it matters.'
"So she's not going to be there then??" I ask.
"Probably not, but I'll let you know." He answers.

The conversation goes around for a few minutes, as I explain the effect this all has on his daughter - he plays dumb says he didn't realise, and why won't she talk to him about it - DAHH he's never around, and plus he treats her like a 4 year old, not the mature 8 year old she is.

Then I ask him why he doesn't let me know anything concerning visiting the kids - like when he went to Queensland with JS - and he tells me the day before that he's going the next day for 2 weeks or so.
Doesn't tell me when he's getting back - just calls Miss 8 to say hi and he'd see her on the Saturday.
He apologises.  I ask him if he has any other "SURPRISES" for me - to which he answers - No of course not, like what.

So I go on to how in the past year, he's pulled the rug from under me - by walking out.  And how he says him & JS are JUST FRIENDS, and now they are BOYFRIEND and GIRLFRIEND.... and the "surprises" that his solicitor has pulled. 

He tells me there is nothing that he's not telling me and he's sorry again for not being upfront about the holiday.

Anyway Miss 8 & Master 4 have been getting up during our conversation - which made it quite a broken argument - not as much impact on the punches thrown really.

As he's leaving I say " You really don't give a Shit about what you've done to me do you.?"
to which he answers very smarty - "Actually, you know I do!".

I say "whatever, BYE, " and walk inside.

So I go down to check on the children, cause his visits always leave them longing for him to move back in etc etc.  Sure enough they are upset, so I console them and tell them it's alright, yada yada yada all the things that make them feel secure etc. etc.  Miss 8 says why can't he move back in. . . I suggest she have that conversation with him SATURDAY when he comes to pick them up ..... then she could've blown me over with a feather.
Apparently he'd told her he wasn't coming on Saturday, because he's going on a GOLF week-end away with work!!!!!!!

My Blood boiled - he didn't mention it to me - after I berated him about not giving me details about his Holiday, and saying how I know I don't have a right to know what's going on in his life - but where it concerned the kids - he needed to tell me..... as I said HE apologised and said I was RIGHT that he should tell me..... and here it is not even 5 minutes later - I find out he's done it again!

So I call him up - and of course he ignores my call - knows my number - so I leave him a message saying I need to clarify something with him.

He calls me back, I ask him if he was going away for the Week-end, he answers YES, and I blast him ... well I didn't but I should have - I had just got through telling him he needed to tell me when he wouldn't be seeing the kids, and it wasn't good enough for him to tell them at the last minute.....

and I'm sorry for my language here - but he FUCKING didn't tell me - did he think I'd guess when he didn't arrive on Saturday?  After I'd made plans for the day.

He apologises - I don't know why he bothers - I say yer right whatever and hang up.

THIS GUY IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER PIG! 

I don't get how he can be like this - so stubborn and treat us like Crap.  I think I've under estimated him - he's not FATHER of the YEAR.... He's FATHER of the CENTURY! (FOTC). 


All he cares about is JS - and I'll bet he's even taking her on his Annual golf week-end away - strangely enough - I was never allowed to go!

What a jerk, what a lousy ex-, what a REAL FOTY  ... FOTC!

Ok. as the a man that is living a version of the other side...different in that:no young kids and still in the same house and married, and wife has no idea about KP...anyway as a man...here is what you do: HE IS A JERK, treat him like one, do not let your emotions ride on a roller coaster w/ his actions. He is a dope, he is an ass, so simply do this...
1)he needs to tell the kids when he is and is not coming on his scheduled days and they will tell you,
2)The wedding is simple, or maybe it is, I get a sense the Mom in law likes you...get her involved. Let her set him straight. You do not need to be a mommy's boy to snap to when mom says something, trust me.
3)You have plans, he pulls the disappearing act, get a sitter and bill him
4)Tape your calls and your talks, sounds severe but he is going to lie, catch him
And be strong, you desreve better than this jerk

I agree with WhiteKnight. He's got some good points. Be stronger and treat him like he should be treated. First, I wouldn't make that piece of crap dinner. Unless he's suppose to eat dinner with the kids. Otherwise, he can just come over to visit. Secondly, take the frickin key away from him. Change your locks or something!! Its not his home anymore, he has no right to do that. And stand up and tell him to knock, like an adult should when they go over to a house for a visit. Thirdly, stop ending the conversations with "whatever". Its not whatever. Its important to you and that should make it important to him. YOU need to be strong and up front with this man on a consistent basis. He will feel like he ran into a brick wall and won't know what to do but change his ways.

And last of all, go on that date!!

I agree because I am living in somewhat the same situation. I agree,get your mother-in-law involved because it sounds like you 2 have a good relationship. Hang on you will get through this. My soon to be ex wanted to separate. He didn't want to be with me because his life was miserable.But about 2 months later he had a checking account with his girlfriends name on it. He only gets the boys when he wants to. Hang in there it will get easier.

Unfortunately His MOTHER is part of this current problem - she's just as selfish as him - even though her ex-husband (his Father) did exactly the same thing to her. Her husband-to-be said he wouldn't invite the girlfriend if it was up to him. But she is loyal to her family to a FAULT in this situation. Even though I thought prior to this that I was still family!

In summary She told me she could accept me not being there if the girlfriend was but she'd be VERY disappointed if her Grandchildren weren't. She has talked it up to my daughter thinking this would making it harder for me & kids not to go. She is no ally - and is willing to risk me not being there if the kids were still there....

It's almost like she has forgotten what its like being in my situation - which she suffered through.

I've done the right thing by her for the past year, for the sake of the kids - sometimes at my discomfort. But after this wedding if she wants to see the kids it will have to be on her Sons' time ... which will be hardly ever since he's such a FOTY!

Thanks everyone for you're comments .... I really really appreciate them.

Good points ... WhiteKnight and AndrewJames.
Several of your ideas I found helpful for myself.
I forget sometimes that I'm not a victim of my circumstances.
I forget that I can stand up for
myself.
I forget that I have the ability to set up boundaries with people ... and those boundaries can change as the circumstances change.
After all I teach people how to treat me.
Thanks for the great discussion, insights and tips. Peace
