I’ve been with my partner for 15
years and comfortable with the filet that he keeps in touch with his ex-wife.
Now his ex lives just a few
minutes’ walk from us and I’m not happy. He’s always dashing round to do jobs
for her and gives her lifts most of the time.
They have three children together and they
often come to their mother’s, making the whole atmosphere as cosy as if they’re
family again. But we have a daughter of our own who needs him. Why can’t he
spend more time with us Dear Slyvia, You didn’t say it but you seem to think
your partner is being unfaithful.
And if there’s a whiff of an
affair, you would be right to feel angry and betrayed.
But if he’s simply giving his ex
a helping hand and being a good father, then he needs your support. Talk to him
about it all – tell him you’re concerned for your own daughter but don’t turn
his love for his children into a contest.
They all need him. Discuss ways
of sharing his time, and let him know you’re hurting.
Be generous, and you could find
this problem melts away.
