He feels she disrespects him consistently and favors her own 2 children over him. I somewhat agree, she is not very pleasant with him. I thought maybe it was a reflection of how I am with her kids because I am quite strict with them. They are much younger than my own and behave quite differently than mine. That being said I have tried very hard to not sweat the small stuff and I have put in a concerted effort to get along better with them. My fiancee still treats my son like he needs prison-like discipline and he’s very frustrated.
And that brings us to today. I was in the process of trying to come to a friendly agreement with my ex-wife, to arrange times for pickup of my son after we returned from dropping off my fiancee’s kids with her ex. Both are a couple hours of driving in opposite directions from the city. My fiancee told me I need to tell my ex that she can wait until much later in the day to meet us. I responded by saying it would be easier for me to do all the driving at once and get it over with. She insisted I tell my ex we wait until the evening to drop my son off.
I responded by saying she sounded spiteful, and regardless of my reasons for wanting to go immediately, I needed to tell my ex that later is what she’ll have to accept.
Well…BAM POW “you can do whatever you want, I don’t want anything to do with this anymore”.
Now how I read that is “I’ve had enough of you… goodbye I’m leaving”.
I went through a similar situation with my ex when she would constantly threaten to leave whenever there was a disagreement. This happened once before already when my fiancee drove herself 8 hours to her home town without me and came back a couple days later. Now I don’t care how much I love someone. I’m not going through that stress again. I will not walk on eggshells my entire life.
I guess more to follow, but for now I guess I just try to deal with the situation with patience and composure.
