Are you being forced to date your ex? I divorced my ex-husband yet I feel like I’m being forced to “date” him. We share one child, but is there any reason we need to be hanging out? My little girl is just a year old and we divorced when she was 2 months old so she has no recollection of us ever being together. He keeps telling me that she needs to see us together. Really?! Why? We didn’t have an amicable split. He was emotionally and verbally abusive to both me and my baby, he was manipulative, lazy, and entitled. There is not one redeeming quality about him so there is absolutely no way I’d ever give him a second glance. But it seems like he is romanticizing things in his head, believing that we are a family.
He invited himself over to my house on my daughter’s birthday. It was my day to have her but he asked if he could see her on her birthday so I said “sure, you can come get her for a few hours.” He instead just came over to hang out at my house. So somehow the 2 hours I had planned to do laundry and clean, I was babysitting my loser ex. And the thing is, I’m annoyed that I have to babysit him, but at the same time, I’m relieved to be there with my sweet little girl so I can protect her.
Then for Halloween, he was supposed to have her this year and instead of taking her to do his own thing, he invited himself to my house and asked if we could carve pumpkins together. Well, my baby is just one year old so I’m just guessing that knives and carving pumpkins in the freezing cold may not be at the top of her list of fun or safe activities.
Needless to say, these little powwows are absolute torture for me. I didn’t like him when we were married, I’m certainly not excited to deal with him now. I’m torn because while I don’t want to be around him, I do want to be there to make sure my baby is safe. Her safety and wellbeing are the only reasons that I brave the bizarre interactions when the weirdo comes over. ??♀️
