What do you all feel about your significant other hang out and spending alot of her free time with her ex boyfriend ?

I have been married for 7 years and my wife is hanging out with her exboyfriend alot. Now my kids are going to his house and he takes my family to the park on every noce day without me. Should I be upset or let it go. It is really hurting and i have told my wife that several times. She must not care.

dude, do you even have to ask? you are married, right? not dating, not just a couple, but married..you have a reality to face up to, and i am not going to point it out for you, because that would just inspire hostility towards me from you. (been there, done that) good luck, hope you find your answer.

Happened to a friend of mine. His wife went out to dinner with an ex a few times, and my friend said, “If you want a divorce, go out with him one more time.” In my friend’s wife’s case, she had some regrets about that past relationship. I assume the ex did, too. I should say my friend was ready to back the threat up.

Simply put, her actions are destroying trust in your relationship.

Sounds scary, but potentially harmless.

I’m all for staying friends, but she’s married now. It’s time that they each go their own way now.

Good luck with that :)

I suggest winning her back! Remind her of why she chose you, not him to marry. You also have children to think about…

Hi man,

Your wife should not be doing this, but there must be a reason behind it - ask her why? are you not spending enough time together with her and your kids? when he takes your kids out, are you around at the time or at work? do you take your kids and your wife out?

In my opinion she should not be spending time with another man, this is completely wrong - for whatever reason she has, my wife doesnt do this and if she does I would be very upset, make it clear that you dont like it, explain to her that it hurts you and it matters to you - ask her if you are not doing something you should be doing - you sound like a reasonable guy. If she doesnt cooperate/listen then try talking to someone that she respects to mediate between you.

I hope it works out man, under any circumstance, remember God and thank him for everything, you do the right thing, take care of your wife and kids.

Peace

Hi,

I would make yourself absolutely clear. You already told her it bothered you, now is a good time to make suggestions to resolve this. Would it be OK if they still see each other, but only when you are here too? Or that your kids never hang out with him, but she can see him? Maybe for you the limit is that they don’t see each other at all. And that’s OK. You have to see with yourself what you can tolerate. And it seems that the present situation is not OK for you. Trust yourself, it means it’s not!
And I wouldn’t talk about divorce before having talked through all possible options with your wife. If none is OK for both of you, then yes mention a possible separation, which would then match to be your intention. Therefore it is not a threat.
I doubt things would go that far. Just make yourself clear, and see what happens.

Good luck!

Angelica
