From my experience with his ex no. For some reason she always wants to be apart of his life. She doesn't get the fact that she is the ex and the only contact she should have with him is through their children. With this ex when she is having relationship problems she calls him and tells him about. Even her holier than thou mother calls him and keeps him informed about her. I can't stand it.

I understand some what of where you are coming from. My ex is still single and he drives me crazy from the phone calls (to the kids at anytime), and he shows up at every little thing during his time or mine it doesn't matter. Please tell me why he has to be at sports pictures (I even offered to take his order form with mine but no he thinks he has to be there) it drives me crazy he is everywhere. I mean come on it is great he wants to be involved with his kids but cut me a break I don't show up a baseball practice when he has them just to sit in the cold and "hang out" with the other parents. I very seldom even call when he has them so that he can have time with them.
I really wish he would find a girlfriend so maybe he will get a life!

I am BM and SM (as I'm sure a lot of you are), and I can really understand both sides of this issue in terms of wanting to be around the kids.... what I DO NOT understand some of these exs (like my DH's ex) whom want to be around MY HUSBAND and CANNOT seem to move on.... The woman does not attend the children's events unless we are going to be there (doesn't want to look like a bad mom in public!) She doesn't do homework with kids, doesn't pay any attention to them.... couldn't care less UNLESS she thinks she is getting DH's attention. Its sickening and pitiful and no, I don't think the insanity with these women does ever cease, nor do they ever move on or grow up.

Only dealing with the crazy we have to around town, whether or not she has a new person next to her or not, she is still crazy, and apparently she doesn't have a problem showing them just how MEAN, EVIL, and MALICIOUS she is because they never stay long. Hubby and I ran into one of her exes at one time, and he the ex boyfriend actually said to us " Man I am glad she is so consumed with hating you, because if she did me like she does you she would be in jail" This just goes to show you that even their MATES get tired of hearing about "all of the crap" they like to pretend that we send their way and it is almost always the exact opposite.

Nope. Slowed done for a bit, but the respite was quickly over. Planning the wedding diverted her attention for a bit, as did the first-job-in-10-years, but when the wedding was over and she quit the job after 8 months, ka-blooie! Communication explosion all over again. Boundaries shattered. I really miss the wedding-planning/job period Although, I have to say, if she ever divorces this man, I bet it gets kicked up yet another notch, perhaps back to the days before I entered the picture. God forbid. So it's all relative. And I am going to go be thankful for small favors.

Well in my case who would know!!? It has been 10 years since he left her and still she has no one, still she makes Dh's and SS's life a misery and now mine. She is slim, fairly pretty and nice when you first meet her, so god knows why she is still single!! She claims to hate Dh's guts but I wonder sometimes, would you go to all the trouble she does for someone you can't stand?? Hmmm, bit sus!! LOL But we can only hope she finds someone one day and leave us the hell alone!!
