Dealing with the ex wife is so frustrating

I have been Divorced for a couple of years now after my ex wife decided she wanted to be alone, start a new life and be totally independent.... which in actual fact was a lie because she now lives with a man who was previously a very, very good friend of mine.  How blind and stupid was I?  You see it's not just men that cheat - women are totally capable of adultery as well.  After a few miscellaneous girlfriends I have finally found a decent, honest girl (yes there are actually some out there!) with whom I am happy. Good for me!  My children who are aged 16 and 10 both get on with her very well, particularly my youngest daughter.

My ex wife has always been tricky to deal with.  After the break up she basically took me for everything more or less, and this was due to me trying to do the best thing for my kids.  She has lied her rear end off at every opportunity and as you'd expect, the lies has come out into the open now through natural events.

She is awkward and difficult at every turn...

My major gripe now is the spiteful games she is playing. She treats me like I was the one who ran off with HER friend.  She is awkward and difficult at every turn when dealing with arrangements for our kids.  Our communication is now so low that it is now only by text message or a message from one of the kids.  It feels like she controls my life and I'm paying her for the privilege!  The frustration I feel is massive!

Wedding rings, broken marriage

The law in this country is so one sided when it comes to parents and kids.  My ex wife has not worked for years spends money like water on a shallow life style which she is trying to impart onto the kids (this difference in parenting styles adds to my frustration). Perhaps I may sound a little bitter and twisted?  Yes I most certainly am!  But I need to get out of this downward spiral as it is consuming me.  Does anyone else out there have an ex wife like this?

Anon, why not try and get your MP to get this word "whore" eradicated from the English language if you think they don't exist.

Ah, Gainsborough Lad you managed to get "whore" in even when not talking about your ex - bless, you cannot help your self can you?

Chris, I have read all your post and it is just a typical example of how everything is geared up to give the women everything she want's in a divorce, this country will do its best to carry this out, the government, CSA, courts, and even the police

But be prepared for a backlash for using the word "whore" because there are some people on here who are adamant that they don't exist.

My uncle has just finished going through a divorce instigated by my aunt after she had an affair for 6 months.

He bought the 400k house, their cars and she had his 3 daughters. All was brilliant for them. After this she had this affair for 6 months.

She refused to move out and he also refused to move too. She spent the next few weeks verbally abusing him until the 2nd week when she drank 2 bottles of wine, walked into their bedroom and attacked him. When he restrained her, she grabbed the kids, drove 40 miles really drunk and rang the police turning the story around.

Now after my uncle has played everything fairly by the books and not lied, she has made allegations that he attacked the kids and her.

He can no longer have acess to his children because of her.

1) She has sole custody.
2) She has his car.
3) She has the house...being payed for by my uncle and her new fella has moved in.
4) She has £1300 a month.

1) After all her stuff he has £560
2) He rents a room for £200
3) Only afford to run a push bike to work.
4) The CSA are now asking for another £100.
5) He doesn't get to see his children because of a whore and this country has let her walk all over him because he has a penis.

I completely understand where you're coming from orangepeel. I'm woman but have seen friends go through what you are. It makes you understand why some men find it hard to see their children when every situation is so manipulated. I've heard of 'I did not have an affair', 'daddy is lying to you', 'I have you and daddy has a girlfriend so he doesn't need you'. Then there are demands...then there are restrictions and dictations to where you can take your children, what you can talk about...and then the dreaded mobile phones going off constantly until the child feel the need to text their mum to see if they can go to the toilet because mummys messages all say, 'I need you', 'i miss you', 'are you going to come home early?', 'i cant stop crying because you aren't here at home with me where you should be'. What sort of person manipulates children that way to get at the person who didn't have the affair?!

Your stuck with ituntil your children are grown up

Coming from a womans prospective I would say the police should of investigated a we bit more. Whats funny to me is that social services hasn't taken these kids away. Whats it gonna take?? I really feel for you and hope things get better.

My ex-girlfriend of 7 years whom which we have 3 children together, will not let me around my children. I'm 34 years old. Have always been there for my children and love them with every fiber of my being. I was laid off work as a carpenter, and she had a relationship behind my back. Come to find out that it had been going on for a quite some time too. She married this young man two months after our break-up. Nice. And this new very yound man mind you, hurts my children physically. I took a photo of my sons foot which beared a silver-dollar shaped bruise, then went to the police who were no help at all. She and her new husband have since had Social Services called on them a number of times by tennents of their apartment complex. My sons cry uncontolably when I used to see them and had to let them go back to their mother and step-father. They never wanted to go back home after spending time with me. I never spoiled them, just hugged and kissed them and made them laugh alot. My ex, and her new husband wont return my calls, and know i'm stuggling with unemployment, which she gets 1/2 of for child-support. I'm upset everyday, and cant be myself with/out my kids.
