I need your opinions. My boyfriends ex wife is always calling him trying to sweet talk him into stuff. How would you deal with this? We fight and almost break up. I hate to lose him over crap but I WILL not tolerate cheating. You think he would be bitter to her for the things she did. (Cheat on him etc)He did divorce her. She does nothing for his son who lives with us and she uses drugs. If not for the son he would have to cut all ties but obviously he cant because of the son. What are the boundaries for an ex? This women is very manipulative and probably thought she was gonna walk all over him till I came in the picture 2 yrs ago. He came home from work and told me she called him this morning. It infuriates me.

hmm.. now that is something i will also be really pissed off! i hate women who obviously can't get a life.. come on she's a junkie... and yes.. her ways are irritating but the best you can have is an assurance from your partner that he is not going to get back with her. its his word you have to trust. I believe no matter what a woman does, it will always be a decision from the man.

Talk to the ex-wife and tell her that if she keeps calling him, you are going to go to the police, and charge her with harassment. It's not right that she's doing what she's doing. They obviously broke up for a reason.

tell her that she should get a life and stop flirting with your boyfriend. better talk to her personally and ask her what was her problem and why is she doing that to your boyfriend. you have the right to ask her that. if she answers some stupid answer or something that you don't like, i suggest that you should punch her :D joke only

why not try and tell ur bf that he should talk to his ex wife and tell her that stop what she's doing or you could just do it yourself, i think that it would be much effective if you were the one who talks to your bf's ex wife... ^_^

I would not talk to the ex if she does'nt talk to me personally. Because like you say she's a manipulater and it may be her plans to start something with you. But i would most definitly talk about my concerns with my bf.Let him know exactly how you feel.But seeing that i dont know your bf i can only assume that he's finished with her. But you must understand that her advantage is that they have a child together,and she'll always have an excuse to contact him. Good luck dear.

You must accept that his ex wife will be a part of your life too. As you said their is a kid involve and even how evil the woman is, she is still the mother of your boyfriend's son. You accept her ex -husband together with the obligation on his son. Correct me if i misunderstand your sentence. You said that your boyfriend do the cheating on her ex - wife, are you the reason why this guy cheat his wife? Whatever it is, they are already committed to each other and bond by their son. If you really know your boyfriend and trust him, that he will going to choose you over his ex - wife, there's nothing to worry.But if your boyfriend is too weak over your relationship and her ex - wife insist to win back her family, sorry for you. It's all about you and your boyfriend because whatever this girl do if your boyfriend hold you tight, nothing to worry. You may just feel some insecurity or if not, it was just a jealous. Trust him and his love to you.If you can't, maybe it because your boyfriend has the history of cheating. By the way, everyone has the chance to change for good and give true love. Now where are you here?

Yes you can talk to the Ex about boudaries or going away but it still upto you and your husband. How you will show him that he really deserves you and How your husband can be loyal to you.Sometimes when men wants to play, they go back with their past but they won't do that if you've been so good to them that their conscience can't bare cheating on you.

It's hard to tell since I never have been in this kind of situation. But i know one thing. Your bf tells you all her actions so it means that he isn't hiding anything from you. She is just thick headed meaning she doesn't feel any shame in her actions. Before talking with her, ask your husband opinion's about all of this. We can't force someone's action so this could be hard to deal. If your bf, is just keeping the bond for his son and doesn't care much about his ex, you got nothing to worry. It would be better if he talks to her and make things clear like sweet talking is useless to him because he is in love with you. If she keeps up with her lil circus, let her be a clown on her own and don't give her much attention or you can talk to her to depending on how you feel. But it would be better if he can make the first talk.
