That man still frustrates me.....

How after all this time does he still manage to irk me?
When his new fiancee is around he treats me like poo and when it's just him he is so sweet and once tried to stick his tongue down my throat! If it weren't for my two amazing kids I'd have nothing to do with him.
How do you deal with them when there like this?

This is probably NOT a good idea, but the next time she is with him, maybe you should poutingly say "What, no kiss for me today?"
Other than that..... I'd keep him at a distance when she's NOT with him.
You're right though.... it's amazing what we're willing to put up with for our kids.

Shoot, at least you have opportunities for him to get under your skin. I don't have kids, and he still finds his way under mine. And there is no excuse for it! For me, anyway.
Hi there,
Wow.. I know where you are coming from.
When my X's girlfriend is around I am nothing when she isn't he is so sweet and nice and funny.... it's 2 different people.
How do you deal with it? Well... firstly you have to STOP letting him do that. Be a total nasty woman to him or stick right to business regardless of what he is saying to you. I admit I don't do this ALL the time, but most of the time.... It makes me feel good to ignore him when he tells me I look good ( recently lost a BUNCH of weight ) I ignore his jokes and smiles and when he hugged me on Xmas eve ( to say merry christmas ) I gave him the old BUDDY hug, pat on the back. He looked surprised that I didn't fall to his feet.. but I got personal satisfaction.... it was sweet! It's a little ego booster everytime we don't take the "walking all over" from our X's. I now feel better about me regardless of what he says or does to me while his girlfriend is around. See, everytime he used to insult me while she was around it would HURT bigtime because he was SO different when she wasn't around.. now it doesn't matter. I just laugh. I don't even get mad anymore.
I hope I helped a little.... the key to this is we HAVE to separate ourselves from them. If we allow them beyond the divorced boundaries they will think they can get whatever they want from us. It is up to us to tell them NO WAY!
Hugs and good luck!
