RE: Partner staying with X wife

I am now thinking i should not have mentioned the ring before.. if possible can you tell me what you think  (just)  about him (or any man for that matter) staying there with her. If it's ok i might show him the responses i get as he seems to think that no other woman would have a problem with it and that i just over react... Any guys input would be fantastic also...

Thanks Guys..

Skylee

RE: Partner staying with X wife
Hiya Skylee...I know I'm pretty late in putting my input in but I Talked to my hubby about this and this is what we came up with...This is what he said...If I was okay with him staying there then he would BUT if I had a problem with it regardless of what anyone else thinks then it is a problem...In my relationships before this marriage I had never had a faitful man this has left me with scars that are to deep to ever be OKAY with him staying with an ex....The problem for us would be if we could afford a hotel or something else...Is there friends or relatives he can stay with instead...If you have had someone cheat on you before then this is an insecurity that you will have regardless...In a relationship regardless of any opinion any of us have on here if it is wrong or right your partner has to realize that if it upsets you no matter how trivial or how much he thinks you are over reacting then it is a problem...Hope that makes sense...Ken says he would not even suggest it to me because he knows my feelings on this sort of thing...So Kens advice to him would be if you partner has a problem with it do not stay there...Find an alternative...Just our thoughts matey good luck
Cheers
Angie

RE: Partner staying with X wife

hi Skylee, i am Ian, and a 38 y/o male,  with ex's (i even have one in NZ  that my daughter Maddison lives with) and for what its worth, i would not want to stay at my ex's especially if i knew it was going to make my present partner feel as you have described you feel, in fact i would not under any circumstances even consider staying there any way, i think it would be wrong  for every one concerned including the child, i believe that out of respect for your feelings even if he has nothing to hide, he should not consider it either. as for the wedding ring, it is the past and should remain there, his 9 y/o child is the only person that should want the ring . I have always believed that trust is love. without trust there can be no love.  from Ian

I think he should be taking  you and  the little one with him.i just don't think its right to stay with the ex  wife,i be feeling like  you  worry .

I was talking to a male friend of mine and thinks its just toatoly wrong , here thinks theres more to it  and he wouldn't  be staying at exs   he be taking  his child to send time with him  somewhere else .

Take a chill pill, dont stress, if he comes home and has cheated on you, ditch him. Simple.

RE: Partner staying with X wife
ohhh very poor. someone out there needs a good ....... well go see hubby he  might help. i was only helping. this girl needs to let her BF See his child, and if he has to stay with his ex, not too much you can do. if anything happened he would not be worth keeping.

RE: Partner staying with X wife
he doesn't need to stay with ex! There are things available called motels! Also it does seem sus that skylee's partner of 9 yrs would suddenly return with his wedding ring on his finger using excuses of not wanting to lose the ring!
also, he could at least invite her and her daughter to make her feel a little more comfortable! And i am sorry, but i think that was a poor comment...but was not me who rated it as poor!

RE: Partner staying with X wife
yes, i see your point and everyone elses too, this would not be easy. BUT if he where to cheat, he will do it somehow..., may as well let it happen and get on with life. Also nothing could happen, mabey ex wife is just a bit of a bitch. and is trying to put things in skylees head. after she is the EX wife for a reason!!   I hope all works out for the best

RE: Partner staying with X wife
I wouldn't let someone i love get away from me that easily...especially if other arrangements can be made.
I hope they can work it all out though... and i only hope that it doesnt end badly!

RE: Partner staying with X wife
Hey skylee,
I have been talking with my partner about this and he has said this:
He should be taking you with him as you are his girlfriend/fiance whatever and if he can afford to go over to NZ twice a year then he can afford to take you and your daughter aswell...this way you can have a holiday and visit at the same time.
My partner thinks it is sus that he would want the ring back after so many years and that he would be staying with the EX  wife....as that is what she is...an ex....you don't stay with an ex...you make other arrangements! He seems to think it may just be a little extra fluff on the side (if you know what i mean).
He also says that he never would do this if he were in this situation as he knows this would make me or the girlfriend he had at the time....insecure and feel bad.
I hope this helps.

Rings or not - I don't think it would suit me babes.  My husband just told me that he wouldn't have me stay with my ex husband (and everyone knows I have no interest in the bum).  It doesn't matter about cheating or whatever, you don't stay with your ex wife when you have a new partner, especially if that partner is not cool with it.

RE: Partner staying with X wife
My husband and I have just held a discussion on your problem........He feels that you do have a right to be anxious however your partner is being honest and open about where he is staying.He feels that if your partner is pressured into staying somewhere else it might start  causing your partner to lie or be evasive on where he is staying.He thinks that your partner just wants to experience the the feeling of a normal family life with his Son (not with the ex though)and this is why it is important for him to stay in the same house.He also said that it is hard to comment as he doesn't know your partner,but can only comment on how he would feel in this situation.He thinks that it is you your partner is with and you he comes home to so you should concentrate on that fact rather than what might occur.I think that Men just don't get our insecurities and your partner should be a bit more considerate of your feelings,I do think it depends also if the ex is single or in a relationship.I would say though once I thought about my Hubby's answer he did make sense (but don't tell him I said so LOL)good luck regards Merle

RE: Partner staying with X wife

She is single, and putting it nicley she was known for getting around... and what i hate the most is, when they were over hear in Dec, 06. we all had dinner together and i could really feel some vibes, ones i didnt like and a bit of whispering later in the evening. I feel threatened more so, because she left him, she cheated on him (he actually walked in on them) (her and his best friend)  and he still took her back a number of times... so he really had feelings for her... ...

I dont know maybe i am a bit off track... i think this would be easier if he was more conciderate of my feelings...

Thanks Merle... can always count on you for good honest advice..

Skylee

RE: Partner staying with X wife

Hi Skylee

Its clear that this matter concerns you deeply so I don’t think that its a good idea that he stays there! It is understandable the concerns you have and I think any girl or guy in your situation would feel the same! He needs to see his child, but he also needs to consider your feelings as well, and he should do whatever it takes to achieve both!!!

I think a good compromise would be for you all to go and make it a family holiday!

Matt.

I don't think you are over reacting hunny. I think that you need him to be more understanding of your feelings. I think that hubby needs to look at it from your point of veiw.
