i havent been with my sons father for years many years four years ago we were going to give it another shot and he blew it by getting another woman pregnant that was the last time i heard from him and was ok with it but then i heard from him and i told him off and told his wife he contacted me and hoped it had gotten rid of him for good. i havent had him around and dont need him he only brings pain everytime he comes around i get hurt. anyway after all of this stuff with him and his wife he blames me for his current situation and said that things with us could been nice but had to get ugly over something petty. i dont think my feelings are petty and thats how i took it i dont know how else he would mean by petty unless its that i told his wife but she should know he was trying to get back together while still being married. i dont even know what kind of person would even try something like that and why try to bother with me after all these years and junk hes done. urgh i just want him to go away and not contact me when he does its never ever about our son if he had been consistant with him before but he's never been there its just ugh. just shouldnot be happening

I am so sorry he is putting you through this. I know you know this bs. As I read your post I kept hearing that song in my head...that Patty Labelle song. Anyone got a link to it for our strong woman friend here? "so go, walk out the door, just turn around now cause your not welcome anymore. I should have changed that stupid lock, should have made you leave your key if I would have known that you'd be back to bother me...!" Come on, join everybody!

Kind of a similar situation. I moved 3,000 miles away from my hometown to start a new life. Not long afterward, my pregnant daughter followed me out here. After the baby was born--so did her father. She's now expecting her second. I guess he has as much right to be near his grandchildren as I do, but I hate the fact that he and I are living in the same city again. He'd come running back to me in a hot minute if I'd allow it, but I won't. We tried reconciliation a few times, and it never worked. Well, recently he tried to connect with me on Facebook. Not only did I reject him and block him, but this repulsed me so much that my hubby messaged him, "Do not try to contact my wife again. Thank you." You know what? Ex answered him back, "Do not threaten me or I'll call the police, and I'll contact (where you work) and get you in trouble." Well, we knew the police would just laugh, so we weren't worried about that. But hubby is a bus driver for the city. It would be easy for ex to pose as a disgruntled passenger, and make up stories claiming hubby did something. So we alerted management that my ex had made this threat, and told them his name. Now they know, if they get a passenger complaint and it has my ex's name on it, it's bogus.

You aren't being petty. What your ex is doing, is called gaslighting. He's trying to make you think that what went wrong between you was your fault, that you are the one who is defective.

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome any more
weren't you the one who tried to hurt with good-bye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive

yea i couldnt think of what i did as being petty. i even thought i was doing the right thing for everyone. i really beleive he has a warped perception of everything in his life. i hope your ex doesnt cause you anymore problems either its not fun. here's to freedom and peace of mind!
