Q: Not a question but an upsetting vent (for me)

So today is my second daughter's first birthday. I wrote a status on facebook about when we found out we were pregnant, complications, that sort of thing. THen said happy birthday to my daughter. I tagged my ex husband because hes her father but i tagged both of our families in it also. He flipped out thougt that his gf and i were going to kill each other. In the end i deleted it in tears. Well his gf messaged me on facebook and asked what it was about so i told her. She thinks hes blowing the whole thing way off the map. She said it was about his daughter and she had no issue with it. Now he's even more pissed off at me that her and i are even talking about it. So ive been on off crying for the past hour. SOrry I just needed to get that off my chest.

i agree with Bakerbabe, this whole thing could have been avoided if you didn't tag him which this early after splitting you probably shouldn't have. Eventually, once he has his relationship established and time has settled the dust I'm sure you will both be in a different place and probably get along for the kids. Perhaps he felt like you were trying to stir up drama with him and his GF or attempting to make him look bad or something, who knows. I think before any of us form a concrete opinion we have to acknowledge that there are two sides to every story. I am watching my brother and his ex go through something similar and from what I gather, the two of them have very different takes on the situation and I often have to step back and realize that I'm not going to get the whole story from him and I'm sure her friends will be left out certain details as well. So I think before we assume this guy is an arsehole we should also assume we don't know the whole story. Just sayin

I wouldn't have my ex on facebook in the first place, anything important to do with your daughter can just be communicated in person/phone - less stress, your lifes are separate now so don't let him see all of your business :)

In my experience, men who flip out about the ex and the current woman communicating, do so because they have something to hide. It sounds like he's afraid you may tell her something he doesn't want getting out or vise versa. Don't let him make you upset. It's your daughter too and you have every right to post something about her birthday! If his gf is telling you she's not upset then don't worry about it. Even is she was, it's none of her business what you do with you child. I would repost it, DON'T tag him, and enjoy her birthday. Don't let that asshole walk all over you and make you feel bad. Screw him!

Defo not he sounds like a bloody bully, don't let anyone treat you like that especially the father of your children he should have more respect! His partner should be telling him to get a grip, hope your girl has a fab bday x

He pushed me to the edge today. I may not get my girls until late tonight, which means being unable to celebrate my youngests birthday. Right now I have pushed house works and baking to the back burner for a couple hours and am filling out my dissolution papers, working on the separation agreement, and talking to legal aid. Im not letting him step on me anymore.
