Going through a breakup is hard enough, but when you throw a cheating ex into the mix, welp, that becomes a whole other level of emotional turmoil. And if that wasn't enough, imagine adding kids into the equation. Because who doesn't love a little bit of chaos in an already messy situation? 

Welp, that's exactly what we have in store for y'all today: a messy divorce followed by an even messier… co-parenting situation, if you will. The highlight is on a recently divorced couple whose been together for 10 whole years before separating. She thought she was in love, she thought she found the one. Only for him to turn around and stab her in the back. 

Considering all things, this woman seems like a very gracious lady. She handled the conflict way better than we would have… that's all we're saying. Have a read for yourself and let us know what you think!

    Font - Alt account for obvious reasons. My (30F) ex-husband (32M) and I have 2 children (4M, 2F). We have been divorced just about 6 months and he is now expecting a baby with his new girlfriend. I'm admittedly not over him. We were together 10 years, my entire adulthood.

    Font - It was and is a messy split. I'm still bitter and hurt about it and he seems to have completely moved on somehow. When we had our oldest, neither of us wanted him in daycare (no judgement, we just didn't feel comfortable) so I stayed home and eventually started my own business that allows me to work 99% remotely. My parents are also local and retired and help me out as much as they can. This arrangement works for me and I get to spend time with both of my kids.

    Font - Now, ex's girlfriend is 5 months pregnant and they got in a huge fight because she asked him to tour daycares and he said absolutely not, he wants her to stay home with the baby, none of his kids are to go in daycare (admittedly the ones here do suck). He called me to vent and I listened then he dropped the bomb.

    Font - He asked if I would be willing to take care of their baby since I'm home with our two and get help from my parents and when I have to take the kids to the office I can because I own it. He mentioned that I know how he feels about his kids in one of these daycares and I sort of lost it on him. It was a year and a half of walled up anger and hurt and I said some nasty things that I've since apologized for.

    Font - Fast forward to 3 days later, new girlfriend pulled me to the side when I dropped off my kids to their house and asked why I was so ugly about it and why I thought my kids were better than hers and why her baby doesn't deserve the same things mine got. I never said that

    Font - but apologized if anything I said came off like that, told her I'm happy for them (I'm not but, pleasantries) but was certainly not going to babysit their kid. She's a nurse so I get she can't work from home and doesn't want to give up her career but they should've thought about that.

    Font - I left before it blew up again but ex called me about 2 hours later and asked me to come get the kids because he and new girlfriend were fighting and he didn't want them around for it. I picked them of course and ex texted me on the drive home and asked AGAIN if up

    Font - I would babysit for them for $200/week. I said no and he called me a bitter b .ch and said I'm being an a shole because I'm hurt. I don't see it this way at all, I reiterated that the request is absurd and I would not be talking about it anymore.

    Font - This was yesterday and all day today new girlfriend has been texting me and having her friends and family review bomb my business. I'm not worried about it, my clients know my work. Ex- husband hasn't said anything else but has been shorter with me in our conversations about our kids.

    Font - NobleCorgi 5 days ago ● Asshole Enthusiast [9] NTA. You are never obligated to take care of someone else's child. Also if you haven't actually provided services to her and her friends/family, send a cease & desist letter. It can be defamation. 10.0k Reply Share

    Font - ShneefQueen 5 days ago He's also completely belittling and minimizing how much work, time, and energy it takes her to care for her two children at home, the way he acts like OP can just throw another one into the mix without a problem. He makes it sound like he's asking her to plant-sit his ficus, not be the full-time daily caretaker for his needy newborn affair baby.

    Font - ftjlster 5 days ago Not to mention $200 a week doing daycare for a new born baby? That's ridiculously cheap and before this they expected OP to do it for free.
