Boundaries are essential to our everyday lives. Whether it's personal romantic relationships, work dynamics, roommates, or family, we all have a line that we don't want crossed. For obvious reasons, no one wants to feel like they're being spied on, or that their personal space is being watched, void of privacy, or infringed upon in any way. We all want our privacy, and we're all entitled to it. Ex-wives might say otherwise, but that's just what the story below is all about. 

In this story, the narrator is a woman who finds out that her husband's ex-wife is listening in on their conversations and home life all the time, through their child's Gizmo watch! In the era of AI, anything seems to be possible. She claims they had issues in the past, but this is just the cherry on top. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.

    So here I am in the kitchen hugging my fiancé yesterday. He had his new slippers from Christmas on and I said something like "oh "(just being playful). All of a sudden his ex wife's voice is loud as h | "hello? helloooo0?" He walks over to the child's Gizmo watch and after she asks for his son my fiancé asked her how the

    A little background this woman hates me and has no boundaries. She was mad when she came to pick up the kids a few months ago that I was drinking coffee on my porch and asked my fiancé why I was there on my porch like I needed to be inside when she gets the kids.

    Last Halloween she walked right past me and him and walked into our house without permission with one of the kids. The daughter says her mother doesn't like me and it's hard when we are all together bc she knows her mother doesn't like me.

    Back to now, he asked his daughter about the watch and daughter says sometimes it rings and sometimes it doesn't ring, and mom is just there so obviously she uses the feature often.

    I told her I don't appreciate her sending something to our house that allows her to listen in whenever she wants with no warning. She pretty much told me to mind my own business bc it's between her and "the father of her kids”. I told her the next time this happens we will have a problem and she accused me of "threatening" her.

    Fiancé says he understands my point of view, and says he will "ask her about it" and he doesn't think she uses it. She LITERALLY got caught using and daughter says she uses it. He agreed it needs to be off and put away now unless child is outside or at neighbors etc.

    I stay away from her, don't go near her, try to keep peace but she makes it impossible, plays victim. The issues are infrequent b/c I just avoid her and go on with my life but some things like this are just unavoidable.

    I am F50, he is M47. For those of you who are coming down hard on me for my age, there is no way of predicting the nonsense you will get from an ex until you enter the relationship and time passes. Her behavior is not related to my age, it's her immaturity and toxicity. With that said, I'm open

    clownwhole • 3d ago • If you live there, then your privacy MUST be a part of the convo. Do not make it about the daughter, when discussing. Make it about her, and her sending a device that only she controls, into your private space. That is the issue after all
