How would you feel? Posted in two groups.

My ex after not being in our sons life for over a year, started coming back around six months ago.

Okay good right? Everything has been going good, he has a girlfriend who not only respects me but our son to and is very nice to him.

(I fully support my son financially btw, he doesn’t help yet because he just started a job and is still broke atm.)

Okay so he was asking me about Christmas and what he should get our son because “I know him better” so we talked about it.

Out of no where he asks if I’m getting him something for Christmas I told him maybe I haven’t decided yet (I was still on the fence because tbh I don’t feel like he deserves anything from me right now, nor am I obligated to get him something.)

He then told me that if I got him something I needed to get his girlfriend something because it would be “weird” not to and she would probably get pissy.🙃

First off we were in a 2 1/2 year relationship, lived together, I HAD HIS KID. How is it “weird” to get the father of my kid something without getting his girlfriend, who yet again I’m not obligated to, a gift for Christmas?

He then told me she was getting him a blanket for Christmas and something else.

Good for her but nobody told her to, yes it’s nice, and yes she should since she’s dating his dad but she also didn’t have to. She chose to. Just like everything else she chooses to do for him.

I probably sound bitchy but i feel like the way he went about it was way wrong, I already barely have enough money because I fully support our son and I’m getting his Christmas. I would’ve been getting him a gift just to be nice but now I’m not. Sorry but I feel like I’m not obligated to do any of that.

He wanted to swoop in after over a year of being MIA and act like a big happy family and I’m sorry I’m not there for all that yet.🤷🏻‍♀️

**We’re all friendly with each other but it’s literally us being Civil adults for the kid. Idk where the lines got blurred for him though.

** I was going to get the gift from his son to him. Out of me being nice even though he didn’t really deserve it. I’m not now though.
