Was on the phone with ex wife for 45 mins yesterday

Anonymous
Yesterday ex wife is called me briefly discussed about the kids return to school but Everytime I was going to hand up she brought something else. We ended up speaking on the phone for 45 mins and her doing 95% of the talking.

She is in a serious relationship and I am not sure how her bf will fell if he finds out that his gf spent 45 mins talking to her ex husband.

How do I nicely tell her that she crossed a line? Nothing romantic or sexual was said but I don't it's appropriate for her to be telling about her life because not only I don't care, but it's annoying.

You think it’s inappropriate to speak for 45 minutes to someone you share kids with? Jfc

How about using your words, OP?

The fact that you think a 45 minute conversation is some romantic overstep may be a clue into one of the reasons for your divorce.

You are strange. I'm glad she left you. She did not cross the line.

OP has a point. I will not be comfortable if I am dating someone and she spent 45 mins talking to her ex husband.

Folks, 45 mins? Come on now. They clearly still have a strong bond and it's a slippery slope.

And why would the ex wife talks to him about her personal life? It's weird as f**k

Hey ladies. Serious question. And be honest. Will you be comfortable if your boyfriend spent 45 mins on the phone with his ex wife and the topics they talked about were not urgent?

If they had kids together, I would hope to not be so insecure and childish that I cared about a guy talking to the mother of his children.

I have a SN child with exH. We talk several times a week re arrangements for his treatment mainly financial aspects, and attend counselor meetings together on zoom.

As a side note - we absolutely can't stand each other and I wish I didn't have to talk to him

Actually there's nothing wrong with it.

Did she cross a line? If the subject was all kid stuff and logistics, no she didn’t. Doesn’t matter how long the call was.

You being annoyed about the length of the call is a different topic. If you prefer text messages or something else for these kid and logistic communications, push for that. Personally I’d prefer a 45 min call over 45 text messages. Hopefully you find a way to communicate with her about the kids that doesn’t annoy you - just think about it as being a good dad and getting it done. What her new BF thinks is none of your business.

If you don't want to discuss anything but the kids don't end the conversation you've got to go. But it seems like it would be in your interest to stay cordial with her for your kids too.

I would not. My boyfriends ex wife texts him all the time for things that are not even related to their kids. The other day she called him and told him that she was stressed at work. I talk to him about it already. I don't mind them talking, but I feel like she is doing it on purpose.
