Boyfriend's exw told him to wear a mask around the kids after being with me

[Anonymous]

I am in a long distance relationship with an old friend. I hadn't visited him since May. I am visiting him now. We both have 3 kids, are responsible parents, etc. Today his exw told him to wear a mask around the kids for the next 2 weeks because I traveled from out of state and he's spending time with me. Keep in mind their kids (teens and tween) have been out and about for months, sports, sleepovers, visiting relatives, etc. Cases are active if both locations, in fact their location is hot-spottier.

Ok.

Sounds reasonable. Also, none of your business.

And so your problem is that he's complying with her request?


He told you about her request?


That she made the request?

I agree with her.

Things she probably closely monitors.

Dad gets sick the kids can't spend time with them.

He's not complying. I am a mom of 3 kids and I share custody with exh. I wouldn't fathom of making a similar request. It's nutty and controlling.

He does all of their sports. The relatives they visited were his. Any time kids have sleepovers, especially teens, they are at risk. Why is she so concerned about this situation?

Thank you! There's enough details in your post for a custody modification!

I am an exw too. I get it. But this isn't about that. It's about her controlling/punishing him. (I know, because I am an exw.)

I get the sense that a lot of parents are using covid as a way to control their exes ...
