How do you deal with the ex's when dating?
I've been single for about 18 months, ending a long-term relationship. I've recently struck up a friendship with someone. We have alot in common, and went out to dinner this week for the first time. He's going through a divorce (after 18 years and she cheated). It's scary enough re-entering the dating world, but how do you handle an ex who's trying to cause problems already? We both have kids, so dealing with ex's is inevitable. I hardly speak to mine, but his is, well, a little psycho for lack of a better term. I'm trying to be discreet, but it's a small town. He'll call his kids to say goodnight, and she'll grab the phone and start screaming at him if she thinks he's with me. We were on the phone a minute ago, and she barged into his house with their kids screaming "get off the phone with your little girlfriend now!" I like him, but I don't know if I'm ready for all the drama. I feel bad that his kids are seeing this. Any suggestions?
