Why would my ex-husband?

keep calling to talk to our son, and then ask for me. Every time he talks to me he tells me things about his current marriage and now last night, he asked me if I could remember if I got sick while I was pregnant with our son. He wanted to know because his wife has been vomiting and she thinks she's pregnant. Why does he keep coming to me about this? I've asked him to talk to his wife, but he always calls me first. It really bothers me. It's like he's trying to rub things in my face. I told him that I didn't mind talking to him, but not about our personal relationships. It's not my business, nor is it his with my life. His main concern should be our son. Thanks for your help.

    maybe he is trying to be vindictive. but i would just simply hang up once he starts talking about his wife. especially if u told him that u prefer him not to do that.

    Its almost as if he still needs you. He obviously respects your oppinion. He is probably confused and doesn't know where else to go to. I assume he wasn't much help with your pregnancy, so he has know idea what is going on. Or he coul be completely messing with you and just rubbing it in your face. It is important for the child to see divorced parents maintain a healthy realtionship. If things get ugly, it puts a lot of stress on the child and they could develop some tug of war issues and not feel very safe talking to either parent about anything or feel like they have to hate the other parent around the other one. Just tell your ex to go to a doctor.

    Best of Luck. Don't let the man keep you down, sister. ;)

    Only agree to talk to him concerning your son matters. If he starts on other things, hang up abruptly.

    Stop taking the calls. When he asks for you tell him your busy and hang up. He can only tell you things if you are listening..

    So why do you keep taking the calls??? When your son finishes, tell him to tell his dad that you are too busy to talk.

    I agree with everything you've said.

    Tell him that if you haven't already.
