I haven't asked a question in quite awhile. I'm just wondering how to deal with my ex?

He is acting jealous now that I have a great new man in my life. My ex had told me not to divorce but then after I moved out to think about things he not only filed the divorce papers but a bitter child custody fight which I won. He was telling everyone I was mental (must be leaving him). Anyway, he is arrogant and just makes himself at home when visiting my house, takes naps on the couch etc. I don't want to cause problems and try to get along for our kids but last time he was here he slapped me on the butt then just replied with whatever when I told him it was my weekend next. Most people have said I shouldn't even allow him in the house. I don't think he really understands the word DIVORCE and was hoping I would come crawling back. He always said I could never find any one else. He tries to find fault with my boyfriend too. I have been divorced over 2 yrs and separated a year before that. The divorce was filed by him less than a month after I moved out but because of the child custody it took about a year to be finalized. Will he ever let go?

    Cut the cord with him! Yeah you have kids together, BUT that's it! Don't let him in your house to hang out, don't speak to him about anything except the kids. Yes, get along in regards to the children but that's all that is necessary. From your question, he's probably interfering with your ability to move on and live your own life.
