Im a young step parent (23) to a four year old girl. My partner and I live together and we have DD 3 days a week. My partner had his daughter when he was 18. He and his daughters mother lived at his grandmothers house for the first few years of his daughters life until they broke up. As a result, his daughters mother has developed a strong relationship with his grandmother, despite her treating him and I pretty crappy. When he goes over to his grandmothers house to visit, his daughters mother will periodically come by also, and they will all sit and eat dinner together and talk and watch tv. On a regular basis, my partner and his ex communicate only about their child via text or short phone calls, and its pretty limited. However, when they are at his grandmothers house, they are there for anywhere between 4-8 hours together and during this time he ignores me and doesnt ever come home and talk to me about his time there, unless i ask how his day was. When ive tried to talk to him about this, he says im letting my insecurities get the best of me. Would it bother anyone else? This happened today, as they all went to church together (he specifically didnt want me/invite me to come with them) and i told him it made me feel left out.
How much time does your spouse spend with his ex and child together, and what do you think about the situation?
