Lying to the kids

I just want to vent. Not looking for any advice or guidance. But today I am kind of pissed at my ex. Earlier today she asked me if I can watch the kids for the evening. I always say yes...love spending time with them. And they do too. So we went on a bike ride...and guess who we ran into. My ex and her BF...riding bikes. She was kind of shocked when she saw us. Her BF didnt even stop..just kept going. The kids asked her to join us but she told them she has to go buy someting and she would catch up with us. Well, couple of hours later we ran into them again. They were sitting in the restaurant and hacing dinner. We had to stop because kids saw her too. I introduced myself to her BF, nothing against the guy. Seems nice. But my older one was really dissapointed. It broke my heart. He kept asking me why is she going on the bike ride with him and never wants to take them. I just didnt know what to say and tried to change the subject. She has been doing this before. Tells the kids she has to go to a meeting just ao ahe can be with her BF. She rarely takes them anywhere. When they are with me we go to the pool, ice cream, park, bike rides...you name it. It just kills me that she is lying to the kids. Same happened during her affair. How con some people do this to their kids. Put their own needs first. I really am glad I divorced her. I did think she was much better than this. I do not care what she does with her life. It does not hurt. I just find it pathetic. Next week she is moving and will be an hour away. Just so she can be closer to him. Its gonna be hard, I will se them even less than now. They live only 10 minutes away. But I have plans to move closer. BTW, I just moved 3 months ago in a nice little town, and agreement was that she would move to the same town because schools are good. End of vent...thanks for reading. Posted via Mobile Device
