If your husband was calling his ex wife and kids are in their 20's?
Long story short. My husband can get away with calling his ex wife that he was not in contact with for many years and I was the one that pushed him to contact his (kids) Now his kids are 23 and 21 but when they are not home he is talking to his ex for about 1 hour and calls the next night for another 1/2 hour. He doesn’t tell me when he calls (very seldom) but I know when he does call. I have the right to know I think being married to him for 14 years.
He and I have a good close marriage but he told me she is my friend.
I am so upset and hurt inside that I find when he calls and I have spoke to him about it but he doesn’t seem to cut this back. I understand a father should keep in touch with his kids but I tracked calls from November until now and it has been 15 calls and sometimes for one hour at a time.
My father doesn’t call me or my sister or brother this much maybe once every week or two.
His kids are 23 and 21 and they are out on a friday night so I found he called at 1015pm and spoke to her until 11pm
She is 56 and he is 49 and I wonder why would he do this to me. Is he wanting another friendship ? Is he lacking something with me? They live 5 hours away from us and maybe this is his mid life crisis?
She never remarried so of course I am sure likes speaking to him but how much can they speak about and about what.
They were only married for 5 years and during those years he was away for 2 years and then left her in 1990 ( not for me)
I am truly hurt over this and don’t know what I should think?
My mom said they have a past and history together. They have kids. I can understand if the kids were older but 23 and 21 … he can call once every week or two but not 1 hour on xmas the next night at 10pm for 1/2 hour then on 12/29 and 1/2 for 1 hour … while I was out.
The thing is I never met her and the kids do not want to meet me. He tried over and over to talk to them but they can not accept all these years later that he is not with their mother.
It is driving me nuts because I was the one who told him about 3 years ago get to know his kids & it backfired in my face.
Of course I know he should call his kids but if you saw on the bill how much he calls and your not around and wonder what can be said, what can be spoken about…
My husbands mother is close with her and dislikes and she adds my fire to this whole deal by telling them things.
it truly is taking an effect on me. As much as I tell him it is bothering me, he seems to be ignoring and disrespecting my feelings.
Any advice.

well you give a lot of detail here.but he doesn’t need to talk to the ex at all.he has tried to contact his kids through his ex.which is fine.as in she has the info to give their kids it .so he can talk to them.they now have the option to.so him talking to her after the fact is way wrong.so i would relate this to him.if he doesn’t get it then his motivations are off the scale. he is looking for more than just talking to his kids.that’s when you need to do something more than assume.
