ORIGINAL: kiwisub12 Having an ex myself, I would never put myself in a position of having to listen to him talk about anything that is important to me. Whenever we had to talk about the kids, I didn't give him any ammunition to use against me. Keep the discussion on the kids, all the kids, and nothing but the kids. and yes, ex-husbands are the WORST!!!! This. We don't have kids but the divorce took 3 years, and 5 years later I am still dealing with legal issues with him. He's on a need to know basis and there is very little he needs to know about me. Remember, less is more. He doesn't need to know anything about your personal life now. You don't need to explain to him what you do and why. This will save yourself a lot of frustrating verbal entanglements, and also give you the upper hand in your dealings with him. Exes get pretty squirmy when you stop letting them in.
