Guest Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Does any one else deal with this? My girlfriend is always helping her x out with stupid requests. She bends over backwards to do him favors. I can't figure this out when he hasn't even been a dependable father. He's always late or asking her to watch their kid so he can do something relating to work. I've said this to her but she says that since he's helping her she should help him. Does this mean she is still in love with him? Why is she doing him favors at all? Link to post Share on other sites
hopelessly_naive Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 She's trying to have a good relationship with her kids father, there's nothing wrong with that. Kids whos parents get along well (whether they're together or not) are more likely to become functional healthy adults. You should think about supporting your girlfriends decisions and admire her being so nice to the father of her child or children even though he doesn't make it easy. From what you've said it doesn't sound like there's anything romantic going on between the two of them (unless there's stuff you didn't mention), so while it's human to be scared of losing her to this guy don't worry so much and be happy you have a girlfriend who is obviously a strong and caring mother. If it bothers you so much talk to her about it but keep an open mind and don't accuse her of having feelings for her ex right off the bat. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites
