My STBEx-Husband seems to be the classic Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. When he's w/his "mistress" (whom he left me for) he's a total Mr. Hyde -- rude, cold, says hateful things, says that he hates me more than anything, calls me inappropriate names, laughs at his "mistress" when she does the same to me, complains about me asking for $$ for our daughter. But when she's not around, & our daughter & I are visiting him, he's Dr. Jekyll -- nice, friendly, all smiles, apoligizes for earlier events, swears he does NOT hate me, gives me $$ (though never very much) without complaining, has even bought me lunch several times.
I dont get it? I simply want to be friends w/him for our daughter's sake, but it's not going to work if I'm the friend in person, but the "evil ex" when she's around.
I'm curious to try to understand why he's acting like this? Is he trying to impress her? or just being fake? why is he only nice when she's not there?
