Why on earth are you doing ANYTHING for your ex-husband? Ridiculous! Of course he should do it himself!

Is he just color blind or completely blind? What you need to ask yourself is ,is he really worth all the trouble? What is it that is making you keep on doing this for him , a part of you still cares because he could find somebody else to do this for him. About this new guy it may be better to go back to the one who loves you than loving a guy who does not appreciate your love. No you are not stupid just a little confused, take your time to think about all this from a different perspective(say an observer) you'll know what to do....

The question really should be, do you feel stupid for doing it? Do you have the kind of relationship with him where you can lean on each other for some things, maybe he fixes your car, or does odd jobs for you, or picks you up in his car and takes you shopping. In which case why not do something like his ironing. Or does he just expect you to do it, and you just do because its easier, maybe he doesn't even appreciate it, or bullies you if you say no, or puts on the little boy lost act if you don't. If you feel put upon, and he does nothing for you, charge him for doing it. He will either pay, or you will have much less ironing to do. You no longer have a duty of care for him, and do not need to do things like this to keep up your part of the bargain.
It really is up to you to decide. Maybe you like doing his ironing, maybe it makes you feel good knowing you are helping him out. The main thing is, if it leaves you feeling compromised, used or uncomfortable, either charge the going rate, or don't do it, but if it makes you feel you are helping him out, the way he helps you, then enjoy, I hope he appreciates it!

The only reason I would do my ex husband's ironing for him is if he PAID me for it!!! Seriously, if you want to carry on doing it you should charge him. £5 or £7 a black binbag full or whatever you think reasonable - there are lots of women who do this - take other people's ironing and charge £5 a bag to do it.
I used to know a girl who did her brother's and all his housemates' (there were 4 of them) ironing for £5 a bag (they were all young lads too busy going out drinking and stuff to care about doing their own housework). She was a single mum and it really helped as she'd do a bag a week for each of them - so she made £20 a week from it. Thats an extra £80 a month!!!
If you're not together anymore you don't owe him anything for free. So if you carry on doing, make sure he's paying you for it. You wouldn't do the bloke-down-the-street's ironing for free would you? You'd make sure he paid. So why is your ex any different?
Time to make some fair cash from your hard work, sister! Be a housewife entrepreneur!!!

After a divorce, the only acceptable use of an iron was demonstrated by Little Mo.
Not that I'm suggesting you should lamp your ex in the face with it.
Unless he's Trevor Morgan come back from the dead. In which case, give it some welly girl!

Don't believe the question. If he is your ex and you are thinking of getting back together ok iron on. Other wise don't be so stupid let him do it himself, it's not that difficult even for a man.

I have to say yes you are stupid for doing his ironing. It just sounds weird. If you start seeing someone else what will he think of you doing your ex husbands ironing. Its okay to still be friends but that is being more than friends I think. Sounds like he is taking advantage of you.

I wouldn't say stupid but he is taking advantage of you,the key word here is EX, give him a bill for your efforts or tell him to learn to iron himself or pay for it you are not his slave
