My boyfriend of 6 yrs had to go to a concert to watch his son last weekend. We go everywhere together except for this. The kids mother called with 1 ticket and only 1. He said she bought 20 tickets and only had 1 left for him.
I think she did it deliberately because she is so jealous of me.
His 2 adult kids from a previous marriage went, and it was just like old times except I wasnt there. Is it me or was she being a manipulative old heffer again? He said she wouldnt do that, but she did, so who is it me or is he giving her too much credit. She has done things like this before.

This "kid" is in college. He is an adult. All the kids are adults, from both marriages.

Only she and God really knows. Don't sweat this. The kids are grown. You should not be having that much contact with the ex anyway. You said boyfriend? I think after 6 years, it should be "husband". Don't you think? Well anyway, my focus at this point would be why am I a girlfriend and not at least a fiancee. God Bless

She may have done it deliberately but even if so, there is nothing you can do to change it so let it go. These are the complexities of boyfriends with children and exes. When you sign up for it, you have to accept that this is the way it's going to be. By the way, why still a boyfriend after 6 years? Doesn't he want to remarry? I don't know about you, but I would expect more out of life for myself than that. Good luck!

If they are staying like this for the sake of the kids, well, something is wrong here - they are adults. They should be OK with the fact their parents have divorced. If not, get out, as that family needs major mental help.
I think he's sticking up for her, not you. Something isn't right there. You need to talk to him about it. Forget that she is being manipulative - there are deeper issues than that.

Who cares....
You are an adult, you could easily have bought tickets to the concert yourselves. Stop relying on your bf's ex for tickets, etc... Do it yourself! If he wanted to, your bf could have gotten 2 tickets to the concert - I doubt it was sold out. OR he could have planned ahead of time and bought tickets prior to the concert for the 2 of you.
Sounds like you are more jealous than she is.
Also, sometimes it is helpful for the kids NOT to have to worry about mom and dad and their significant others. Sometimes, it is NICER for the kids just to have mom and dad present at special events.
If your bf loves you, then just ignore it and be glad you didn't have to go to a boring kid concernt...

Well... if your man is still friendly towards his ex for the sake of the children... then you have to realize that they broke it off for a reason and now he is with you but sees her to keep the children happy. He is thinking of them first. As far as this little episode... sure she could have done it on purpose... but you know what... its THEIR kids and once in a while its ok that you dont attend something. If you are uncomfortable about the situation then you need to talk to your man about it. His ex can do whatever she wants... as far as she is concerned YOU are the one that does not belong in the picture. So, let her be jelous and work it out with your man... eventually you are going to have to work it out for the childrens sake anyway. Dont be offended... just move on. Good luck and happy holidays.
