Yes, you can feel jealous.

Will it change how he behaves, no.

Will it make you feel better, no.

My ex husband has the kids (if anyone would like to know the ins and outs please pm me, no big reason lol) and I have them every other weekend and Ads has his kids the other weekends.

I don’t think my not being there has made him more chained to the house if anything his social life has just got better now I’m not around it seems, he’s out every weekend, I doubt he thinks I’m swanning about living the life of Riley while he has them (they are all teenagers) during the week because as I say he social life has improved ten fold lol.

You haven't moved on properly if you are jealous of him for any reason I think.

You ever considered he could be jealous of your position too ?

There are many guys who appear to be having a great time of it, whereas in actual fact they are putting on a mask of enjoyment to cover up the fact they'd like to be in the comfort of their home enjoying time with their wife & kids

Sorry you felt crap last night

Hope today is brighter for you x

He could be waiting for an invite as he may feel that he'd be invading your space if he just turned up.

So, is that what you are miffed about ?

Or do you want him out of your life but here at traditionally family times 'for the kids' ?

I am not saying that is unreasonable to want that btw

He may have also done one to Oz because that's where he felt he could 'escape' from his shattered life.

Anyway, sorry. None of my business. I'll butt out now. I just feel in a marital breakdown there is always more than one set of emotions to consider.

So you finished the marriage , and felt lonely .

I see no reason at all for him to be around for you at Christmas .

And the fact that he went to Australia sounds like he has got over things pretty well , which is more than you have . Of course it’s wrong for you to feel jealous of his freedom , but possibly understandable . After all , you are the master of your own destiny , and you created the current situation as I see it .

I agree I think it's the facts he's gone to Oz that's made you feel jealous. You left him remember OP so he's the right to do what he wants with his life exactly like you are doing on fab.

Totally agree with you. No I'm not bothered he's in Oz, I'm bothered the way he went about arranging it all and then when I'd made plans for Christmas and finalised it all he demanded I change it to accommodate his travel plans. I didn't

Well put.

I am with my children all week and it's hard doing it all on your own at times, especially when there's no one there to chill out with after a hectic day.

It DOES get easier and I've started to appreciate time on my own. I would like to share this time one day with someone else but for now I'm trying to look at the positives and having tv choice all to myself is actually lovely.

Hope things improve for you soon

I would think that's a normal feeling to have. But remember, the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

If it were me I'd be envious the first thing you get to see in the morning is the smiles on your kids faces.

In my opinion, It has nothing to do with you not being over him, as someone stated above.

Well I think that since you are the one who ended the relationship that you have no right being pissy with how he now decides to spend his time, if he wants to run off this christmas to escape what is surely now going to be the most difficult time of year for him since you ruined his happiness and destroyed his life and family then you need to keep your selfish shitty opinion to yourself and not give him any shit for it, all that matters now is that he is a decent father to your children, the rest of his life you dont even get an opinion. But also yes its only natural for you to feel this way as you have shared many years with him and had a family together, this will pass in time but move on and allow him to do the same without your crazy jealously getting in the way

"Is it wrong that I feel jealous over my ex husbands freedom, as in generally being able to live like he's no responsibilities?

I totaly understand how you feel.

I resented my ex for a lot of years after we split, it wasn't a healthy relationship & I was the one to end it.

But being left to raise 3 children, 1 with several physical disabilities, practically single handed, while he went back to a happy single life, wasn't what I'd expected.

It took me a long time to realise that by feeling that way, he was still effectively controlling my life.

And that was a power I wasn't prepared let him continue having.

Thank you, that's exactly it. I am not jealous of what he's doing or whom he's doing it with but just the fact that he can without having to think of his responsibilities first.

We feel our emotions and use them to make our unique interpretations and meaning. We're not wrong, we're human. We have choices and can use this emotional prompt and inspiration to pursue our life as we wish to.

Ideally well steer our life to make it more fitting for us and where we wish to steer our life to.

Does he share childcare the rest of the time? The kids will see how he is when they grow up.

Some of these comments are shocking...

Us mere outsiders have no idea what their relationship was like, so the whole "you dumped him so everything is your fault" attitude is really uncalled for.

O.P, you are entitled to your own feelings, especially if he's not pulling his weight with his share of responsibilities. x
