I have been trying to process my interaction with my ex yesterday....
He came to drop off my 6 year old. I had some forms for him from her 1st grade teacher so i flagged him down. He got out of his car and came in the garage. He stood about 6 feet away from me. We talked for about 70 minutes. His car was running in the driveway. He was definitely more like the old ex. He talked mostly about how he is working on parenting the children better and imposing stricter rules when he has my 17 year-old. He agreed to help my son pay for a bedroom set and agreed to pay my daughter's high school tuition bill. He was very accommodating. All these things he had told me he was not going to pay about 2 weeks ago. I really felt if I had asked for the moon he would of tried to get it for me. This is definitely like my old ex. He looked so much more humble than usual and wore clothes he would have worn when he lived with me. Daughters have told me that our interactions are making OW livid. They have had numerous arguments regarding this. She is pushing marriage and I don't think he has been very receptive. They have been living together for 4 years now.
Ex played down the amount of money he is making and repeated many times how poor he is. I know this is not true, and we are going to court at the end of the month to increase child support due to the rise in his income. My point in mentioning this is that he is still not truthful regarding some things. He definitely wanted me to know he is being a good parent and is hurting financially, even though he has a high 6 figure income. Overall it was a good interaction.
