Steve you really need to learn to just say "I understand you feel that way" You are trying logic and reason to manipulate her back.

Interesting it has been 3 years and my ex has never heard from me who I am dating. You are d for a week and you tell your ex to make her jealous. Then you guys include the kids because you are both toxic people.

Steve you are not even close to moving on and you are going to take down this other woman in the process.
