Hi everyone, so many new names, which just made me feel sad, i wish these things didnt happen to anyone at all. That the kids didnt have to grow up in two homes and be under pressure to choose where to go.

I wonder if i could get some perspective, i know you will be honest with me. On occasion i will be in a situation whereby its H and His partner (as he calls her) and I, so most often it happens at a kids club. Im obviously there for my kids, he seems to insist on bringing her and has approached me on numerous occasions to ask to say hello to her etc. i dont really know how it started, but we have never really spoken, i concentrate on the kids, they sit seperately from me together. None of them say hello to me either, not H or her. I think a couple of years ago she might have tried and i blanked her. And this is just how it goes, i know that this is my issue, however after a convo with H im concerned that this will become and issue for my kids, particularly s6, he has a gold relationship with her. And has started asking why dont i speak to her and has given me the talk about we have to be nice to people around us if we want them to like us (my personal opinion-i certainly dont live to be liked by everyone around me) as-the kids are getting older, but i suppose not old enough, i dont want this to be an issue for my relationship with the kids and somehow create them and us, it often feels like that anyway, because im on my own and H is with someone and it sort of creates a feel of a family unit there i guess, although kids dont see her as family.
So my question is mainly around how do you interact or not with your exs other half?
