Is being "nice" to your ex keeping you stuck in his orbit? In this episode, my friend and fellow coach Diana Swillinger and I peel back the layers on everything related to your ex.
We tackle the sticky, icky, post-divorce drama: how to set boundaries, why you don't owe him or his people anything, and how to stay in your lane.
If you've ever wondered:
- Am I being mean for not giving a crap about his new wife?
- Is it bad to limit contact with his family?
- Should I let my kids like the girlfriend? (Um. You can’t stop them. Sorry.)
- Am I a monster for offering him the fine china after he got legally dubbed an abuser?
...then welcome. Pull up a chair.
Laundry List of Scenarios We Cover:
- When your ex still wants to be your BFF
- When his mom keeps bringing up the marriage
- When his new girlfriend is too nice and your kids love her
- When his lawyer won’t quit
- When triangulation sucks you in, and you need to say, “I’m out”
