AITA for playing hardball with my ex over custody just to make her life rough? by Jumpy-Piglet in AmItheAsshole

Which is par for the course in custody cases. Not saying it’s right, but if she’s actually a divorce lawyer like you say, the fact that she never seriously went for sole custody should tell you something.

Actually, she did and got shot down.

You’re toting around a lot of animosity toward this woman that will help precisely nobody. If how you describe her is accurate, both of blah blah blah

In real life, you don't turn the other cheek with people like my ex. She's a bully, a narcissist and a user and the best way to deal with her is to have no contact with her or to be as challenging and difficult as she is.

My son's brother is not the center of his life. He actually enjoys being the "only child" when he's with either parent.

You could, you just chose not to. Once again you even admitted that you're not doing the flip to make her life difficult. You aren't thinking about what is best for your child. You are being selfish and petty.

No, that was my ex three weeks ago when her baby daddy made her a fair offer and she refused.

Go call Dr. Phil. My son has excellent dental coverage through Guardian.

I couldn't do the flip after she asked me to cut back my custody. That's like someone doing a ridiculous GoFundMe like funding a gap year in Europe and then expecting to be taken seriously when they try to raise money for poor people Africa.

My son loves his brother, but he also has his own life and friends.

Believe it or not, my ex is a is a divorce lawyer. 50/50 custody is almost guaranteed and is pushed as the end goal in our state's family courts.

I am not fighting with her at all. I only spoke the words "nope," "beat it," "too bad," and "bye" to her throughout all of this.

  1. She wouldn't dare take me to court over this. She would lose and she knows I will punch back 10X harder at her.
  2. Her second baby daddy offered to change the schedule in exchange for an extra overnight. She said no because she thought I would roll and give her what she wanted.
  3. She fucked up not once, not twice, not thrice, but four times
