Dear Lindsey:

I agree, “financial discussions are a must” in a long-term relationship.

“5 minutes after I sent that text to my ex pulls up to drop off baseball equipment to my son with his girlfriend. Now-the divorce paperwork outlines he cannot come into my neighborhood…  I am thinking about getting a temporary restraining order.  I know that sounds extreme but it’s the only way I know to make him follow our divorce paperwork and I will also have it on file for the future” –

– I agree with you about getting a restraining order and placing on file his disregard for the divorce agreement. It is not extreme on your part; it is extreme on your ex’s part to disregard the rules that he previously agreed on! I am sorry that you have to deal with your ex, a passive-aggressive character, is he?
