My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years and living together for 9 months. My boyfriend has a 6-year-old daughter with his ex-wife. They were married for less than two years and have been divorced for five. She refuses to let him see his daughter unless it is at her home (which is 1,500 miles away) so he only gets to see her once a year. He took his ex-wife back to court earlier this year but the judge wouldn't budge on the child custody arrangement. The problem is that my boyfriend talks to his ex-wife almost on a daily basis. He thinks that she has ever right to call him and tell him about her personal life because it has an affect on his daughter. The phone calls always turn into a screaming match between the two of them and he doesn't even get to talk to his daughter. When he gets off the phone, he begins to complain to me about his ex-wife. When I agree with his that she is being a total broom-riding witch, he gets angry at me. He will tell me that I have no right to have an opinion since I didn't hear the whole conversation, have never met her, etc.... However when my daughters begin to talk about stuff their father (they are from a previous marriage) says about me.... my boyfriend gets upset and informs me that I need to talk to my ex about it. Most of the stuff my children repeat to me I just let roll off my back. The one time I told him not to worry about it, he began lecturing me about how knowledgable he was dealing with people who are divorced. He went to two years of marriage counseling with his ex-wife and tells me all the time that I don't communicate my thoughts and feelings properly. Any advice?
