    Why does my pregnant ex wife call and vent to me?
    My pregnant ex wife calls and vents to me about what's going on in her life and her new boyfriend. She ask to hang out... ask to stay over at my place? Is it because she is trying to keep me around emotionally or make me mad?

    She's doing this because you let her.

    She is an ex wife!

    That is a different ballpark entirely to even being friends with her- and I presume the baby is not yours, right?

    Change your phone number, block her access to your email/facebook, etc. and let her go.

    If there is a rope, she will hang onto it, obviously. Let it go, move on.

    I find this inappropriate on both your parts, but you don't have to be her safety net, or emotional tampon, unless you allow it. I think its a very bad idea, for whatever reason, to even be involved in your pregnant ex wife new relationship in any shape, form, or fashion.

    Usually because the new relationship isn't going well, and she wants to keep one foot in your door. That and pregnancy hormones, maybe. I'm not sure how we total strangers are supposed to know what her motives are. Presumably you know her pretty well? Or not...

    Are you in a new relationship? She may just want another mans opinion... Have you asked her why she comes to you with her relationship problems?
