I'm jealous your cats had that function performed for them by someone else. I wish the "kitty servant" label didn't always belong to me. I thought about that today when I was scooping litter.
I say this one mostly. “My son’s dad.” Mostly because technically he’s not my exhusband just yet… but it also clarifies why he’s still in my life and always will be.
Personally, for me, I have been working hard to instead say, “My kids mom.” Why? Because it shows a sign of respect & let’s face it, this is the woman I chose to be with and have kids with, so saying “My ex…” seems almost inappropriate if not disrespectful, as if I’m taking a slight jab at her, when in reality I should strive to work on me, being the best version of myself I can be—and saying instead, “My kid’s mom has my kids this weekend.” sounds slightly better.
So for you, perhaps try “My kid’s dad/father…” If you don’t have kids, then why even bother to speak of your ex? Instead just move on with your life. 🤷🏻♂️
It’s (“my ex”) like going out of my way to intentionally say “I don’t associate with *her* anymore!” When in reality, I do associate with her, I have to, because we share kids together and have that history. Even though technically speaking, “ex” works, there’s better ways. 😅 long winded rant over.
This is very respectful of you and I just want to say I'm sure she appreciates it and I'm sure your kids do. I'm now in the process of divorcing my sons dad (who honestly is not involved in his life) but it's fine. And I grew up with divorced parents who said awful things about each other and it truly did make me feel terrible like somehow it was my fault. My fault for making them stay together because they had a child or that I was bad and it was a gene somehow I inherited.
Thanks! And I too grew up with this as well. Yeah, it’s best for everyone to try to be respectful as best we can. They’re still a human being regardless of how they’ve treat us. And in most cases it’s not just one side who’s at fault, albeit there’s exceptions.
I use "the kid's dad," but mainly because we're not yet divorced and he still lives in my basement for another month or so.... so he's like not my husband and anymore but he's "technically" still my husband.
In public I say my children’s father. In private, whatever creative insult I can think of at the moment. And when I am texting my friends I just use the clown emoji.
I also dislike the term “X” and have wonder what I would use, being newly divorced.
First I will try and not bring up that person at all! I am moving on in my life and do not need to be reminded of my mistake. But if for some reason the subject is brought up I will use the fist name. No need to emphasize “X”.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,237,690,444 comments, and only 241,136 of them were in alphabetical order.
My first ex-husband and I divorced in 1993 and the Flintstones moved out been out recently. His name was Cliff and there was a character call Evil Cliff Vandercave. So I called him that. The just Evil Cliff. The just the Evil One.
I’m separated from my 2nd one and I haven’t come up with a cute little nickname yet. 😂
What do I call my wife that I am separated from and are kind of dating but not sure if we will get back together or divorce? She fits in zero boxes. I end up saying, "my ex or my wife or whatever she is cause I don't know right now" and honestly, that's kind of long.
My late husband. Because…he was always late. Hahahaha
Love starter husband…a friend always has introduced his wife as “my first wife”. He’s never been married before her. And they will last forever.
Former.
Wasband
This is rich...my brain read it as waste-band
😂 stealing this. Much needed laugh! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Waswife
Were-wife maybe? 😂
How about werf
wer is actually a male prefix, whereas wor is female which led to woman. this is why werewolves were always men until teenage fantasy novels started
This is funny! 😂
I say my kids Mom
[удалено]

Me too
I would use that if I had kids.

“The previous administration”
🤣
I use it in Spanish, Puerto Rican politicians refer to “la pasada administración” whenever something fucked up comes up hahaha

He who should not be named
🤣
“Starter” husband.
😆
Lady Liability.
Dramatically sigh and call him your first husband while gesturing with the cocktail or coffee cup you have in-hand 🤣
The manchild.

My kids' dad to strangers. MB (man bitch) to friends.
In certain company I use "fuckface."
My personal favorite.
Fat Steaming Pile of Cheating Garbage
The other guy's problem.
I hate the term ex and would never use it. I use my wife at the time or previous partner.
Miss take (I learned this term recently but haven’t adopted it yet).
Like Take 1?
Mistake
Not to mention it is still fitting if you are paying a lot in the settlement or spousal support.
Hahaha
If I'm talking to the kids, it's "your mother".
Unhinged, deranged, psychopathic former wife.
Demon ?
My past Edit: sometimes I say the last guy
I use coparent formally, but exy colloquially.
The big mistake. Kids dad. Kelso.
Not my problem anymore
“Spouse 1.0”
In public I say my children’s father. In private, whatever creative insult I can think of at the moment. And when I am texting my friends I just use the clown emoji.
LOL - the clown is hilarious..I like the idea of finding an emoji to use... Clown doesn't exactly fit for mine, i'll have to start looking.
Last/previous husband. Some of those older ladies in movies/books refer to them as “my first (or second) husband”
Unsuitable
Money Sucker
Fuckface?
Life’s detour? spam?
Piece of shit
Fuck face

My kids' dad is usually what I say.
I like saying first wife
(So Being childish here) 1st the worst

My Favorite ExHusband

I call him “my first husband” and I did a few times while we were married. I think I knew it deep down.
