To keep it short: my ex-wife cheated on me with this guy, we divorced, she married him immediately after. Since January we’ve been co-parenting, she has our son (14 years old) for 2 weeks & I have him for 2 weeks. Her now husband is wealthy, and for the winter holidays they plan on going to the Maldives for 3 weeks (I agreed to give up 1 week of my 2 weeks; gonna get +1 week with son after the vacation). Apparently son has been asking his mom and stepdad if I can come as well. So ex-wife calls me and asks me if I’d like to go, all expenses paid by them, just to be with our son and have some fun - and let’s “put all the bad blood behind”. I told her I’ll think about it, but honestly I don’t think I’d feel comfortable. At the same time going would make son extremely happy obviously. Idk.
The Maldives is a very small enclosed space. Whatever Island you go to, or resort you go to, there’s not a lot of diversity of things to do. You’re going to see everything very quickly, and most of your time is going to be " relaxing ".
If you’re in the mental space to be able to look past your ex-wife and their new husband. Go. Hang out with your son, go skiing, go fishing, crab hunting, paddle ball, anything.
If, however, even seeing your ex triggers emotions in you that you can’t control. That’s going to be a problem in a very small enclosed space.
Up until he’s laying by the pool and he sees his ex and new husband canoodling in it.
