How to deal with jealously of current partners ex?

Your partner needs to make the decision to cut off contact with the ex. If they have children together, they need to notify their ex that any contact will be solely and strictly limited to discussions about the kids. The kids should also not be put in the middle, with any adults badmouthing the others to them. There's very little that can be done if your partner won't acknowledge the ex's behavior and won't stop tolerating it.


How should a parent handle things with a child who is hearing bad things about them from the other parent?

In this situation, it is important for the parent to remain calm and avoid badmouthing the other parent in return. The parent should listen to the child's concerns and validate their feelings, while also providing reassurance and reminding them of their love and support. It may be helpful to involve a neutral third party, such as a therapist or mediator, to facilitate communication and help resolve any conflicts.


How should someone handle a cheating ex who is destroying their reputation?

How is he destroying your reputation (unless you're the one he's cheating with)? You can't handle what he does, but you can handle how you act. Stop seeing him, cut off all contact and don't respond to his calls. If anyone brings him up to you, say you're not interested in talking about him and change the subject. Don't stoop to his level by badmouthing him--keep him out of sight and out of mind as much as you can. A person's reputation is very valuable. And if you can see this why cant they. If they are your ex, apparently for a reason, then you need to back off and let them take care of this situation on their own. If for whatever reason you have remained friends with this person, I would give it one heart to heart talk and after that back off. You may get pulled into their bull and why would you want that.


How do you cope with fallout at work when your narcissist almost ex-husband has been badmouthing you to mutual work colleagues and they don't ask you directly about it but just talk behind your back?

As hard as it is, rise above it...take the high road and say nothing. Those who really know the good in you are your friends and may even be defending you as they "talk behind your back"! : ) A wise person will take it all in context of the divorce situation, and you will gain their respect by staying professional and on task with your work. If they gossip, spread rumors, and spend their time talking about you behind your back they are neither good friends OR work colleagues. Keep your head down and work hard. Find friends outside of work who are supportive of you. Pay no mind to those who are not. Focus on the positive aspects of the new life ahead of you! Good luck!


When no theft has occured is it more abusive for someone to be called a thief or for the accused to cuss at the person when the accusation was vindictive and made you feel resentful?

Both people need to either stay away from eachother, or to have someone else mediate the situation. It may have been a misunderstanding as to who actually perpetuated the theft. Don't let a sitation like this escalate into physical violence where someone could be injured or arrested. Ignore them totally and don't feed into the drama by badmouthing them or talking about them. If they badmouth you to others it's more likely to reflect on what kind of person they are--don't stoop to their level. If it's at your workplace, avoid them as much as possible and do not think of getting revenge on them via your company. Don't argue, steal or anything else and it will be that much more difficult for this person to accuse you in the future. If you are accused again, ask calmly (with witnesses present) for what evidence the person has; if it's at a job, have your supervisor notified and discuss this only with him/her.
