| – | How to show my ex-wife's new boyfriend that he has no authority over my children or me.That thought has crossed my mind. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/26 09:11 PM |
| – | How to show my ex-wife's new boyfriend that he has no authority over my children or me.My ex and I are amicable. He is the one who tried to start stuff. He gets off being in charge and then laughs when thing go awry. He will scream at my kids and then laugh when they get in trouble. He is a narcissisctic piece of trash. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/26 09:11 PM |
| 0 | How to show my ex-wife's new boyfriend that he has no authority over my children or me.He is only doing it to be a jerk. No other reasons other than to exert his authority. That is why he needs shut down. I have tried to be rational with him. All he does is twist things around as to why he is right and everyone else is wrong. He is an arrogant narcissist who honestly needs cracked and "factory reset" to learn his lesson. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/26 08:30 PM |
| -1 | How to show my ex-wife's new boyfriend that he has no authority over my children or me.Tried that. He views it as weakness and gets louder. I'd prefer peace but this clown isn't getting the message. Hence why it may end up with him getting popped to make him figure it out. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/26 07:57 PM |
| -3 | How to show my ex-wife's new boyfriend that he has no authority over my children or me.He is the one trying to flex. He is an arrogant loudmouth who tries to show he's in charge at all times. He has screamed at my kids like a drill sergeant and then laughs when they get punished. He's a tyrant and needs shut down. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/26 07:22 PM |
| -2 | How to show my ex-wife's new boyfriend that he has no authority over my children or me.He likes to get loud. And he will be PISSED if I go on their porch because he will view that as me being disrespectful. Any time someone goes against him, they're being "disrespectful." He thinks he is the all knowing all being supreme entity. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/26 07:19 PM |
| 1 | How to show my ex-wife's new boyfriend that he has no authority over my children or me.He needs to be shown that he's not the alpha when it comes to my kids. It's a power play for him. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/26 07:11 PM |
| 1 | How to show my ex-wife's new boyfriend that he has no authority over my children or me.I have been silent. He views it as weakness. He has been loud and mouthy towards me at both of my kids' schools trying to make it look like I am a bad parent and that's he's been stepping into my place. That's why I think he needs dropped. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/26 07:10 PM |
| 1 | How to show my ex-wife's new boyfriend that he has no authority over my children or me.Nothing is listed about that. It wasn't a problem until he decided he wanted to show he was the "alpha dog." He is an arrogant loudmouth who gets off on being in charge. Hence why he needs to be shown that he isn't. Being nice hasn't taught him that lesson. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/26 06:54 PM |
| 2 | How to show my ex-wife's new boyfriend that he has no authority over my children or me.I have tried walking away and he views it as weakness. He has loudly insulted me at both kids' school during events referring to me as a "pussy" and as a bad father. That is why I am wondering if it would be worth it just to drop and him and teach him a lesson. Waking up on the ground with a broken jaw is a good lesson to not run one's mouth. | /r/Divorce_Men | 02/07/26 06:52 PM |
| 4 | Ex-wife's boyfriend causing problems.It’s not her. The boyfriend is the one that is, in his words, “setting boundaries.” The only time I am there is to drop or pick up the kids, get meds or other things, or to discuss things with their mom. He basically said “don’t get out of your car” and I scoffed at that and told my ex he was overstepping his boundaries and being an authoritarian tyrant. Ever since then he’s been an asshole and trying to flex and “show me he’s the boss.” I’ve gray rocked his antics for over two years and he cont… | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/06/26 10:04 AM |
| 0 | Ex-wife's boyfriend causing problems.Drop the kids off. Pick the kids up. Get things for the kids. Talk to their mom about parenting things with our children. The boyfriend likes to act like he’s boss. He isn’t. She and I are boss with our kids. He needs to know his place. He gets off on being loud and arrogant. I’ve tried to grey rock him for over two years and he doesn’t get the hint. My thought is to turn it up a notch and teach him once and for all to keep his mouth shut. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/06/26 04:49 AM |
| 4 | Ex-wife's boyfriend causing problems.I do not love her. I have a GF. Issue is that he runs his mouth and tries to start shit anywhere we are in the same area. He has tried at my kids’ schools and pretty much acted like I’m a terrible parent. I’m tired of it. I tried grey rocking him for over two years. He hasn’t gotten it. I’m wondering if he is just so dense that cracking him in the jaw is the only way he will learn to keep his mouth closed. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/06/26 12:36 AM |
| 1 | Ex-wife's boyfriend causing problems.Another option is flip the script and see if I can get him to strike me. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/06/26 12:34 AM |
| 2 | Ex-wife's boyfriend causing problems.It was all good until he decided to start running his mouth. Had he kept his mouth shut, none of this would happen. He has insulted me, my kids, he has questioned my parenting, he has insulted me in public places, he has very lucky that he hasn’t gotten the shit beaten out of him for what he has said to me. And I have multiple people that have told me that. I have had multiple people say that I have a lot of patience because they would’ve dropped him for saying what he has. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/06/26 12:26 AM |
| 0 | Ex-wife's boyfriend causing problems.I have been gray rocking him for over two years and he still hasn’t figured it out. That’s why I’m thinking I need to escalate this shit. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/06/26 11:51 PM |
| 1 | Ex-wife's boyfriend causing problems.I have been trying to gray rock him for over two years and he keeps running his mouth. I am wondering if popping him in the face will finally tell him to knock it off. Most people that run their mouth tend to be little bitches when it comes to getting physical. I am the type that doesn’t run my mouth and would prefer nothing to get physical, but I will mix it up if necessary. I haven’t been in a physical altercation in over 20 years and would love to keep it that way. But this clown is really te… | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/06/26 10:32 PM |
| 3 | Ex-wife's boyfriend causing problems.I have been trying for a while. For some reason every time I turn him in for something, he finds out about it. I think he’s well connected. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/06/26 10:31 PM |
| 4 | Ex-wife's boyfriend causing problems.He makes a lot of money running an illegal business selling liquor over the internet without a liquor license. She loves living in a $700,000 house and going on vacations. Our son lives with me full time because he got sick of the boyfriend being an authoritarian tyrant. Our daughter may not be too far behind. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/06/26 10:00 PM |
| 1 | Ex-wife's boyfriend causing problems.I’ve thought about that. I think he’s arrogant enough to think he could whoop my ass but I think he’s too much of a pussy to do so. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/06/26 09:58 PM |
| -10 | Ex-wife's boyfriend causing problems.This has been going on for over two years. I originally just gray rocked him. He hasn’t gotten the hint. That is why I think I need to escalate it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/06/26 09:55 PM |
| 1 | Ex-wife's boyfriend causing problems.Kid exchange. Kids meds. Parental stuff. She had no issues. He raised a stink and tried to “set boundaries” which I scoffed at. Then he became a raging asshole. | /r/Divorce_Men | 09/06/26 09:47 PM |
| 1 | My ex's boyfriend thinks he can discipline our teenage children and that he has parental authority over my kids.When the adult in residence is a loudmouth tyrant who likes to bully my 15 year old son, that goes out the window. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/26 04:19 AM |
| 0 | My ex's boyfriend thinks he can discipline our teenage children and that he has parental authority over my kids.I am planning on getting him a phone on my plan, that way the phone can't be held hostage by a tyrannical egomaniac who thinks he can control my kid. | /r/Divorce_Men | 19/04/26 04:17 AM |
| 1 | My ex's boyfriend thinks he can discipline our teenage children and that he has parental authority over my kids.The cellphone is on their plan. They pay for it. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/26 10:16 PM |
| 2 | My ex's boyfriend thinks he can discipline our teenage children and that he has parental authority over my kids.My son is 15. His sister is 13 but the boyfriend doesn't bother her. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/26 10:10 PM |
| 2 | My ex's boyfriend thinks he can discipline our teenage children and that he has parental authority over my kids.The boyfriend did not go to my house, my ex did. And she did it when I wasn't there. I refuse to tell my kids to defy their mother, that sets a terrible precedent. I am told both of my kids "Your mom and I are 100% equals, she does not outrank me, and I do not outrank her, we have the exact same authority over you." Teenage kids NEED to know who is in charge, and a tyrannical boyfriend with a big mouth and a big ego is not on that list. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/26 10:07 PM |
| 1 | My ex's boyfriend thinks he can discipline our teenage children and that he has parental authority over my kids.I am pretty sure he'd cry like the bitch he really is and I'd end up as a guest of the county or the state. And I don't look good in orange... | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/26 09:56 PM |
| 7 | My ex's boyfriend thinks he can discipline our teenage children and that he has parental authority over my kids.I have debated on telling my kids to say that to him. "You're not my dad, I only take orders from my mom." I don't know if that would be good for the kids long term. Their mom and I aren't the only authority figures in their lives. They have to listen to teachers, coaches, police officers, bosses, etc., and there are penalties for not doing so. But the boyfriend isn't in that category as far as I am concerned, he's a nobody. I am trying to do the best for my kids, and I certainly don't have all … | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/26 09:55 PM |
| 2 | My ex's boyfriend thinks he can discipline our teenage children and that he has parental authority over my kids.They pay for the phone and he holds that above everyone's heads. And I am his father so I ABSOLUTELY have a say in what happens with my kids. This guy gets off on punishing my son, he laughs whenever he gets to do so, he's a tyrant. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/26 09:37 PM |
| 6 | My ex's boyfriend thinks he can discipline our teenage children and that he has parental authority over my kids.He is a tyrant. And he acts like a tough guy in public around me. He has tried to publicly embarrass me at my kids' schools on multiple occasions. He likes to show he's boss. And he treats my son like a slave and laughs when he punishes him, it makes him feel like an alpha. Debating on whether or not to drop him even though I will lose my job if I do that. | /r/Divorce_Men | 18/04/26 09:25 PM |
| 3 | Teenage son being bullied by his mom's arrogant boyfriend.He said because he was the one who made the decision to take his phone that I was to "do what I was instructed to do" and give the phone back to them. He thinks I am his subordinate. I would love to beat the dirt out of him, but that's not a good idea long term. I can't be a good dad if I am dressed in orange and talking to my kids through plexiglass on a corded phone. | /r/Divorce_Men | 10/02/26 04:26 PM |
| 1 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend loves to talk shit and taunt.I’m fairly confident I could drop him but nothing is ever 100% certain. My kids are 15 and 13. I’d prefer not to get to that point but I’m wondering no matter how uncomfortable it would be it is something that just needs to be done so he gets the message. This man is 48 years old. He’s either trying to get me to attack him so he can cry like a little bitch that he’s the victim or he’s just that arrogant to act like he does. Not sure. This has been going on for over a year. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/01/26 01:45 PM |
| 1 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend loves to talk shit and taunt.That’s EXACTLY how he is and my kids hate it. I have tried to tell their mom to not let him be that way with our kids but she allows it and then proceeds to tell me to butt out when it comes to stuff at their home. To mind my own business and respect the boundaries. This ass clown is lucky he hasn’t gotten his jaw broken. | /r/Divorce_Men | 17/01/26 05:09 AM |
| 2 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend loves to talk shit and taunt.I think she ignores it because he has money. They built a custom $700k house. She’s ignoring tons of red flags. And I want him to go to jail for the illegal business to teach my teenage kids that doing illegal shit leads to jail time, not big money. Letting them live with a criminal is a horrible example. They know what he’s doing is illegal and that she doesn’t care because she got a big bougie house out of the deal. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/01/26 05:27 PM |
| 3 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend loves to talk shit and taunt.He likes to puff his chest and be loud. Calls me lazy and a bad father. Also that he is now with my ex and that she dumped me. He thinks it’s funny. I’ve ignored it, and he views this as weakness so he continues to pour it on like an eighth grade bully. I’m about to lose my shit and pummel him even though I know there would be consequences. | /r/Divorce_Men | 16/01/26 01:27 AM |
| 1 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend loves to talk shit and taunt.I’ve turned him in to the authorities and nothing has been done. Maybe I should contact a lawyer to see if we can take him out that way. I hate that my kids are seeing this clown make big money illegally, that’s a bad example. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/01/26 11:56 PM |
| 4 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend loves to talk shit and taunt.He shouldn’t even be helping to raise my child. That’s their mom’s job and my job. Not his. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/01/26 11:54 PM |
| 1 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend loves to talk shit and taunt.I tried being civil. He likes to puff his chest and be loud. He thinks it’s funny that he replaced me and has told me “That’s why she is with me now.” He has money from an illegal business. He’s arrogant and thinks he’s untouchable. I honestly think the only way he will figure it out is to get physically hit. | /r/Divorce_Men | 15/01/26 11:52 PM |
| 0 | Teenage kids don’t like taking orders from their mom’s fiance.13 and 15. And I tell them they have a say in their custody. They may not get what they want, but they do have the right to express their opinion on it. Also, they’ve been together for almost three years, he popped the question over Christmas. I’ve ignored a lot of stuff and probably should not have because my main fear was me losing my shit and beating him to a pulp, which would lead me to jail and losing custody. Think, then act. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/01/26 06:22 PM |
| -1 | Teenage kids don’t like taking orders from their mom’s fiance.My authority trumps her fiancé’s authority at all times and in all places. Their mom and I are equal, the fiancé is second tier. And the fiancé needs to respect that. I am the dad, he is not. Her fiance is an arrogant authoritarian tyrant who loves to puff his chest and get loud to show he’s the boss. He honestly needs his ass kicked but he’s not worth the consequences for me to do so. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/01/26 06:21 PM |
| 2 | Teenage kids don’t like taking orders from their mom’s fiance.I tried to talk to them. Both of them said that I have no say in what happens in their house and basically told me to get fucked. Their mom said since she granted him parental authority over our kids that he can yell and penalize them for their actions. My opinion is that all of that should be from her and her alone. The fiancé is a tyrant. He loves puffing his chest and showing he’s in charge. He’s tried yelling at me while we are all at my daughter’s open house because he wanted to show off. I… | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/01/26 10:44 AM |
| 2 | Teenage kids don’t like taking orders from their mom’s fiance.His mom allows her fiance to punish the kids. According to her she granted him parental authority in their house. And the house is owned by both of them, both names are on the deed. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/01/26 04:52 AM |
| 3 | Teenage kids don’t like taking orders from their mom’s fiance.Fuck that clown. He doesn’t run the show. I do. He’s not their dad. I am. | /r/Divorce_Men | 05/01/26 04:13 AM |

| 2 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend punishing my kids.And this guy has said “She and I are trying to fix what you’ve screwed up because you are worthless as a man and a father” to me. He’s fortunate that I think things through long term instead of just acting on my emotions. He’s not worth the consequences. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/25 05:52 PM |
| 1 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend punishing my kids.And I am worried long term about the consequences of this. Kids turn to “self medication” when they are dealing with issues. I don’t want that for my kids. I’ve seen people go down that rabbit hole and never come back out of it. It scares me to death. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/25 05:50 PM |
| 2 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend punishing my kids.I’ve been an adult about it. He’s like the eighth grade bully who’s never had his butt kicked for being a dick. As adults there are consequences for actions. And he’s not worth those consequences. He’s very fortunate I think things through long term and don’t just act on my emotions or what would feel good “in the now…” | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/25 05:48 PM |
| 4 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend punishing my kids.I tried that and they both shut that down. He said that he has the right to discipline my kids because he’s dating their mother. And it got HEATED. However I took the high road before anything went nuclear. I have clearances for my job, he’s not worth me losing them. And I can’t raise my kids in an orange jumpsuit. It’s about them, not about me. He’s fortunate that I think things through long term and don’t just act on emotion. I’ll leave it at that… | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/25 05:44 PM |
| 3 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend punishing my kids.It’s still an asshole way to be. I’ve gotten into one argument with him and he was smirking the entire time. My job requires clearances and he’s not worth me losing them. He’s an instigator and a tyrant, I’ve seen it and heard it. He loves being in charge and flexing that he is the boss. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/25 05:22 PM |
| 2 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend punishing my kids.The boyfriend loves power. He loves to flex that he is in charge. He laughs when he punishes them. He gets off on being in an authority position. I have to pretty much stay away from him because he’s not worth me losing my work clearances. He’s a tyrant and an asshole. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/25 05:10 PM |
| 0 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend punishing my kids.The boyfriend always likes to act like he’s boss. He has to flex like he thinks he is the alpha. He even smirks when he punishes them because it makes him feel like he’s in charge. He loves feeling powerful. Which in reality means he’s insecure. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/25 04:20 PM |
| 1 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend punishing my kids.The problem is that he is being a dick for the sake of being one. It makes him feel empowered and like an alpha. He’s nothing but a tyrant to my kids. That’s not being a good example for them. He gets off by being in charge. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/25 04:11 PM |

| 4 | Ex-wife’s boyfriend punishing my kids.No he is not. I’m the father. He’s the boyfriend. His punishment aren’t physical but he has a real short fuse and it doesn’t take much for him to punish them. He’ll ground them and take privileges/devices away. But he expects to be listened to and respected and will freak out if they don’t. He always has to show he’s the boss to everyone. Including me. I refuse to speak to him because we almost got into a huge brouhaha and I can’t risk that with my job. He’s a narcissist and an asshole. | /r/Divorce_Men | 06/08/25 02:36 PM |
