A woman recently moved in with her boyfriend, and they decided to redecorate their apartment to make it their own. As part of the redecoration process, the woman decided to hang a photo of her, her daughter, and her boyfriend in the living room. However, when her ex-husband came to pick up their daughter, he noticed the photos and got upset. He called the woman later that night and ranted about how disrespectful it was to have a family-style photo without him in it, and how it could negatively affect their daughter’s relationship with him. He wanted the woman to remove the photos or add a photo with the three of them, but she refused. Now she’s wondering if she’s in the wrong. What do you think? Check out the full story here.
