" My ex-husband has started bringing his girlfriend to our daughter&amp;#039;s high school swim meets. Although my daughter says she doesn&amp;#039;t mind, the woman&amp;#039;s presence makes me very uncomfortable. Shouldn&amp;#039;t he, out of respect for me, keep her away from public gatherings where he knows I&amp;#039;ll be? If your breakup is a recent or acrimonious one, your wanting to maintain a certain distance is understandable. In that case, perhaps you and your ex-husband could arrange to go to alternate swim meets. But you can&amp;#039;t escape him or the girlfriend forever: When you all live in the same town, running into one another is going to happen sooner or later -- if not at your daughter&amp;#039;s high school, then in a store or a restaurant. And to look at the situation from his point of view, it&amp;#039;s only natural that he would want a girlfriend, particularly one he&amp;#039;s getting serious about, to take an interest in his daughter&amp;#039;s activities. Because it isn&amp;#039;t quite fair to expect a &amp;quot;keep away&amp;quot; arrangement to go on forever, you can simply hope that this won&amp;#039;t be such a difficult matter for you as time goes by.
