Now Patricia, who is separated from her husband for more than a year and living apart from him, tells us that her soon-to-be-ex invited this woman and her daughter to dinner at his house recently. And the story is as follows:

"He had the kids for the weekend, so all five were at his house. After dinner, I spent an hour ‘IMing' with the kids before they came home and they told me that my girlfriend was at their dad's house for dinner.

My question to all of you: Is is fair for me to be upset with her for going over there? I don't want to get back with my ex but out of respect for me, I think she shouldn't have gone. On other occasions, my ex has had female employees to dinner at my house while I was away and sometimes calls our kids while women are laughing in the background.

Is he trying to push my buttons with this behavior? Am I being too sensitive? I confronted my girlfriend and told her that I would never have done this to another woman. She apologized and said that she just didn't think. She was thinking pretty clearly though when she didn't tell her boyfriend where she was.

Come on! Is that possible? I guess my real question is, why aren't women more supportive of each other? Given the opportunity for male company, more women tend to jump on the 'I need a man more than I need to take care of my female relationships' wagon.

I told my so-called girlfriend that more than anything, I want to be good to other women and show my daughter that girls need each other. She wasn't setting a good example for our daughters while she was entertaining my ex.

Please help... I would love to get your thoughts and those of your readers. Girlfriends united!"
