Back in Jan 2023 I received a email from my ex husband asking if he could have the children for the day on the 1st of September until 7.30pm for a family event. I agreed no problems. However a few weeks ago I was running late for our scheduled times and the children were late returning back to him (motorway traffic after being away for 5 days) he refused to take them back and said I had to return them the next morning as 7.30pm was too late to drop them off, I was annoyed as I had work but fine.

Yesterday i got a message asking if i could pick the children up from a certain hotel on friday. I agreed, ( its not far and its not an issue)I found out the “family event” is infact his wedding through the grapevine. I don’t want to collect the children, in fact I don’t want them back that friday at all, I would of been completely blindsided, I’ve told him I’m not having the children back now and il happily collect them the Saturday. We’ll of course his hit the roof and saying I’m going back in my word. AITA for not wanting the children back.

BTW he had an affair with this woman and absolutely treated me so awful after I found out and I’ve always backed down to him for an easy life, but don’t see why I should on this occasion.
