writes:Guy I’m dating is going on a three hour car ride with his ex-wife to help pick up her grandson’s car one and a half hours each way that’s his paying for it. I have a grandson as if he were going on. Obviously the grandson is driving the car back so I’ll be alone in his truck on the way back. Should I be annoyed or jealous?

He cosigned for the first one and totaled it. So he found another car 1 1/2 hours away and asked if he would come along to look at it even though he wasn't cosigning for this one. He lives with his grandmother (the ex wife). She came along as well because she cosigned for the loan this time. I didn't think it was necessary for him to go but I understand he was helping the kid. Also, when I called him that evening, she (ex) picked up the phone because they were still driving back and it rang through her blue tooth. Even though she could clearly see it was me, he said,"xxxx" wanted to say hello.

However, we stay in separate rooms and I have no intention of rekindling our relationship. I simply want to create a relaxed environment for our son. Currently, neither of us are dating anyone, but going out for family dinners or trips should not be misconstrued as anything more than co-parenting. Once my son goes to college next year, I plan to start dating again. It's been 10 years since my divorce, so please understand that I am not emotionally attached to my ex. It's common for divorced parents to maintain some level of interaction with their exes when children are involved, so it's not possible to completely eliminate their presence.

To answer your question, you probably have no cause to be jealous but it depends on the dynamic. Are they close still? Do they see each other often? Have they been split for long? Too little information to go on.
Personally I don't see a reason why they need to be in the car together for 1.5hrs so would question it in any event.
