Venting here to avoid drama

My XH left today for a 2 week vacation in Hawaii with his GF. I calmly agreed to keep our DS on his days earlier this week so he could pack, and because he wanted to hang out with his friends before he left. And I side eyed but agreed to keep DS even after he gets back because he wants to "enjoy" the rest of his vacation. I mean sure I don't get a break from two kids but I'd rather have my son than not and that means I'll have him for a month straight.
And I calmly declined to offer advice on where to take his GF diving after he paid for her to take the classes and get certified. And I calmly declined to loan him my carry on luggage for his GF especially since it's the one piece of luggage I kept when he took the other 5 bags.
But wtf is he thinking when he starts texting me about the fun they're having! Except this one restaurant I loved which sucks apparently. I wanted to send him a b!tchy reply that maybe it's not the restaurant it's your high maintenance GF! And shut up about your vacation! It's not like I didn't mention before he left that it was a little rude to keep talking about it when I won't be able to take a vacation for years.
I'll give him this though. When I said the above his response was "oh! You should come with us next year!" Great!
Thanks if you made it this far! I've had to stop venting to my mom because she can't be civil to XH when I tell her stuff.

This. If he's just trying to make you jealous then ignore him. If he really is, like PP said, a nimrod then I would a face palm and b explain to him that you're glad he's having a great time, but that he doesn't need to keep you up to date about his vacation. If you send that via text then it's all said and done, If it's done via phone then be snarky. I would
hahaha....do it..that would be entertaining for you!
That's just bizarre. Sounds like he's trying to glamorize the past to deal with the split. I would just continue to enforce that you guys can try to maintain a cordial "friendly" relationship but role of best-friend needs to be filled by someone else.
Do you think he's trying to put on a show to his gf of how positive his past relationship ended? Doesn't most people want to see that their bf/DH has a good relationship with an ex, assuming jealousy isn't an issue? So perhaps he's trying to put on a bigger show for her. Still weird.
Go away, AE. Why the SP board? I get it's all funny ha-ha on the AP board, but why here? Ya weirdo.
LOL. Come out from behind the mask and we can talk about your issues.
