What is the problem?

Yep I've had yet another argument but this time I just think what's the point? I mean I think that every time and yet she gets back into my head and give it another go and things work for a few days, weeks and even months.
Tonight I got a text from my first ex wife asking if my son was calling her tonight. To me that's an innocent text with nothing to it but my current gf objects to this. She believes she texts me when she's bored or has no company and says that I should tell her to go away.
To me the text is harmless and yet as per every text it causes a big argument. Tonight I'm back on the sofa because I've had enough of it. I don't see her problem. She says she texts me constantly but there's been 20 texts since March mostly about my son.
I pointed out that when I was with my second wife she'd text 20 times a day. It put a strain on things so my wife at the time would reply instead and then she'd text her instead.
Yeah my first ex wife is a pain in the arse but it's not how it used to be. It certainly shouldn't be causing the all out war it has tonight. I just think what is the point and finally saying we're done. What do you think?

If your first ex wife is the mother of your son... then your girlfriend has to live with the fact that you are, and will continue to talk to her, whether she likes it or not. You have to keep things civil with her for the sake of the child that you share.

Your girlfriend needs to accept that your marriage to your first wife might be over - but she still has the right to whatever you both agreed on as far as contact with the child that you share goes.

As far as your second ex wife goes... I'm not sure that telling your girlfriend just how bad your first wife was with your second wife will make much of a difference - mostly because that's one of those things that you have to see to believe, and your girlfriend doesn't find seeing things from other people's angle the easiest thing to do at the best of times.

You'll know, deep down, when this relationship is over... though, I believe that, in your heart, you surpassed that point while your girlfriend was in hospital. You demonstrated that by the lengths you went to to get out of your relationship at that time. People don't usually go to those lengths for no reason.
