How does your BPD partner deal with your ex?

I've read so much on these boards about BPD partners accusing of us still having feelings about ex's. I know mine was obsessed with the notion I was still in love with my ex!
I was no longer in contact with any of my ex's & it still caused me huge arguments & sometimes even put me on the end of rages.
For those who are in a relationship with BPD s/o and co-parenting with an ex from a previous relationship, how does the BPD cope with you having contact with your child's other parent?

At first I was accused of all sorts of stuff. Then it simply became rages that my sons mom controlled me. And finally after 3 years was not an issue. Though she still accused me of wanting to have sex with all my friends wives. My sons mom had her house broken into about 6 months ago and called int the middle of the night in a panic and wanted to come to my house because she was scared. I was ready for hell fire and brimstone when I told my gf that she had spent the night on the couch, but to my surprise she said that was very kind of me. Go figure.

My uBPD g/f refused to even acknowledge that my ex-wife and I were divorced an always refer to my ex as my "wife" until I seriously checked the hit out of her. I explained that while you're still married (she was married/separated for four of our five year relationship), I went through and paid a LOT for my divorce and the right to refer to her as my EX-WIFE. Still to this day, she will never mention her, even though my ex-wife is essentially dying of stage 4 cancer and my sons and I are coping with it. Never asked if my boys were alright, how's she doing, nothing! I even explained my frustration and her response, was basically, "why should she care?" I explained that if my ex were to pass away, she would be the closest mother-figure to my boys. She seemed to understand, however has not mentioned anything else about it.

Mine didn't want to know anything. I'm the sort of person who will openly tell if asked, but leave it up to them if they want to know... . So she never asked, so I never told. I don't have keep things from exes, so she never new anything... .
Her on the other hand, loved talking about her exes. It was at one point a favorite topic

Mine has never said anything much about my ex until yesterday. I got up and wanted to take a shower. My ex was picking my daughter up at 1. My uBPDh told me I didn't need a shower yet, I had just gotten up (WTH? I always shower and dress when I get up, I can't stand being in my pajamas all day). He said why do you want to shower so badly? So you can look good when he comes to pick up D9? I was like... . what? I just said nevermind and went into the kitchen. He rode my a$$ all morning and completely freaked out on me by last night. I had to sleep in my daughter's bed, she stayed all night across the street at me best friend's house. He was hateful this morning... . oh well.
