Found out through my daughter that my ex has been introducing my kids to her new boyfriend after like 3 months of dating. I get she can date whoever she wants but my kids are meeting some random dude without any heads up to me. Should I care about this? Part of me wants to say something but I don't know if I have a leg to stand on legally. What have other guys done here?
I get why you're frustrated, but going down the road of controlling who she dates rarely ends well. Better to focus on being the solid, reliable parent on your end and let your kids figure out their own relationships with her boyfriend.
That's a tough spot. I'd say the key is picking your battles and staying focused on what's best for your kids. Three months is pretty quick to introduce them to someone, but how you handle it matters more than being right about it. Keep the co-parenting lines open.
That's rough man. I'd definitely want to have a conversation with your ex about this before the kids get more attached. You have the right to know who's in their life like that. Stay calm when you talk to her though, it'll go better.
Sign in to join the conversation.
Finding out through your daughter is the worst way to hear about it. You guys need to establish some ground rules about introducing new people to the kids. Doesn't have to be hostile, just clear expectations.
This is a tough spot. How old are your kids? That changes how I'd approach the conversation. Younger kids probably shouldn't meet new partners too early anyway.
