New girlfriend meeting the kids soon
Got a new partner and things are getting serious. Kids are 5 and 8, and my ex is already losing her mind about it even though she's had her boyfriend around for a year. I want to introduce her gradually but my ex is acting like I'm going to traumatize them. How do you guys navigate this? I don't think I need her permission but also don't want drama affecting the kids. What's reasonable here?
Man, the double standard is real. My ex did the same thing when I started dating again, but honestly just keep things low-key at first and don't let her drama stress you out. Your kids will adjust fine.
