Some background
I was married to my ex June 2002 and we separated July 2010.
Our divorce was finalized December 2011.
We have an informal agreement regarding our son.
At present our son will stay with me until my ex is settled then we will move to 50/50 1 week on/1 week off
We only recently spoke to our s7 about the divorce because my ex was still living in the home and we didn't want to confuse him. So my ex will be moving out in a week (thank goodness).
My dilemma
I met my current boyfriend 6 months after my separation and he and I have been together for a year and a few months. He and I are quite serious and plan to marry/have kids in the future. The issue is that because my ex was still living with me during this time, I did not want to introduce my beau to s7. I didn't want to confuse him.
My boyfriend is a big part of my life and I want to share that with s7 but want to go about it the right way. My boyfriend and I are also quite anxious to start our lives together ie. him moving in with us.
So my question is:
How should I go about introducing them and allowing them to build a relationship? How long should we wait before moving in together?
S7 is very important to me and I want to do this so that he remains comfortable/doesn't feel threatened.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
