Hi Everybody
I'm writing this in general chat because I'm interested in what people think and basically talk about it.
I'm separated, for 4 years, with 2 kids (11 and 9). Custody and financial negotiated between us (no legal) with week on/week off and no support either direction. I've been dating someone for 2 years now though her involvement with the kids is few and far between - my time with the kids is with the kids and she respects that (she also likes her week without me around!).
My ex has asked a few times in the past to meet her. Initially, she asked out of anger when I first told her about the new situation, but now she is asking again because we are going on a trip and she says she has a right to know who is spending time with "her" kids.
She has a boyfriend (I have not met him) of 6 or 7 months. He spends time with the kids and such, and I have no problems with that. I have no need or feelings that I should meet him - he sounds like a decent guy and I leave it at that.
My girlfriend does not want to be "judged" or felt like she is to be accepted or rejected by my ex. I agree, and feel that there really isn't any need for them to meet unless we happen to decide to move in together.
Thoughts?
