I need some advice.
My ex and I separated over a year ago. We currently have a week on/week off arrangement for our two girls, ages 4 and 6. I have recently introduced them to my new boyfriend (about a month ago). He sometimes joins us for events (ie: swimming/dinner, etc) but does not stay over when they are there.
The girls recently told their father about my bf. My ex mentioned yesterday that I should have told him I was seeing someone. We do NOT get along. We separated because we couldn't communicate and things have not gotten better. I feel like it's not really any of his business. The guy isn't moving in with me and we've only been dating for a few months. I don't think I should have to tell my ex every time I date someone.
I'm not sure, how to handle this situation. Should I ask my bf not to come around when I have the girls? When is it appropriate to introduce them to someone? Should they know that mommy is going to have a bf?
Anyone have any experience with this or recommendations on how to handle a new partner??
Thanks so much.
