Hello! I'm new here...just wanted opinions of other single parents on how to handle this situation :-)
I've been separated from my husband of 15 years for about 7 months. He told me he had met someone and started seeing her before he had even officially moved out. We have 4 kids, ages 15, 14, 12 and 7. They were devastated and wanted nothing to do with his girlfriend even though he was pushing them to meet her after only a couple of weeks of moving out. that relationship ended after a few months. A couple of weeks later...he had a new girlfriend. He hardly sees his kids at all, popping in only when its convenient for him. He doesn't show up when he says he will,and so far had paid zero child support. Basically, the kids are still getting used to the idea of him not living here, and obviously to the fact that he is on his second girlfriend in 7 months. Just wondering what others think is an appropriate amount of time before introducing a new partner? I'm uncomfortable with the idea right now, I don't feel its appropriate to introduce your kids to someone you've only been seeing for a couple of months. His girlfriend has 5 kids under the age of 9. She has allowed him to stay overnight there since day one..and that blows my mind.Am I completely wrong to think its inappropriate when there are kids involved??
