Boyfriend’s ex is coming to party- normal

[Anonymous]

I’ve been dating a guy for 5 months. He broke up with his ex 6 months ago, and they share a 4yo son.

Boyfriend mentioned that his family friend is throwing a pool party next weekend, and his ex will be bringing his son to the party. I have plans, but was not invited (and didn’t expect to be).

Do I have any reason to feel weird about this? Or is this a normal thing?

He has a child with this person and they'd only been broken up for a month when you two started dating? Since you asked, I would not be surprised if your relationship doesn't last.

No siree bob! That is not appropriate. Ex needs to mind her own beeswax

1. He will see her all the time; they have a kid together. There's nothing wrong with that. But also:
2. He started dating you a month after he broke up with the mother of his child; you two will not last.

Normal. The friend is probably also friends with the ex and child.

BUT huge red flag that he started dating you one month after he broke up with the mother of his child. You’re a rebound.

No. It's normal for them.

If I were you, I would keep the relationship casual. Too much baggage.

It’s very normal and a sign of two people who are acting like mature adults and putting their child first imo.

Normal, she’s not going anywhere

For everyone saying their relationship is too soon, does it make a difference if there was the year separation period? I think it does.

What's this about? If you've been dating for months why wouldn't you expect to be welcome at a casual backyard party that he's invited to? Is the concern that if the ex is there you can't be, and vice versa? Or are you not really included in his friend group because they want the exes to get back together? Or. . . what?

The ex/mother of his kid being there isn't weird (and if you can't get comfortable with them seeing each other you should move on. Kid comes first). You being excluded sends up more of a red flag than her being included.

We all just going to gloss over this? Because this is weird. I realize it's important to get in and start lecturing the OP as soon as possible but that's kind of a big thing.

Entering a relationship with someone who has a child (or children) with another person is entering into a relationship threesome. That other person will ALWAYS be a part of picture. You are either OK with that or you don't go down that road at all.
