[quote=Anonymous]My boyfriend and I have been together for several years and have a toddler together. Prior to our relationship, he was with another woman and had a child with her as well. After he began his relationship with me, his ex got upset and did a lot of hurtful things to him (wouldn't let him see his child, tried to get him incarcerated, etc.) As of the past few years, he has been able to see his child more, but she is still stuck on their break up that happened years ago. The two of them do not talk often (only when they are exchanging the child) but when they do speak, it's always about me and how she doesn't like me and how she doesn't want him with me, etc. She said that she wants them to spend more time together with their child, but she has also said that she wants him back and essentially wants me and my child with him to disappear. He wants to spend more time with his child with her, so he brought up the idea that he would ask her if the two of them and their child could set up a weekly thing where they hang out, go grab something to eat, ice cream, chuck e cheese, things like that. I'm not sure how to feel about that. He says all the time that he doesn't want her and just wants his child to be able to spend time with both parents together. I was raised by both of my parents who are married, so I don't have experience in this area. Is it normal for two parents to hang out together with their child, when one of the parents is in a relationship/marriage? I feel uncomfortable about it, because she has a clear motive of trying to get him back. I'm not sure how I should feel. I want to make sure that everything is done in the best interest of the children, but I need some input.
