Real talk: What kind of relationship is this if they only see each other a few times a year?  What's the point of putting your sons into this situation?  Are you planning to get married to this guy?  Why do you care if your son spends time with these children?

Is it in your children's best interest to press this issue with your ex and make things awkward, or is it more about your best interest?  Yes, it's your time apparently, and yes you've accepted a new partner on his end, but still, if it makes life complicated your children will notice and they won't be happy about it.[/quote]

We are in an LDR. The kids were friends when they were younger before they moved away. They only see each other a few times a year either when they all come into town or we have gone on vacay once or twice with them. This is a committed relationship and 'serious' but no plans to marry because it is LDR and I do not want to be married right now. I would say this is quasi-family.

In my opinion (biased) ds will have more fun with bf doing our plans. And yes it is my interest because it furthers the relationship with all of us, but ds also benefits. [/quote]

How exactly does your DS benefit?  Does he really love your BF that much?  Is it worth the tradeoff of awkwardness with his father?

I really think you are looking with your me-goggles on.[/quote]
