[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband's ex-wife can do annoying things (I mean, can't we all) but oh well. He's not really offering you a choice here. He can minimize his interactions with the ex as much as possible and let you and ex handle the parenting stuff (frankly, he should do that anyway) but it's not like your ex is never not going to be around in some capacity. I don't know what he wants or expects to happen here.

Either he can be a big boy and cope, or he can't. Nothing you can do about it, this is all on him. Kinda weird he's this obsessed by your ex though.[/quote]

I suspect she is allowing the ex way too much access.   Not uncommon for people to do this, then down the road wonder why they keep getting dumped.[/quote]

Because kids come first, and kids need their parents to have a functional relationship.  It sounds like OP and her ex have a decent coparenting relationship.  Why would OP ruin that for an immature guy.[/quote]

No kids don't always get to come first, or get what they want.  Usually they want mom and dad to stay together, but that can't happen.  Kids learn quick there are different rules in different houses, be it dad's or mom's and new boyfriend.  The exe's shouldn't be bad mouthing each other, and child visits should be encouraged.  Aside from that it can work well with mom and dad having their own separate lives.  Many do and it creates less stress when there isn't any fighting or animosity.

If OP is certain he is the one then living together for a little bit would be fine, if she has some doubts then maybe keeping separate homes would be best.  If her ex husband is indeed creating problems then OP needs to nip it because she encounter the same reaction from the next relationship.  Drama gets old.[/quote]
