[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the custody split?[/quote]

I have our child during the week,  and he has our child every weekend. [/quote]

OP, I feel for you. I had the same script happen except that 2/3 through divorce he saw that he didn't ever want the twu-vuv and begged me to take him back. I didn't but faked to give it a think over. Then he ended with OW and told her that he wanted to be with me. So that's about the best chance of getting her to not be with your teen.

You already told your teen that he had girlfriends. She's going to get it and hold OW responsible. Let her handle it.

I have the same custody agreement as you. All my female friends, his bro and best mates laughed their heads off as he clearly ruined his chances for a relationship. Leave the agreement as it is. Can you even imagine having to work all week and having ALL weekend couple time with a grumpy teenager?! Men tend to spoil the children out of guilt and the OW ends up frustrated about loosing her centrality.

I have female friends without children (not OW) with partners who have their kids every 2nd weekend and I hear nothing but complaints. They stay friendly with the kids because it's what they signed up for but on a regular basis they ask me whether they should finally break up. This has especially been true for the ones with partners with teens. My friends tell me, it was fine when they were little and eager to please. Now when they talk about them it's often short of name-calling.

Finally, your daughter will have a say probably at 14.. I don't think anyone can force a teen to visit when they don't want to.

In the meantime (after Covid) use those weekends to go out and build up a great social life. I did this (pre Covid) and also met my boyfriend. Now I have a nice new relationship I lead on the weekends. I clearly prefer that to bringing a new relationship onto a child,let alone moving a stranger in. Your child will value you for acting sane in that way later in life.[/quote]
