Hi there, I am new here and wondered if you could tell me if you think I am being weird or unreasonable?
Long story short. I was with my ex for two years. He has kids and so do I as were were both married to other people once. His ex wife has 3 kids to her new partner and his own children stay half the week with their mum and half with him, their dad, so they see plenty of their half siblings.
My problem is I feel guilty for feeling the situation is too weird. My partner will go up and take his ex-wife's kids out and let them stay for weekends with his own kids! (Ex wife's new partner still lives with her so the kids do have a mum and dad at home lol) He says he is fond of them and they are his kids' half siblings, which I understand....but his kids live half the week with them! We split a few years ago because of this and other things so when he recently asked me out again, I thought he had stopped doing this. I find it very bizzare and odd. Today I learned he is picking his ex's kids up to go to a play area. His own kids are too old for this so won't be there.
Am I the one who is strange for thinking this is very weird? He says he feels sorry for them, but they have a mum and dad. Tonight his own kids and their half siblings will all sleep at his house. He is a good person but I became ill due to the stress of it all before and am wary of getting involved again. Some of his own kids are now adults. He says his ex's kids are cute, funny and he is fond of them. They call him "uncle"......please tell me, is it just me?! Lol. I have a decision to make regarding my future with this man. I don't feel his ex-wife's new children should be staying in his house or going on day trips with him (different if his kids did not see them at all, maybe). Please help!!! 😱😢😒
