Hello, I've been seeing a new man for a while. He has two small children with his on/off ex age 2 and 5. They haven't been together for just over a year.
Need advice/perspective really on this.
They speak on the phone almost every day, sometimes more than once. It's about 50/50 of him ringing her and her ringing him, leaning towards him ringing her more. We have the children all weekend but they will still speak when the children are here and in the evening when the children are in bed so he isn't ringing to speak to his daughters. He will ring her to ask her which leggings match what top for dd's, I've bought dd a new toy, general stuff about the children but not stuff I would think justifys a phone call. But then he will also talk to her about places we have been together without the children, where we are going on holiday together etc.
They often argue too. I would say heated discussions, disagreements happen a couple of times of week.
I guess my question is, am I being a bit jealous and should be glad he's so involved with his children or am I right to be weary of the amount of contact and especially nervy about the arguing possibly being unfinished business?
