Any advice would be helpful please.

After 18 months of waiting my partners divorce has now come though !!!!! the settlement is sorted and so we are finally ready for me to meet his little boy (who is 5) - ive posted before about my resentment concerning why its all taken so long, but that?s a slightly different issue!!

The slight hiccup is that I have recently found out im pregnant so it is imperative that I meet his son asap and ease the relationship in as gradually as possible.

What im looking for is some advice over how we approach his ex - there are two issues, one that im on the scene and secondly that im expecting a baby !

My partner is not keen on telling his ex exactly how long we have been together?? (even though this was 6 months after he split from her) which is annoying me - I think he thinks she is going to make life really difficult and is trying to manipulate things to make them easier for her to swallow. Is this the best course of action ????

omg Congratulations tricks! followed your thread before.
It's really nothing to do with ex how long you've been together, wouldn't even raise it - the main point is to meet your little s-son
when are you due?
