I like her and have gifted numerous engagement presents, housewarming gifts and a wedding present throughout the course of the last ten years, and celebrated them all with her.

Her last relationship (the marriage), lasted two years and included an egagement, wedding and birth of their son.

Following their split, she has now fallen head over heels with another man, and within a matter of weeks, it seems it has got quite intense. She comments that he is The Special Man in her and her DSs life, that she has never known true live til.now.

Its what we have all heard before!

As a grown woman, she can, frankly, do what the fuck she likes, however the fact that this new man is now part of her sons life.... how his dad would feel at hearing another man being referred to as 'the special man in Xs life' after a matter of weeks (under two months).

Now she wants a big familtly dinner to welcome.him.
I sort of know IABU at judging her relationship with him but at the same time cannot get past the fact that she is involving her son so soon.

I.know there are people out there who fall fast and hard for others, and prior to the birth of X, I wouldnt give a hoot - he stands to get hurt along with her if this fails.

All that FB shite makes my minge twinge and not in a good way.

You have to go, I think you're right re introducing him to her son so early isn't a great idea but its not your business. If this relationship goes tits then your only job is to be there for her & your nephew.

Oh bless her, she hasn't become cynical and bitter, she picks herself up and has another go and finding happiness,

She may be right and this is a decent person who she will be able to build a life with, or it may not,

I would be as lovely and welcoming to this person as possible, because if it does work out, you have got off to the best start,

if it's not the one, then all you have invested is meeting someone new, hardly a big dent in the generosity bank.
