to ask my ex not to introduce our 5 year old to the OW?

In March I found out my DH was seeing another woman. He left me and my son in our family home, from which we have since moved out to start again. It has been an upheaval to say the least. DH has agreed to a divorce in which I can state adultery as the reason. I have been reasonable throughout this upsetting time, asking only that DH talk to me before introducing DS to the OW. I have since found out that DH and DS 'bumped into' OW whilst in town. Since then, DH wants to accelerate DS' relationship with OW, against my wishes. I am fraught that DS is already going under a massive period of upsetting change and just want DH to make this transition gradual. He is very much against the idea and has called me controlling and threatened court action. AIBU to expect after everything that's happened, he acts with a little sensitivity towards me and DS here?? Do I have any legal rights? Thank you MN.

I actually think it is in the best interests of the kids to keep them as far away from morally bankrupt cnuts as possible. The condoning of this, don't be bitter, etc etc is what keeps the cycle going. Society says this is ok and it's just not.

And there's no OW in my or the kids lives so I'm not invested in this at all. But I've seen friends have to smile at their kidsxweddingvwhilsg the tart is their with the half siblings and it's bloody horrible for them especially if they haven't met someone else due to you know raising his kids single handily

He is being unreasonable but you can't legally stop him introducing them.

Have had similar situation this year with ex and new girlfriend. Although she was not ow they met quite quickly after we split at beginning of the year.

Knowing I couldn't prevent the meeting, I asked ex to introduce her as a friend not a girlfriend. My 7 year old is not stupid but I think it's best not to act overtly like a couple in front of the kids.

I am seeing someone else now but have chosen not to introduce because actually I don't think it's appropriate.
