Is it strange to take new boyfriend to somewhere I went with ex?

[justanothermanicmonday21]

So casually browsing through weekend breaks on booking and a place I have been to with the ex and children (their dad) before came up with a ridiculously cheap deal think 1/4 of the normal price. Its great for the kids think centre parks type holiday and normally very expensive and I've managed to get the lodge cheaper than we camped all those years ago! I just booked it and didn't really think until after it might be strange going there with new bf. Especially since the kids will most probably say they have been there before etc. Is it weird to ask new bf along? I guess I would go regardless tbh as it's such a great deal and I can't really afford another holiday this year as like I said most are about 4 times the price even in uk. Although if I go anyway he might be a bit upset? Just wanted to see if you guys think IABU. I wouldn't of gone had it if not been a holiday for the kids. It was about 6 years ago I went with ex and been with new bf 2 years now.

I would possibly say it was odd if it was your honeymoon venue or somewhere you went every year like a tradition, a random place you happened to go is fine.

If you are comfortable and like somewhere, and the kids do too, then its fine. Tell your new fella you have been there before with ex....be transparent.

I think if you still lived in the same area it would be difficult to not go to places you had been to with an ex.

no it should be fine my current OH and i have been to places he went with his Ex and places i went to with mine we just do different type of holiday to what we did with them because we are different people in this relationship

It's fine. I actually did go on a honeymoon with DH to a destination he had been to with his ex. It was perfect, exactly what we both wanted to do as a new couple. It didn't bother me a bit. He chose to marry me, not her.

Just tell him but a good holiday deal is hard to find just now so enjoy

I'd go and I wouldn't be bothered if someone had took their ex. Surely it would just mean they'd enjoyed it there because it was a nice place

I dont think its odd for you if you are open about it and give him the option to go or not. My slime ball ex took me somewhere he had taken the woman he cheated on me with. I obv didn't know this until after. I did think that was an exceptionally odd thing to do but then he was an exceptionally deceptive git.

Oh gosh no it's just somewhere we randomly went one year, not a reoccurring place! I still live in the same area so we do eat out etc at places I would of been with ex before, new boyfriend has moved since he split with his ex but does still go to places when he has his kids and Im sure we've been to loads of the same places with both sets of children! Glad it's not strange, I'd be a bit gutted to miss out the kids will have so much fun!

I've been a few times to the same Centerparcs that DH and his ex and DC went to, can't say it's something I feel bothered by as we're not replicating the experience DH had there with his family. I avoid destinations they went to for romantic breaks as just the two of them though, there's loads of other places to choose from for a couples break so might as well go somewhere new.
