Newly separated - husband wants to take kid to new girlfriend house for the night

My husband and I separated 4 months ago and we are still living together. He started dating a girl 1.5 months ago and my 5 year old met her for the first time last week. He wants to take our kid to the new girlfriend's house to spend the night. I haven't met her yet.

What do you all think? I am still in two minds.

There is absolutely no need for it, you still live together. That's incredibly confusing for your child.

Hopefully the girlfriend is nice, but I do think it's odd to want your DD there when they've been dating a few weeks.

My guess is they have been together a while, it doesn't make sense otherwise.

@RedWingBoots I got divorced 5 years ago and she's still saying no. He's bounced around numerous girlfriends and fiancées since we split up and he always puts his latest one above the needs of his son.

Your solicitor isn't a judge so your child's father doesn't have to follow what she says even if he has had numerous "fiancées".

Likely because he is an a-hole other people around him have also told him not to introduce the child to his latest squeeze.

Big no for me.
Even the fact that your kid has met the new girlfriend after a month and a bit is iffy.
I didn’t introduce my DCs to my new DP until 6 months in, and even then, my exH (we are very amicable) met DP briefly before he met the DCs.
An overnight with a woman you’ve never met and so early into the new relationship would be a massive no from me.

Absolutely not! No way it's far too early!
