Recently separated. We were together 8 years. Within 6 weeks of us officially separating, my ex found a single mom who lives in his new neighborhood. Within 3 weeks of meeting her, they had a literal full day “play date” with the kids- carpooling to church, lunch, amusement park, water balloons, car wash, dinner. He even felt comfortable enough with this person to send our 6 year old alone with her in the car to get food.
He claims they are just friends but they spend way too much time together for that. Now he is a very social person and has a lot of female friends. A long day together with a close friend- I could see. This is not behavior tho for someone you just met.
It has now been a month with no sign of it slowing down. The past 5x my kid has gone over there her time with dad has been also with this woman and her kid-all time except bed. He’s cooking and they are eating together. They are going to church together.
They also talk and apparently hang out outside of the kids. To my knowledge it’s been sporting events with other people but they are carpooling to that as well.
I’m concerned my child bc it’s made her uncomfortable and she wants time alone with her dad. He’s still adamant they are seeing each other-just friends (for now). But he clearly dove into this rebound friendship hard. I’m worried it’s going to turn into dating really soon and my kid is not ready for that.
They have a lot in common, shared interests, both social and spontaneous people.
