Hello,
I have been in a new relationship for 2 months (known each other for around 5 months). My partner is very keen for me to meet his daughter (6yrs). Although I would love to meet her I am very wary as her mum died 3 years ago now (my partner was still married to her) so I don't want to potentially develop a bond with her if the relationship won't last. Saying that, I know that my partner and I are 100% on the same page and are in the relationship for the long run, we spoke a lot before getting into a full blown relationship to make sure we both knew what we wanted but there's always a chance of a relationship not working out in any circumstance.
He is always saying that I am welcome to go to his at any time as we do find it difficult sometimes to get free time together when both of us don't have our kids. I have a 7yr old son, who does see his dad regularly but it's not to a schedule as his dad works shifts. I am not quite ready to introduce my son to new partner and his daughter and think we should all meet in a social environment when we are both ready. I am however considering talking to my son about my new partner and his daughter. Me and my son have a very strong bond as it's just been me and him for 3 years so I'm worried he may not take it well. I've focused all my time and energy on him in that time but I am happy that I have this new relationship, it feels right. So I suppose I'm asking what people's opinions are?
Thank you :)
