Introducing a new partner to your children

[Brandon05]

Me and my husband have been separated 8 months now..he is wanted our son to meet his new girlfriend who hes only been with for 3 months..i have said when hes serious and been with her a year then he can introduce our son to her..he thinks im being bitter and awkward..my children havent meet my new partner and they will not until ive also been with him a year..am i being unreasonable

You're not at all unreasonable. He's only been with the woman for three months and it might not last in which case he'll then be introducing his children to the next one.....then the next one. "Dad's latest" will be the phrase of the month.

I don't understand why he is so keen to do it or why she wants to so soon. The pair of them are still getting to know each other.

Im so glade u agree with me i was starting to think i was in the wrong...he has been around her child since day one...i have been with my new partner for a month and u wouldnt dream of wanting to meet his kids yet.. x

Yes because it’s not your decision. It’s his.

It's his decision not yours.

You sound controlling.

It's his decision not yours and depends so much on the stage of their relationship, after 3 months done people are just casually dating still, for others it's obvious this is for the long term. I knew after a couple of dates dp was the one, it's 5 months now and feels like it's been always ... my kids met him after 6 weeks

Its our child and we both agreed a year befor we got in relationships now its changed on his part..im not controlling anything im simply putting my children befor anthing and anyone

It's not ideal but what can you do? Did he ask you or tell you?

Well it sure does sound like you are trying to control his relationship. You know nothing about it. He does.
