Jealous bf over co parenting

38 replies

Juls888 · 21/05/2024 04:25

I was with my childs father for 10 years and have been separated for three. We have a 5 year old, my daughters dad lives in a different country so when we separated we still done things together as a family and when he came here, he stayed in the house as I personally think that's better for my daughter, her father also has no family or friends here. Since meeting my bf ive stopped doing the family things for his sake, stopped her father staying, which now my daughter also has to stay in a hotel. I understand my bfs points and feelings but I feel like he's constantly nit picking.now it was a problem I went into the hotel to drop my daughter off.he is forever bad mouthing him,even though they are yet to meet .Her father and I get on well and he has always said he is not interested in my love life as that's my business and his is nothing to do with me and that's how him and I have been since. My boyfriend is making more demands that I must tell my childs father about us, which I actually have, with his response just being "okay then".My daughter wants her dad and I to do things with her still and often gets upset. I really don't know what to do. My bf is quite jealous over many other things not relating to this and I just don't want him making my co parenting difficult as I feel that's where it's heading.
I am going away soon on a holiday and it would be easier for me for her father to come and stay here, take her to school etc and I wouldn't be around anyway but I have also had to not allow that for the sake of my bf and get other care for her. Please advise as I am unsure on what to do

Tbh I wouldn't want my ex in my house and neither would my bf. Why would you do stuff with your ex. Your daughter has dad days and mum days?

I'm sorry you don't get on with your ex. Luckily the op does, so what someone does who has an acrimonious split, isn't relevant.

He's detrimental you your and your daughter's well being.
The longer you allow this to go on, the worse it'll get.
Get rid and go back to enjoying your family life.

I wouldn’t want my ex at my house this is completely irrelevant .

They are co parenting well . Why not stay when she isn’t there ? The parents are acting in the best interests of the child .

Op the fact you deleted s. Media - you can’t see his .

The accusations of cheating , no s media , he won’t want you going anywhere with friends he wants to control you .

dump him you and your Dd deserve better

The more you tell us about your BF the worse he sounds.
It's been on and off for two years and it's not getting any better, the reverse in fact.
I hope counselling will help you to see this and find a way out of this relationship, it sounds unhealthy.
Take care.

You don't need to justify why you have this arrangement. If it has previously worked for you and for him and for your DC, that is all that counts.

Please, instead, focus on the many answers on this thread that have told you that your BF is a controlling ass who seems to think he gets a say when he doesn't. He is jealous and restricts your life in many many ways. Get rid.

Agree with PP: your BF is very bad news. He’s abusive. He’s constricting your life. A healthy partner doesn’t require you to come off social media; he doesn’t accuse you of cheating. He’s trying to make your life all about him and pleasing him. He’s trying to make you small. You need to get rid of him. It will only get worse.

Your child comes first. Her needs trump his.
If he doesn't get that now, this isn't going to work out for you. There's plenty of threads in here that will demonstrate that clearly.

IHateLegDay · 26/05/2024 09:59

Don't teach your child that this kind of relationship is healthy. It's damaging...not only for you but for her as well.
For gods sake, put your child first and break up with this vile man child.

Temporaryname158 · 26/05/2024 10:06

Please dump him, his actions are abusive and it isn’t normal to acuse someone of cheating, stop so ial media etc.

He sounds the type to tread all over you boundaries so dump him by text and inform his you aren’t comfortable and want no further contact with him. Be very clear on that and contact the police if he continues to harass you.

and please note, he will spoil your holiday with friends via accusations of cheating, strops whilst you are away, tears and tantrums, unkind words such as look who is the priority, obviously isn’t me etc - dump him before you go

rainbowstardrops · 26/05/2024 10:11

Put your child first. It sounds like you have a good co-parenting relationship with the dad, so don't let dickhead boyfriend spoil that.

Inspireme2 · 26/05/2024 10:14

Why did you delete social media for him?
Put yourself and your daughters needs above his insecurities.
Ask him what his problem is, and this is the way it is.

ChangeAgain2 · 26/05/2024 10:16

Dump the BF. He's jealous and controlling.
