Hello everyone,
Firstly, apologies for the life story that’s about to follow…
I have DS who is now 2 with my ex. We were together for four years when I got pregnant and then when I was 5 months pregnant, long story short, it came out that my ex had been sexting with a man online. He was blackmailed for £2000. Intimate pictures were sent from this man (if it really was a man) to my ex’s mum and his friends. Being five months pregnant and terrified, I stayed with him. Before this point, he’d never mentioned an interest to anyone in men.
Fast forward to my son being 8 months old and it all comes out that my ex has kissed another woman at his work, potentially touched her intimately (although he’s never admitted to this), been messaging her inappropriately and has been having an emotional affair with yet another woman at his work. He was suspended from work whilst an investigation was completed as the first woman accused him of touching her without consent. I ended the relationship. He’s now back at work as no evidence was found.
Now, he and I are in new relationships. Mine is quite new and his will be a year in October. He has told me that him and his new girlfriend are moving in together in October. His new partner has a daughter, quite a few years older than my DS.
My ex has told me that his new girlfriend doesn’t know everything about his past. I wouldn’t care because it’s her mistake to make being with him, but now that my son is involved, it’s making me uneasy. I feel as though the truth will out eventually and she might then end the relationship. Or, considering my ex’s track record, he will cheat on her. This will present confusion for DS and presumably, a house move, severing a relationship that he might build with the new girlfriend and her daughter etc. It just seems doomed to fail and I’m uncomfortable with it all.
Thoughts?
