contact with my ex/new boyfriend dilemma. Wwyd?

[Ouchbloodyouch]

Hi. My ex and I jointly own a business. I've recently met someone else and its going swimmingly but I do need to sort out legalities with my ex and sign over bits and pieces.
I do not want to go behind my new boyfriends back and say nothing. What would you do in this situation?
I appreciate that I could just say 'I spoke to x today and we are meeting on Thursday to sign x,y,z' would you like to come along and say hello?

Why can't you tell him that you own a business with your ex and need to meet to sort out the legalities. It's a business meeting that you can have in public.

I agree - this is a business meeting. Certainly let him know you are having the meeting (rather than risk him spotting you with your ex in public somewhere) but no need for hm to come along. Does your ex turn up to such meetings with his new girlfriends?!

He knows I jointly own a business and that we need to formalise stuff. I have no problem with meeting up with ex and his new girlfriend now
I guess I am overthinking . I don't know if giving him the option to attend and making it clear he is welcome if he really wants to is the right way to go.

No, don't invite him. It's a work thing, that's all.

But it's a business meeting, not a social event. Surely your ex won't be bringing his girlfriend to a business meeting?

He does not get to come. He does not get to keep an eye on you. It is your business that you are sorting out.

I am sure he can handle that.

If it's this complicated, do you really want to be in the relationship? Just explain that you are having a business meeting with your ex, whom you share a business with, to finalise some paperwork.

If he has a problem, then ltb.
