His ex..

Basically, hes still living with his ex. We have plans to get our own place when the lockdown is over.

His ex is saying that when we move in together she will not let him have the kids while I'm there. Says he can only see them if he stays there on a weekend. I've tried to make thing easier by suggesting that me and the ex have a meet just so she can get to know me, know ill be fine with the kids etc.. i have a child of my own. He's said she won't go for it.

The thing with him staying there on a weekend, I'm not happy with the idea and he knows it. I want him to have a relationship with his kids, ive got no intentions of getting in the way. My view is, if he does agree to stay she will never let the kids come to our place, ruining any kind of normal family life for me and OH
And its no secret that she wants him back, using the kids to play with his head is very childish imo

He knows how I feel about it but he's not offered much in the way of sorting something out.

Is this just me or am I being unreasonable?

Red Flag dude.
My ex did the same and was actually sleeping with his ex wife the 'child visit' weekends, and me during the week!

If he is not fighting to be with you And have the kids -something is really off here!!

Way too soon to start having his children live with you at the weekend - you've not been together for long at all.

I think he needs to find his own pace and live alone at least for the first year. Those poor children, must be confusing enough for them. They need time to settle to their own situation. Also, you need to think about your own child. You can't just move a new man into your life. Take time and enjoy the relationship fir what it is and let it grow over time.
