I'm nearly 2 years separated with 2 DC. Ex moved on pretty quickly and started a new relationship within 6 m of moving out and wasted no time introducing his new girlfriend to our children, them all staying overnight at hers etc.
After some gruesome OLD I met a lovely man and we have been seeing each other for a few months now. He has met my children a couple of times, he's dropped by the house for a cuppa and its been fine, they like him and he likes them too.
The issue is me - this just feels really weird spending time as a family group with a man who isn't their dad. I have no lingering feelings towards my ex at all and it genuinely doesn't bother me that he is with someone else, although the speed at which that happened was a bit of a surprise. I want my new relationship to work out and have been careful to take things slowly but this almost feels like I'm doing something wrong by being with someone new, despite DC and friends being supportive. New partner has suggested us all going out for the day together and I' really not sure I'm ready for that.
I'm not sure why I feel like this. I'm feeling a bit down about it though and wondered if anyone else had experienced similar and could offer some words of wisdom?
