So I started seeing a guy who I’ve known for about 8 months or so as a friend, lives very close. As I knew him for so long and I’m a single mum with no dad involved my daughter who is 4 also got to know him. Had a laugh, we all watched films together just as friends.
Now about 2 months ago it changed into something else. Which for me is a massive deal coming out of an abusive 11 year marriage 2 years ago. I thought I would never like another man again. But I do and he is totally different and safe and secure.
Yesterday we went for a walk, and my daughter came too as it’s just me. Some evenings my mum looks after so can go alone and see him. My friend has said that it’s totally unacceptable that I took my daughter along with him. I haven’t shown him any affection in front of her, maybe cheeky hand hold when she wasn’t able to see. It was just 2 friends going for a walk and they already have a friendship anyway knowing each other so long before. She does think a lot of him.
Was I in the wrong, I don’t want to be a bad mum?
