He's affectionate with his ex

It might just be the honeymoon period being over but my boyfriend hardly cuddles me now. Not since his ex who he has his eldest child to started messaging him to say he keeps asking to see him. He doesn't say nice things to me in texts but he's been saying love from me with loads of kisses and he called her sexy before which I told him was wrong and he hasn't since.
But they're going to meet up for a coffee or drinks one night and I said you never know what might happen if you both drink and she cheated on him years ago. So he said he'll meet her at McDonald's. He said he needs to talk with her about it first before he meets his son which is good. And he said she's engaged so should I be paranoid??
I asked him if he still loved me and ge reassured me but what do you think?

Child contact arrangements could be made via email. He does not need to meet his ex partner. He is choosing to.

The issue here is trust. You don't seem to trust him. The 'sexy' comment was unacceptable. A relationship can't continue with no trust.

Sounds like he's trying to get back with her, he's no longer being nice to you, telling her she's sexy and suggesting to meet with her, she may well be not interested if she's engaged but he's not taking a step back is he. His child has direct contact with him already so why they can't just confirm visits by phone/messages.

What's the back story about him not having regular visits with his child already. if you have doubts about him not being a decent guy you trust, just end it and dont waste time on him.

What is the point in living if I'm gonna be alone forever. I just want a happy relationship instead of being cheated on or mentally physically abused

Some people are just not honest irl and will say he sounds like a nice guy just because either they don't know what's really happening and they want you to be happy because that's what you'd want to hear.

On here, you are asking for honest advice from what I've read he sounds like a player, still tries it on with his ex and not a great father by not already having regular visits in place.

It's not you that isn't good enough, he sounds like a poor choice and in fact you could do better.
Living alone without a partner stress free will be more beneficial than you you think right now, learn to live happily, don't get into relationships out of loneliness.

His ex is snaring him back as he’s found someone. Once she’s done with him, she’ll either cheat or drop him like a hot potato.
Get him out of your house, I wouldn’t marry someone who disrespected me like that.

Alicew00 · 18/04/2022 09:25

I know and she's got a boyfriend too. It's all so seedy. I just need to confront him.
They're both using the excuse that it's about their son but they can just all meet up together with him I don't know why they need a meeting alone and apparently only at night !!

Not worth the drama in your peace, boot him out and delete from your mind. They sound like a nightmare and they'll always have to coparent, life's too short

Stay away from men with baggage in the future. It ends in tears…yours.
