Hi all - would really appreciate some advice! I broke up with the mother of my child in November 2021, when my daughter had just turned 3. It was of course really painful but felt like absolutely like the right decision. I now live about 20 minutes away and we have a 50/50 split.
In June 2022 I met someone at a party and started dating - we have been together since and it's very much a serious relationship now. Throughout I have been very careful to keep my daughter separate from the new relationship, until of course it gets to a point where it feels serious, which it now is.
However, after a year of being together I raised the issue of introducing my daughter to my new partner, in an incredibly gradual way. This was back in June 2023 and my ex stated that she wanted our daughter to start School first. School was still three months away at this point, and I felt this was very unfair.
Now it's October and my ex-partner is still putting obstacles in the way, whilst also suggesting that I will lose my 50/50 share of parenting if I move in with my new partner (which won't happen until March at the earliest).
I'm at a loss as to what to do :(
