Interfering ex wife

Hi ladies,
I have a bit of a dilemma and I'm unsure what to do.
I'm in my 20s, and I have been with my boyfriend for just over a year and have lived with him for just under 3 months.
2 months ago we unfortunately had a miscarriage of twins and we have decided that we are ready to start trying for a baby. This would be my first child and his third.
Unfortunately he has a very annoying interfering ex wife, that he has two children to. She has told him she wants him to have vasectomy and if he had kids with anyone else then he wouldn't be able to see his children with her. He's only recently divorced from her as their relationship just didn't work out, however they have a weird relationship, they do childish things to get back at each other, and they constantly argue, she rings him 2-3 times a day and asks him to go round at stupid times at the night. I'm not comfortable with their relationship, I understand he needs to speak to her for the children but now it's starting to affect me.
So stuck on what to do?

So stuck on what to do

He comes with too much baggage for a woman like you in her 20s... you don't need it.

The fact that he even relayed this information about the vasectomy to you is worrying.

A man with a backbone would have told her to take a hike.

Then the childishness on both sides is something you don't need.

Find a man without the baggage...you're not desperate.

Are you sure his wife is demanding he has a vasectomy and it’s not a made up story to cover the fact he doesn’t want any more dc’s? He sounds immature and their relationship sounds odd. Your relationship with him is very new so I would definitely wait and get to know him better before choosing to have DCs with him. Remember if it doesn’t work out you can walk out of the door and never have to see him again, but having DCs with him means he will always be in your life whether you stay together or not.
