How do you deal with insecurity when you’re dating a parent who has a good relationship with their co-parent? I absolutely want what’s best for his child, but I can sometimes get stuck in my head when they spend time together as family. For example, when they have a family dinner for Mother’s Day. I’ve never dated someone with a kid before so this is all new to me. Any advice?
I’m dating a single dad and this is our second time trying to make our relationship work. There first time we dated I really struggled with his lack of boundaries with the mother of his child. We’re back together and it’s going well. He’s way more thoughtful about the boundaries he sets and tries to communicate more with me. He asked how I feel about an overnight camping trip with his kid and the BM. This was a problem the first time we were together. I feel like it’s a lose/lose situation for me. I feel like I shouldn’t say they can’t spend family time together but I also don’t think overnight trips are appropriate. Can anyone weigh in?
