Trying to be cool here…
My partner has a young child that I feel he leaves me out of their life because of the drama of his ex and him navigating this new situation. Also because I’m sure the child’s mother does not like me at all for other reasons. Though I try to have patience and let them do their thing with raising their child, I can’t help but feel left out at times. As my partners friends and family see the baby regularly or whenever they ask too. He goes there to care for the child because mom won’t let him watch the child in his own home (child is still young). Him and his ex relationship being very very tumultuous doesn’t help either. I get if I was the mother, I would feel ways about her being around my child, BUT realistically this isn’t just your kid and the baby’s arrival was very abrupt and unplanned. When and what should I say related to feeling left out? I have expressed being patient and allowing time and things getting figured out to let things tell it. But it’s getting off putting. idk exactly what I want but literally being a important person to my partner and their baby important to them. Along with everyone else in his life being acquainted with the baby it’s just weird at times.
