| My ex and I split amicably 2 years ago. We lived together until 6 months ago. He had a new gf for six months before I went and he introduced her to our kids pretty much as soon as I'd left, which I didn't like but I felt it was his mistake to make (if indeed it was one) and I didn't want to be the b**** ex who makes things difficult. Anyway, they've broken up and I'm quite angry with him for putting our kids in this position. I did say I thought things were moving too fast but he said he had intentions to marry her which put my mind at ease a little as he is not the type to commit unless he is really serious. How should I handle it with the next girl (and there will be one, I'm sure) I don't want to have a bad relationship with him because I feel it will affect my children but I certainly don't want my kids put in this position again. |

| There isn't really much you can do about it. He has a right to see his kids and whomever he chooses to date. Would you like it if he was still trying to run your life? |

| You need to stay out of it seriously. It is his life now, you really do not have the right to say anything unless your children are in physical danger. Just be there for your kids |

| thinking what is best for the children is always an issues with ending any relationship, he was the one who made decisions that affected the children and they will see the difference between you and him, but I know for now, it is hard for them to go through such things |

| it's something he should be handling with your kids not you. if the kids are still not sure or have questions then they can come to you and maybe you can answer the questions for them. |

| I agree with you... He is setting an example for your children that it is okay to be with different women. A friend of mine waited 6 months until HE introduced his son to his new girlfriend. He let the mother of the children meet her before he let his son at that. The childs mother and him have there ups and downs but the communication is phenominal. He ended up marrying his new girlfriend after 2 years and they all get along. But he was protective of his son and still is. His sons mother is the same way. Just tell him you are not trying to be the bad guy but want to only protect our children and kids are never too young to know there is a stranger in the room holding there daddy's hand.... Good luck |

| It's a very bad idea to introduce children to a new partner right away. The next time, be the beeyatch. Make things difficult. You gotta stand up for your kids.Its pathetic that you value your relationship with him more than your kids' relationship with him. |
