Was I right to end my first post separation relationship?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

 

Decided to end my first post separation relationship tonight. Strange feeling as I've never had the courage to end a relationship before.

 

The reason was that I had been seeing her for 5 months and had decided to introduce my little boy to her. He had been introduced to the stbxw's boyfriend one month after she met him and I decided introducing my son that quickly was wrong.

 

With the girl I met 5 months ago, I decided to take my time so as not to hurt or confuse my little boy.

 

I needed a commitment that we were now at least boyfriend and girlfriend so that I could set the scene for an introduction, but she was happy for us to be views as dating exclusively. I didn't feel that a strong enough commitment to make it safe for my son to be introduced to her. Also, due to her shift patterns (saw her once every two weeks), plus I saw my son at the weekends so she often couldn't see me, another reason why I was ready to introduce him to her. I just feel that we never gelled as a couple.

 

Have I done the right thing, I feel I have for my sons sake. Any thoughts?

The stbxw and I had only been separated 7 months when she introduced the new guy, I'm now 14 months down the line and still couldn't. I'm keen for my son to learn that relationships are not throwaway things.

 

I hope I will introduce someone to him some day, when the time and person is right, I refuse to repeat the mistake I feel his mother had made.
