Guest Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I have been seperated for a little over 3 months now and have started dating again. To that end I have met a wonderful woman who has 2 boys and we have started dating. My daughters b-day is next month and my ex-wife, for lack of a better term, will not let me take her by herself. She insists on being there at the party. I have already invited my girlfriend to be there at the party because she would really like to meet my daughter. I have made it abunduntly clear to my ex that I would have a "date" there. I would like some thoughts and feedback on what people think about this particular situation.
Sally00 Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Well.... atleast you told your separated wife that your new girlfriend will be at the party. So she shouldn't be surprised. Sure, it might be a bit awkward... but nothing horrific should happen. The worst that can happen is that there will be a fight. But you shouldn't even worry about that happening because your daughter and her friends (I'm assuming) will be there. So all I can say is that it could feel awkward. That's the worse thing.
angel915 Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 your ex wife may feel a bit awkward knowing that you have a new girlfriend and you are introducing your new gf to HER daughter. as a mother she's over protective of her child. as long as they know who's attending the party then it should be okay. no surprises but definitely there will be a lot of awkwardness. your girlfriend should understand because she has kids too. eventhough you and your ex wife are divorced you still have a daugther that connects your lives forever. now if you didn't have a kid with her and still keep in touch then there's something wrong. they should keep their personal feelings intact for your daughter's benefit. it's not her fault that her parents are not together anymore. she will appreciate that both of her parents will be there to attend her party.
