Hi.
My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 2 years. Prior to us getting together I was aware he had a child but at the time it wasn't an issue as he wasn't seeing her due to issues he was having with the childs mother. I'd always said to my self I would never date someone with a kid so as selfish as it sounds at d time it worked for me that the daughtr wasn't in the picture.
6 months into us datingwe had exchanged I love you's and that we'd only be boning eachother but we wernt boyfriend and girlfriend yet but I still didn't sleep with anyone . He told me thathat he just found out a girl he had a 1 night stand with is 6 months pregnant as she texted his old phone which he was no longer using so naturally I'm crushed but somehow tried to work through it.
Something told me just to be sure to look at his phone n make sure nothings going on. cut a long story short i found out he slept with her again and with several other girls. I was fuming as despite us not being official we agreed what it was and he assured me especially with baby number 2 on the way it will only be a co-parenting thing.
Didn't speask to him for a while and a few months later we tried to make stuff work and became boyfriend and girlfriend a few months after his 2nd daughter was born. Fast forward a bit I met the 2nd mother once to familiarise ourselves and again at the daughters 1st birthday then all of a sudden the first mother came back into the scene.
Personally I prefer the first mother. subconsciously it could be because I know there's no sexual possibilities and he didnt f me over with her and she doesn't fancy him like d other woman does. We've been out a couple of times for her daughters bday etc and she's really fun bubbly etc.
What I'd like to know is what do you think I should do to move forward with my relationship with the 2 women. My partner has stressed I don't need to speak to them or see them or have their numbers n vice versa EVER and he'd keep us all at an arms distance.
My question is being practical if it's a case down the line when I need to pick up his daughters as there's no familiarity my partner would never ask me to and instead perhaps say he can't meet or pick them up etc.
Also if I'm walking down the street holding any of the children's hands and bump into the baby mamas,number 1 it wouldn't b awkward but number 2 may be like why the he'll is she holding her hand etc.
I don't feel we need to be bezza mates but some sort of relationship is required for the sake of the children. I know she feels a way because I took her number when I found out about the baby to see her whats app and gauge what kind of person she is. I saw a status I didn't like which was a pic of my partner and her status saying that's all mine.
I queried my boyfrirned asked why does she feel comfortable enough to put thay and he said no idea she's getting too familiar and he will tell her that. Little did I know that he said to her my girlfriend doesn't like that pic take it down. Naturally she's going to feel a way and now thinks I'm nosey and trying to rub it in her face that I've got him. (Those were her exact words) says my boyfriend. He said he told her it's not like that but shes said she knows what females are like.
What I'm failing to understand is why did he tell her like that instead of saying that status is a bit much can u take it down. He claimed it was to show me that he cares and will do anything and letting the mother know that I'm there and involved or I come first or whatever it was.
My issue wasn't with her it was him and his dodgy Ness so now he's messed that up too. I only found this out as I suggested perhaps to make us more familiar so I can feel comfortable about her also I drip off your daughter with u one day. Then he replied she doesn't want u knowing where she lives and explained what I just wrote.
He came up with some bollocks excuse saying if u needed to pick up my child u can park round d corner REALLY??!!! can we not just get over this and move on were all adults I'm 25 he's 27 and the 1st mother is 28 and the second 33.
What to do in regards to relationship with mothers please. Do I stay at a distance or try to integrate more?
I'm still trying to figure out why you feel the need to stay with this lying, cheating, barely responsible man-child.
@jespah,
yh i kinda wrote the message negatively. tbh in regards to everything else he has changed and hes a great boyfriend n treats me well bla bla- is on the str8 and narrow now - do u have any suggestions in regards to getting on with the mothers
