Today he called and came over to have breakfast at the house and wanted to go work on our storage units we have and take some trash out and make some piles for me to take to my consignment booths I work. He came over and the kids were outside playing the whole time, so we were able to talk.
I told him that I didn't want to lose our relationship we have. He told me this morning he had been thinking and he also didn't want to lose our relationship. He wants us to continue to be comfy with each other like we are, where he comes over every day, we do stuff together as a family. He said he wants to keep helping us financially with whatever we need, above and beyond child support, because he knows I have plans to go back to college and finish out my degree after that baby arrives. His example was if the van needs tires and we don't have the extra money, he will put them on there, etc. I said that sounds good, but how does he think a new girlfriend in the picture is going to feel about him hanging out with his ex-wife and kids and financially taking care of us all the time. He said any girl that wants to tell him how to live and interfere with what he wants to do isn't going to be around him for long, and I should be able to see that from how headstrong he has been with me. It sounds nice, but I'm not going to believe that until I see it. He keeps stressing that is not going to be an issue anyway for a long time, because he knows that would really complicate an already complicated situation and he knows I'm not going to be as easy-going when someone else enters the picture. He also said he wasn't ready to see me date or someone else around the house, so I'm glad at least to hear that.
