You will still have a co-parenting relationship with your W regardless of if you're a couple or not. It's not ok for your kids to play one parent off the other, that will cause major issues later on. You can still make those decisions along with her but stop wondering if she will get mad or not.

Alternatively, she doesn't get to have the final say in your relationship with your kids. If you want to get him an iPad first and she says no, realize it's not her right to tell you how to parent your kids. I would respect her opinion and try to find a solution that works for everyone first.

Point being your still approaching this wrong, you view everything through the lens of how W will react or think about it.
