I have to say, I am so happy this has not been an issue for us yet. When my ex and i both attend son’s events, neither of us have brought our bf/gf. I just don’t understand why a bf of mine would need to come watch a school play ex was attending. Even if my ex was not attending, I t would not invite a bf to watch. I would want my sons accomplishment to be celebrated by people my son loves... Not who I love. Or think I might possibly one day love.
I would be super annoyed if ex husbands girlfriend came to watch and it puts an always strain on the kids who sense somethings off. My son is not the most socially perceptive kid in the world. But even he senses and gets uncomfortable and shows off or gets real quiet and listens when something is askew. . (It’s a different thing if your married are partners for years).
For as much as I complain about my ex, the one good thing he did was never throw another girl in my face...even after the divorce. (He might also be nervous that I would tell her bad things about him. But still) I also am not sure if there was another woman or just an addiction that caused him to do what he did.
But point being... can’t these walkaways just let it be about the kids and not about them and their love lives????
