my boyfriend and his ex

My boyfriend has an attachment to his ex-girlfriend's niece. It feels so awkward everytime he visits the kid, who is currently 4 years old, but I try to think that it's fine with me cause it means a lot to him because he already learned to love the kid. The worse part of this is that, not only that he encounters his ex-girlfriend in the house of the kid, the kid lives in the province causing my boyfriend to commute with his ex-girlfriend. What's more irritating is that she seems to look for opportunities to commute with my boyfriend like during holidays she sends SMS to my boyfriend asking him to go with her to her niece. I don't know if it's not really alright that they are still interacting in the same way or is it only because I know the she still loves my boyfriend. I trust my boyfriend so much but it is just so irritating when his ex-girlfriend seems to look for opportunities to be with him because she still has feelings for him. Another irritating issue is that while I'm trying to ignore this issue, his ex's family takes it as an issue that he has a girlfriend. I can't go with my boyfriend whenever he visits the kid and it feels like hell not knowing what's going on with my boyfriend who is with his ex-girlfriend who loves him so much! Don't get me wrong, as I have said, I love my boyfriend, but it's just harrasing knowing that someone who likes him is trying and hoping to hit on him. I know that they love the girl but it's her fault that they broke up! She left him for another guy, and now that she realized that she left a great guy for an someone who didn't really loved her, she has been going after him for almost 3 years now. They should understand that and put aside their bias. They should be able to accept the fact that she ruined it and they should move on and accept that he already has a new life with a new girlfriend. Should I continue to allow my boyfriend to visit the kid or is it just fair that I would ask him to cut his attachment to his ex's family?

Just follow your boyfriend to the niece house..You have got nothing to lose. If you don't feel comfortable..then just join him. I don't get it why he is so attached to the niece. The neice more important or you. You must ask him clearly and tell him that you don't feel comfortable. You can also ask him to choose among you, his ex and the niece. I think you have the right unless you fear losing him.But if he really loves you..he will not be putting you under so much pressure and choose to make you happy. If he is unsure...you can leave him and not waste so much time on a fickle minded man.
