my ex wife has a man in her life and im not very happy about it.i dont want her anymore but i dont want anyone else with her.is that normal???? also i dont want another man looking after my son, i hate being a part time dad and only see my son for a few hours on wednesday night and all day sundays,sometimes she lets me have him all weekend. there is no problem with the access side of it and she is pretty good at letting me see him when i want. but i think the more this man gets into her life the more my son will feel for him and the more i will get pushed out. am i being selfish or stupid i dont know. i just dont want to share my sons love with anyone else. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very unhappy state of affairs. Its very sad and no picnic for anybody involved. Its only natural that you will feel very jealous over your sons time. Remember blood is thicker than water make sure you still give him plenty of attention. Unfortunatly boys seem to get very possesive over their mothers, I expect he wont be to happy about the new arrangement himself.

i try to give my son plenty of attention without spoiling him.i want him to look forward to seeing his daddy and not what his daddy has bought for him.

What you say is very true. The last thing is to become a cheque book father. It takes a lot determination to keep close to your children. I hope all your efforts will bring success. It is often unfair and devastating that fathers have to stand back in these circumstances. Generally society dictates that children stay with their mothers, especially when they are so young, but it doesnt make it any easier for dedicated fathers to stand back.

i give her credit,she is a good mother and to be fair i dont think i could look after george full time.and at the moment i can see him more or less when i want.
