My partner texts her ex daily and goes in for a drink when dropping their son off

DEAR DEIDRE: MY girlfriend texts her ex every day and goes in for a drink with him when she drops their son off.

She’s just told me they are all going to stay in a hotel for two nights as a treat for their son’s birthday.

I’m 32 and my girlfriend is 30.

We have a three-year-old daughter together.

My girlfriend has a ten-year-old boy from the previous relationship.

She had nothing to do with her ex but now they’re starting to get along well again.

She’s told me that he’s made sexual comments towards her.

I’ve told her several times that it makes me feel uncomfortable, but she shrugs it off.

I’m made to feel like a jealous idiot.

I’m happy for her to be amicable with her ex but I feel she’s taking it too far.

DEIDRE SAYS: It is better for this little boy that his parents get on well.

Her ex is part of her past and will be around for many years to come.

But she is not considering your feelings.

Ask her how she would feel if you behaved this way.

Suggest you all celebrate together.

You are her son’s stepdad after all.

If she baulks at that, you may be right to be suspicious.
