MoonLux agony auntWhen people become parents, they usually take a back seat and the priority becomes the child/children.

Questions: Is the schedule erratic? Why the need to stay "there" and not have the baby with you guys? Can they set something up so you can have a scheduled expectations of when and wheres? and.. Since you say that you're for him and he's for you, you know he has a baby and you can be part of loving his child too.

Don't put too much weight on the ex. It's only a problem if you make it.

Good luck and again.. the ex is only a problem if you make it.

Denise32 agony auntJust because she stoops so low and is calling you nasty names, doesn't mean YOU have to sink to her level!

Show that you're "better quality" than she is by totally ignoring her.......if necessary, change your email address and/or block her.........

mystiquek agony auntIt doesn't sound like you are number 3, but it sounds like he does put his child first. That's a very good trait for a man to have, I'm sure you don't resent him for that. Its admirable. As far as his ex goes, its all part of the broken family chain...ex tends to go along with the child...like it or not. The best thing you can do is to try to stay out of. I'm sure your guy knows what his ex is like, what's she capable of. Spitting venom about her isn't going to change things, just make it worse. Try to stay calm, level headed and let the two of them deal with things. They are the parents, and they are going to have to interact with each other FOR YEARS. And you need to at least pretend to be secure, seriously...because truthfully men don't like insecure clingy women, and acting all hateful and jealous could actually push a guy away. Be cool..even if it kills you. If he loves you, he loves you, and he won't go back to her. But don't push him away. Been there..done that. Its hard, I know..but you can get through this.

Denise32 agony auntLady you are spitting venom concerning your boyfriend's ex! I don't know when I've seen so much hatred expressed in a message........

Anyway, to get to the point: Like it or not, he DOES have a son with this woman, and he SHOULD be a presence in his child's life. He ALSO has a responsibility to pay child support to her for the bringing up of her son - and paying out that money will continue for many years to come.

As for his ex, well, remember that - for the moment at least - YOU are his girlfriend, not her. She is not a "bitch"; she's a human being. She's the one with a baby and is responsible for caring for him, plus she now has a very restricted social life, maybe not a lot of money. Where's your sense of compassion?

You giving him hell over staying with her and their baby is NOT going to endear you to your bf, you know? Unless you can accept that this is something he has to do, you are likely to become his next ex - if you keep this up.

Try and understand what he's dealing with, and go on with your own life. Don't you have friends and activities you enjoy and can get involved in when he's not around? You'd be well-advised to change your attitude.......

This is a tricky one. Its clear he cares for his kid, and I think that's a good quality, he takes care of his responsibilities.

The ex, she sounds crazy. And like she still wants him. So that really sucks. But if you trust him and what he says, then he won't leave you for her.

This really sucks, she's gonna keep calling and he'll keep going because he cares about his kid. Since he was there all day when he was sick.

Stay with him, try to make it work. Maybe tell him your concerns. I wish I could offer more advice, but this is a tricky one. But honestly, keep trying, at least you can say you tried, no matter what happens.

Good luck with him. Again, sorry I couldn't offer more advice.
