Hi
Give the guy a break! He's trying to do whats right by all of you, and getting torn in all kinds of directions! Why should you be able to go with him when he visits his child, if i was the childs mother, i wouldnt be happy with that til it had been spoken about. But thats just me, and luckily my childrens dad was well into his 40's before he had to introduce them to his girlfriend, but he didn't do it for a good year. And i am extremely confident he never would let them meet someone that he wasn't serious with, or that wasn't a decent person. But i accept i am lucky in that way. Its not usually quite that straightforward.
This is all about trust, and yes, its a nightmare to trust someone thats lied in the past. If you can do it, i take my hat off to you, but you cant be getting all hung up on his childrens mother. It just wont work. For the next 16 yrs atleast, he will have something to do with her.
If i thought there was anything still going on with an ex and his childs mother, i would steer well clear from the start.
He didn't tell you about the children because he thought it would put you off. Thats an innocent lie in my book, like lying about age, and my mother has done that numerous times but is a very loyal person still! but only you can decide if it is a small lie in your book.
Good luck.
