I met my fiance almost three years ago knowing that he had a son on the way (his son is now 2). I am marrying him under the knowledge that because of that, I am going to have to deal with his ex-gf for the rest of our lives. However, he and I have made the decision that no matter how well we are getting along with his ex, we are always going to be seperate, loving families. Yes, we may babysit each other's future kids occasionally and have a dinner with both families there, but we are still going to be seperate families. So far, this has worked. John is not confused as to whom his dad is, or his mom. We are all friendly, but we have our own lives. Why do people keep telling me that I should go the extra mile and include his ex and her husband in just about everything? We don't do it, have never done it, and there has never been a problem. John is not traumatized by having two homes. Why do people keep telling me that I'm wrong?
