Hello :) new poster here!
Im nearly divorced and have been with my new partner for a year. I'd like to introduce my new partner to my children but the situation is difficult.
I split up from my husband, hes had real difficulty accepting that our marriage is over but sees our children regularly. Unfortunately he sees the children at the house where we used to live together, saying that the children don't like going to his parents house (where he is now living) which I can't say no to as his name is still on the mortgage- I pay the mortgage & have done since before we were separated. He can't afford to buy or rent his own place. I had been planning to buy his share of the house, but I've been declined when I applied for a mortgage.
Obviously he has a negative view towards my new partner , which seems to have rubbed off on my children. When I've brought up the subject of them meeting him, theyve refused, but I've been with my partner a year now and we are serious about each other and I'd like them to at least meet him and make they're own decisions rather than take on their dads opinion.
