If he's so lovely why does your DD dislike him/you seeing him so much?

Why does your DD feel that way?

Before anyone can give advice I think that needs to be expanded upon OP :)

Don't let him stop over. Don't even let him 'visit' you at this stage.

He left you, remember?

I wouldn't pick him over family until you have spent much more time getting to know him.

How did your dd feel about him before you both split up?

I would be very cautious with him at this point, take your time and listen to your gut instinct.

How do you feel things are with you in general?

Forget the "ASAP" bit of this. Seriously. It's great talking things through on here, but if you're not sure what to do, then don't force yourself into a quick decision. Say no this time. If that puts him off, he isn't worth your time.
That gives you time to make the right decision.
Whether your daughter has a point or not needs further information.

I'd take things slowly this time and say no just now but stay friendly with him and see how things pan out,would your daughter not live with/see her boyfriend if you said you disliked him I think not, and just remind her you are entitled to a life of your own without it affecting the relationship you have with her or your grandchildren.

Unless he is a child abuser, which I think you would have mentioned, your DD is really out of order threatening you with not seeing the GC. She seems to use them as a threat a lot (you also think you won't see them if you say what you think about her BF). Can you talk to her about how it feels to have that threat held over you all the time?
