huneygyrl agony auntMaybe this is what the ex suggested for the childs sake. Situations like this complicates the childs thinking. This is one of the reasons why a lot of people don't want to date people with kids, the ex factor.

Maybe its better to just be friends.

The most important person out of this situation is the child. This have nothing to do with you.

TELLULAH agony auntHoney,

You sound like you dont trust him, (and I totally understand that), but you will drive him away if you dont stop trying to force yourself into situations, that your partner is obviously trying to avoid.

I know its hard on you, but just let nature take its course. When you have been together a bit longer, he may start to want you there more. I have always found that if you try and force a man to do something it always backfires. Try using reverse Psychology on him, like you do children. Go and do something else when he picks the child up, so your not sitting their waiting and wondering.

Men are usually quite weak when it comes to exes and their demands, so dont think for one minute he is the odd one.

Happy New Year, I hope it all works out. XX
