Dear Lady. Ann:
I have a 4-year-old son with my ex. My ex and I realized we were better off separated than together and it’s one of the best decisions I have made. My ex and I still maintain a healthy friendship with one another, and I think our friendship is the basis for our great partnership as parents. I would love for things to stay this way, but my current girlfriend hates my baby mama. She has never had a reason to suspect that I may be cheating but yet, she wants me to cut extra communication with my ex.
She insists we only talk when it’s about my son and nothing else. I don’t agree but I love my girlfriend. I want this relationship to work, but I need her to understand that I am committed to only her. I don’t want to ruin my friendship with my baby mama. We have a lot of mutual friends and we only talk a few times a week. I think my girlfriend has some insecurity issues and she is projecting that on me. How do I help her know I’ve got nothing to hide and she has nothing to be worried about? I’m a man by the way.
#DLATribe, what do you think he should do?
