Dear Lady, Ann:
My boyfriend and I have been dating long distance for a year. I recently decided to move in with him, so we could finally be together. I left my family, friends and job for this move. You might judge me for doing that, but I really think he was worth the move. I found a similar job and he was very excited about my decision. He would have made the move, but he needed to be close to his son, which I totally get.
Everything has been fine with us since my move, my problem is his baby mama. Since I moved in, I have noticed his ex keeps trying to tear us apart. She calls him at odd hours of the day to tell him their son is sick. He gets there and it’s never really anything serious. He won’t admit that she is using their son to manipulate him, and he insists his son is too important for him to take the risk of not responding to any of her calls.
I understand he loves his son and I would not want him to do anything that could hurt the child. But I am also sure his ex wants him back and is only doing this to get him back. His son was meant to spend the weekend with us last week and we had planned on taking him to the zoo. All of a sudden, his son kept insisting his mom comes along. I felt the child was only demanding for what his mother must have told him to say. My boyfriend and I argue a lot over these things. I need to know how to convince him that his ex is just being manipulative. What do I do?
