EX STRESS

I’m feeling uneasy about the amount of time my partner is spending with her ex

DEAR DEIDRE: MY partner has a daughter with her ex and I struggle with the amount of time she is spending with him on family outings.

I am 36 and my partner is 33. Her little girl is nine.

I get on well with her and had no problem when she told her mum she wanted to see more of her dad.

He’d been working abroad but came back to this country for lockdown.

But I was shocked that my partner has kept going along with them on these family outings.

I thought it would just be her little girl seeing her dad, not all of them together.

I’m feeling uneasy.

DEIDRE SAYS: Be careful not to sound as if you are objecting to your partner’s daughter seeing her dad.

But tell her you would like to use more of the time freed up by her daughter being out as “together time”.

Make an effort to have plans ready to make that time special, showing just how much you value her.
