I’m worried my boyfriend’s ex will use their daughter to get him back

DEAR DEIDRE: MY boyfriend’s ex, the mother of his child, keeps texting him saying she wants to make it work for their girl’s sake.

I am 23 and my boyfriend is 25.

We’ve been together for two years and have a great relationship.

His four-year-old daughter is a lovely little girl and I get on well with her, but the contact he has with his ex makes me feel insecure.

My boyfriend reassures me and insists he will never go back to her.

I really want to believe him because I love him but I can’t help fretting over whether I should carry on with us or quit.

DEIDRE SAYS: It is great you get on well with his little girl and it would be sad to let your insecurity spoil your relationship.

It is vital he continues to see his daughter but that doesn’t mean he will find his ex’s pleading with him attractive.

The more you can rise above your doubts, the more you will appeal to him.
