Is this wrong?

To introduce my 7 year old to my new partner of 6 months and for my ex to do the same (Hers is the affair partner of which our marriage ended). We split officially in July. Ex stayed with her affair partner, I got with someone new a few weeks on. We are both very happy but a friend has made it clear she doesn't agree with what we are doing.

What does the friend have to do with it ? Of course, as time goes on, your child will doubtless calculate when your “friends” came into the picture (as children occasionally [b]do[/b]), so as long as you’re both cool with answering questions, it’s totally [b]your[/b] business.

@bijouxbroussard She loves Alfie and is worried for him. Feels protective as its the man who broke up my marriage that is meeting him.
She needs to back off. Not her place.

@BluePlanet Yes. The bottom line is the man and his mother were equally responsible for the relationship. So neither can be blamed unless both are.

@bijouxbroussard What do you mean? Sorry I don't understand

@BluePlanet The friend is blaming the other man. But your ex [b]chose[/b] to get involved with him. The friend can’t logically blame him without blaming her as well. So there’s no point in blaming [b]either[/b] of them.
