It is not uncommon for relationships and circumstances to change after a divorce, and it can be difficult to navigate these changes while also considering the needs and well-being of your children. In the situation described, it is important to prioritize the needs and well-being of your children above the desires of your new boyfriend.
While it is understandable that your new boyfriend may have concerns or reservations about your relationship with your ex-husband, it is not fair or appropriate for him to make demands on your relationship with your children. Your children have a right to have a relationship with both of their parents, and it is important to prioritize their needs and well-being above any other considerations.
In this situation, it would be appropriate to have a conversation with your new boyfriend about your commitment to your children and the importance of maintaining a relationship with them. It may also be helpful to seek the support of a therapist or mediator to help facilitate this conversation and address any underlying concerns or issues that may be causing conflict in your relationship.
Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to continue seeing your children is a personal one that should be made based on what is best for you and your children. While it may be difficult to navigate the challenges and changes that come with a divorce, it is important to prioritize the well-being and needs of your children and to make decisions that are in their best interests.

@Stereoguy My uncle’s wife and her sister were abandoned by their mother. She left them to go with another man who didn’t want children. She did visit them regularly though.
In elementary school there was a girl and her brother who were left with their aunt since their mom went to live in Vegas with her boyfriend.
It happens a lot trust me.

Please be very wary of that kind of jealousy.
It can be the sign of a narcissist or a control freak.
Your first responsibility is you children's welfare; they need to see you frequently, have your active input in parenting, and be sure of your love.
The right new partner will be someone who loves the kids and honours both their need and yours to remain close until they're old enough to be independent.

@Jenny1234 that is simply unfathomable, for both parties. If you can't prioritize your kids, then why the fuck did you have them. And a guy entering into a relationship with a woman with kids, needs to prioritize the kids as well. Not be their father, but not ask her to prioritize them over her kids. Unless this is transactional.

I know you said that you wanted to hear from the women, but trust me you'll end up regretting it in the long run

@SilkandLace2 I know this is wrong but I wondered how many women thought otherwise
SilkandLace2 · 46-50, M
@Woofwoof15 you know what, I'm gonna cut this off right here, i didn't carry my children, and men are sometimes ground into the dirt for being "absentee fathers", how could you even entertain this notion?! 🤬
SilkandLace2 · 46-50, M
@Woofwoof15 so, if you "know it's wrong", and I'm not really even talking right or wrong,, how could you even fit a second entertain this, I'm NOT woman, nor carried them, do you just not have the "connection" that in SO many instances overrides a father's love for them that gets denied a lot just because we haven't carried them?? I'm done, you should know, bye

Not as common as you keep saying, for both mother or father. Yes, it does happen, but there are other circumstances at play.
