Okay..am I overreacting? I'm proud to say that my boyfriend is an AMAZING father....His son is awesome and we get along really well....
Back story:
I've known my boyfriend for 6 years...he was best friends with my boyfriend at the time and I was friends with his girlfriend at the time (who is his baby mama)...I used to babysit for them when their son was still an infant. But I've always known my now boyfriend was unhappy in that relationship, the pregnancy was surprise (she says she was on birth control when she got pregnant...which is def. possible but I have my doubts) but since she did get pregnant he stayed with her for another year (at this time there was absolutely no romantic involvement between him and I...I actually disliked him)...She would try to get him to marry him using things such as hyphenation the baby's last name and saying if he marries her she'll take off her last name, etc.
Once they broke up she would use their child as leverage to still control his life....although admittedly she has calmed down on that quite a lot...if not all the way. Her and I stopped talking...not from any fall out or anything like that....we just kind of lost touch....and last year my boyfriend and I started hanging out on a friend basis, and a few months ago we decided to date...
Anyway...I'm glad that my boyfriend and his baby mama have a good relationship concerning their son...but sometimes I think that they may have too good of a relationship....
When his mother comes to town, she stays with my boyfriend's ex....they have family dinners at his ex's house (which I am not invited to), they borrow each other's cars from time to time...and last week my boyfriend's brother passed away...this is where my question comes in to play...
My boyfriend went to California for the funeral...he was gone all week...he mentioned his son was coming with him and that was it...than last night he got home and off handishly mentioned his baby mama flew out there with him too and spent all week in California with him...I didn't say anything to my boyfriend because he is dealing with the loss of his brother....but I am still bothered that she went...is it even my place to be bothered by this?
