I think your ex t wants someone else there for her own purposes. I'm not what the precise reason is - it could be it legal, emotional or safety or other reasons, only she really knows that.
If it were for your sake, your ex t would not insist on it and would give you much more say in the matter. Since she has not done this but essentially given you an ultimatum, it is about her.
