Baby's Daddy Drama...Please HELP!?

Pick your battles. I don't think this is a really big one, so I wouldn't mention it to him or the new girl-friend. The important thing is that your kids are taken care of when they are with their dad. Are they fed, are they clean, do they brush their teeth, are they safe and out of harms way? Does he keep an eye on them and they are not wandering around the neighborhood or playing in the street? Does he have any vicious pets? Do they wear seatbelts in the car? Those kinds of issues would be more important to me, personally.

If you don't like the "hickey" example he is setting, then try to be an example to the kids yourself for what you believe is right. I just feel like you could cause more harm than good by mentioning this too him.

And SUPER GOOD ON YOU for being able to get along with the new girl-friend! What an excellent example YOU ALL are setting for the kids.

Good luck. This is never easy.

Honestly you're right about the fact that hickeys are gross but to be honestly it's nothing to fuzz about. You can talk to him and tell him that you prefer if he gets a hickey to cover it up. But otherwise that's his business and if you have young kids they really don't care. Are you sure you're not still wanting your ex back? That is what it sounds like, hmm!

Just tell him flat out that you don't think he is setting a bad example for the kids, that if he is going to have hickey's he needs to not have them around the kids or keep them covered up.

This seems like a difficult situation. However, I think you should politely explain to your ex that it is disrespectful to your children for him to be seen that way. Explain to him that it is both of your responsibilities to teach the children respect and that him and his girlfriend may need to place the hickey's a bit further down so that the kids can not see them. Hope this helps.

If he's shacking up with his new lover and having the kids witness that, I hardly think the hickey is the issue.

it might come off as jealousy or even that you want him back, but if your children notice the hickeys and they have a problem with it, forget his/her feelings; your kids feelings come first. but then ask yourself... are you upset because you miss him?

Without playing games, don’t be available 100% of the time or let your life be an open book. A man that comes on too strong or doesn’t have outside interests will scare a woman away just as much as it would if the circumstances were reversed. Read here http://attractanywoman.emuy.info/?ZL83

Women don’t want to feel as though they are completely responsible for your happiness and that is what it feels like when the other person has no outside interests. Men who are overeager or jump when the woman says jump are the ones who are more likely to end up in the friend zone. This doesn’t mean that you should play the game of not calling for a few days; it means that you should set healthy boundaries until you both naturally find a spot for the other in your lives.

Since you don't have a problem talking to the other woman, tell her how you feel. She's the one laying those hickies on him right?

I would say something in passing to her. dont dwell on it, just drop a hint.

The honest truth is that you say nothing and deal with it.
