How do I allow my ex to re enter into the family?
Long story short. I was with a guy for 5years. We split nov2019 but stayed living together because he had nowhere to go. I out him out Jan 2020. We didn't split due to cheating it was more so fighting too much we both were slowly falling out of love an it hit a point where I was unhappy and tired of fighting. We JUST became corjal enough to sit and talk about everything we decided to work on the relationship. I have a 9yr old from a previous relationship and me and him have a 2yr old together. I'm very protective of my oldest and don't no how to go about it. A part of me does not want him to see my oldest becasue I don't want her to be confused as to us working it out and another part of me was wondering if I should allow him to see her and spend time with us (not living together) and get her back use to him. Right now he is living in a hotel and spending 4000 a month on that and living expenses. So I'm in question about if we should live together and be financially stable or continue to struggle seperetly. I may be over thinking it but I'm very cautious of the situations I have my kids in and I do not want to do something that can effect them later. I just need to no what seems to be the healthy way to bring my family back together.
P.s. I've NEVER re dates someone I've split with so I've never had to go through the "working things out" process I have a low tolerence for cheating but with him it's more so our communication was horrible but that's fixable with work.

You are trying to mix up several different issues that really need to be looked at individually:
1. If you and your ex fight all the time, living together is not healthy for you, him, or your kids. Being able to tolerate each other is not a healthy family environment.
2. If he is a good father and has been your older child's father figure for the last 5 year, then maintaining that relationship is a good thing. Both your kids need stability and to know that both their parents love them.
3. How involved is your older child's biological father in her life?
4. If you can't cover your bills on you own salary you should either move, change your lifestyle, and or find a housemate. He should do the same for himself if he can't find a way to live alone. Struggling financially is very stressful, but that does not mean you should live with your ex, particularly if you two don't get along.
