Been with my girlfriend for over 6 months now. She has 2 kids to different people. One 7 and one 2 - both boys.

Father of 7 year old is perfectly fine with me. Father of 2 year old has a problem with her being with someone, although he was the one who cheated/walked out on her over a year ago...

He's constantly messaging her saying how he doesn't want me near his son, etc... She's ignored him on the sense that she wants her own life as well but now it's got to the point that he's stopping at hers (apparently he has no where else to have them) when it's his turn to have him. He even fetches his daughter who he's had with someone else.

He then buggers off to work in the day and leaves them both with her - in which then I cannot spend the day with her due to not wanting to cause any more hassle. It's got to the point now where it's taking the ****.

He's practically controlling her and not letting her live her life - and now because I said I wasn't comfortable with the situation - I'm the one in the bad books?

Am I in the wrong to think that it's unacceptable to be at hers when it's his weekend to have his son and daughter?

It should be the time for her to have a few days away from the kids and spend quality time with me and/or friends...
 
Walk away, there is a world of trouble there mate.

Two kids, two different fathers, run for the hills.

Haha, wish it was that simple - although seems may be my only option on how the last few days have been...

Love the kids, they love me. Just seems I can't win in any situation...
 
You have to pick the battles you can win no matter how much you would like to win them all. This is not of those ones you can win no matter how much you would like to.

I think I'm starting to see that now. As much as I'd like to stay with her, she just doesn't see what's happening.
 
You'll hurt everyone a lot more especially those kids if you hang in there even longer and really get people depending on you before bailing.

It is as simple as you want to make it.

I have a friend who is going through a similar thing, his wife has cheated on him twice in the 12 months they have been married, she has three kids by three different fathers.

He wouldn't listen before he got married, he won't listen now.

If you stay with her good luck, you are going to need it.

What ever is said in this thread, you will not listen unless it is someone telling you to stick in there, it will all be fine in the end.

Sorry to be harsh but there we go.

Why isn't it simple? Unless my arithmetic is awful, the father of the 2 year old cheated with your GF when the child was around 6 months old. You're probably not dealing with a rational adult here.

You've been dating this woman for 6 months which is nothing. I'm sure you like or even love her but the way you've presented the situation in your OP just screams, "Move on".

Time to put the big boy pants on, say goodbye to the situation and find a relationship which is more stable and enjoyable.
