You are entitled to a relationship. Just make sure your son knows he won’t be loved any less and your girlfriend won’t replace his mother
I am a 44-year-old man, with a seven-year-old son. His mother and I are divorced, and I moved out when he was three. We share custody; he is with me three days/nights a week – including part of the weekend. He is doing well at school and has varied interests. He is a very happy child and the most precious thing to me.
I have been in a steady relationship with a remarkable woman for three years. She and my son get along beautifully; he looks forward to seeing her and she loves him very much.
