Recently I have made contact with my 3yos father after a few reasons he has not been in our life so far. (Please no judgement it is very complicated!)
They just met for the first time the other day, and things seemed to go well.. But now things seem to be a bit difficult and I would love some advice on how to go about this as kindly as possibly as id love nothing more than to co parent together and us all get along for the sake of our child.
Anyway..
Both of us are in relationships with other kids but not sure how to deal with the insecurities of the others partner when it is kind of getting in the way of what's best for our child?
Nothing has officially been said about the insecurities but it's a little obvious.
I am happy to compromise and do what ever it takes to get along and do what's best for our child but I worry for the future if this is how it already is..
Don't get me wrong I totally understand how it must feel to be the partner and I am trying to take this all in consideration along with put my own insecurities behind me for the sake of our child also. Hopefully the insecurities will go away on their side also..
I know co parenting isn't easy just hoping to get some advice on how to make things a tad easier when it comes to partners/step parents and hopefully get some great co parenting tips?
It's all so overwhelming and I just so badly want our child to have a great relationship with their dad.
Thanks sisterhood.

Coming from a fathers "new partner", i know how those insecurities feel. The best advise I can give is keep your convo with the ex short and sweet and pretty much only about the child.... Don't give her any reason to think your trying to get your ex back. If you get to meet her, say hi, let her feel involved. When she feels she can trust her partner and you, things will get easier. I won't lie, the first weekend my partner and kids were together, by Sunday I was soo jelous and holding back the tears. It is hard! I would always think, they loved each other enough to make kids what if they find that connection again. Thankfully, we are all on the same page now.
