Hi guys let me thank you in advance for any advice you may give me i am at a loss as to what i can do about this problem..
Basically i am 31 years old, my ex wife is the same age and we have a 5 year old daughter together, we got married for the wrong reasons it didn't work and we have been seperated for 5 years and divorced for 2 however i still see her once a week for about 5 mins when i drop my daughter back to her after seeing her for the day however i dont go in the house and our relationship is amicable purely for the sake of our daughter.
I have been seeing a girl for about 7 months now and she is the first serious relationship i have had since my split from my ex. I told my new girlfriend that i had an ex wife and a daughter on our first date so as not to surprise her with anything down the line and she appriciated that.
I know it must be difficult for her to accept the fact i have a child and an ex wife but she has been brilliant about the whole thing and we have been having a great relationship that just works its fantastic and she loves the fact i see my daughter and has no problem with this and this is the first woman i can honestly say .
Now to my problem:-
A couple of days ago my new girlfriend said she had a bit of an issue with my ex wife, basically my ex wife called me twice (i missed the calls) while i was in the shower at my girlfriends house, my girlfriend informed me of this so i called her back and when i told my ex wife where i was she hung up the phone and now my girlfriend thinks my ex still has feelings for me, i never thought this at the time but after that i am inclined to agree with her, i have no such feelings for my ex wife. My girlfriend knows that i never go in to my ex wifes house and only ever drop my daughter off at the door however about a week ago i did to talk to my ex wife and inform her that sometime soon i would like to introduce my daughter to my girlfriend, i did not tell my girlfriend this and it came out in the discussion we had about her feelings about my ex wife. Now, understandably, my girlfriend has a bigger issue because,like an idiot, i lied,by ommission, about going into my ex wifes house and talking with her which resulted in a huge bust up.
We both want to find a solution for this as we are totally in love with each other but at the moment we cannot find a way that would not interfere with my seeing my daughter which my girlfriend doesn't want and i wouldnt allow..
PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS i dont want this relationship to end and if we cant find a solution i fear that it will
Thank you so much everyone
