Should my Boyfriend meet my sons father?

I recently read a blog and it was talking about this blended family and how you should introduce your girlfriend/boyfriend to your childs father/mother. What do you think? Do you think it should be done or would it in some cases just cause problems? I have met the girl my sons father is dating..I would have rather not but he just kinda did it.Personally I dont really care who my ex dates as long as my son comes home to me safe and sound..See we dont get along what so ever. I dont think whoever I date or marry with meet my sons father..I just dont see it going over well. I remember when we split up he told me that I am "never aloud to have another man in my sons life" So basically telling me that Im not allowed to date but he is and Im not to say anything of it.

And please dont call me stupid or ask me to use my brain in this one..I just want some opinions of others.

    I have met my sons, mothers husband, and we really got along well, im sad to say that he died a few years ago, but i am glad i got to know him, and think that only you can decide, if it is a good idea, it depends on the personality of your sons father and your boyfriend

    As long as you are a good mother and provider to your children, he does not have a saying on who you go out or who you see, that is your own business, as long as the children are safe as well.

    I know each relationship is different,I've been there, done that. It's not as bad as it seems, it's just "some men" are controlling.

    My best to you!

    in the first place if your husband sets a rule that you werent allowed to have another man in your life and he himself cannot even adhere to same selfish rules ,,, then why waste your life thinking if you should or should not do it.... you could give your self a chance to be happy and be with the man who would and could love you and your son ... when you part ways you were already leading and living a separate lives so it should be a live and let live attitude ...move on and follow your heart .... you should not let others dictate to you how you should live your life ... about the question if both guys should meet yeah it can't be avoided so its better that they do meet...and be both civil with each other ...
