When is a good length before introducing a boyfriend to your child? A little back story me and her father were together for 2.5 yrs, he was very controlling and manipulative and dumped me around 6 months ago. Thank God. He got a new gf literally 3 days later but that's another story, so I have full custody of her he gets her one day a week. I recently met a really awsome guy who I really like he loves kids, even got her a valentines gift. We have been dating for a few weeks, he treats me so good and is absolutely amazing. I was thinking a few months but I was just curious what everyone's opinions are. I dont want to hurt or confuse my daughter. She is almost 2 btw.
