DEAR DEIDRE: I’M longing to meet my boyfriend’s son but he says I’ve got to get approval from his ex-wife first.

We met at university and had a brief fling then. I’m now 29 and he’s 31.

Our relationship ended when we found jobs, but we stayed in touch on social media and arranged to meet.

He is separated after six years of marriage and their son is four.

We’ve been getting closer lately but if I stay before his son visits, I have to make sure there are no belongings left for his son to find. He doesn’t want to confuse him.

My boyfriend says his ex vets any prospective girlfriend but I don’t want to meet her.

DEIDRE SAYS: As it is a recent reconciliation, bide your time before being introduced to his little boy.

Although kids are adaptable, it can be confusing to have a new step-parent, which is what you will be if this relationship has legs.

When you’ve been together for a few more months, your boyfriend may feel that the time is right to introduce you to his son. And if his ex wants to meet, is that so bad?

You’re ideally going to be part of the boy’s life so it may help you both.
