Hate Baby Mama Drama? Here’s How to Avoid It…

Keep Your Business to Yourself

In the event that you actually become “friendly” with his child’s mother, realize that she is still the ex and that anything that goes on in your current relationship is strictly off-limits. Also, if your man is civil, or even friends, with his ex, you might want to remind him that any details of your relationship should remain private. They probably speak regularly since they share a child, and since they have a history, he may feel comfortable talking to his ex about everything…especially if you two have an argument. Let him know that while you respect the bond they share as parents, that bond should stop there and any discussions with her that involve the two of you would be inappropriate – especially if she’s not supportive of your relationship. If she wants him back, she could use anything he tells her against you in order to make an argument for why they should be a family. And if she doesn’t want him back, you don’t want her thinking that you’re a ship passing in the night and there is no stable environment for their child. All she needs to know is that you are a supportive girlfriend and you two are good. That’s it.
