Christmas traditions with ex-husband and kids...how do I handle this?

My ex-husband and I have a very amicable relationship working together to keep the kids on the right track. I've entered into a new relationship with a man who refuses to share me with my ex-husband. He's indicated that if I spend Christmas with my ex-husband and children (17, 15, 9) that he'll call off the relationship. Help, what's the solution here?

How long have you been seeing the new guy? Where in the world does he think he has a right to say & do this to you? How old is he? Does he have kids? Has he been married before? Me, my ex and my 3 boys do not spend Christmas Day together. We have always split it since we separated. I usually have Christmas Day with them, then he has them on the 26th with his family. Works out great and the kids love it. Your kids ALWAYS come first. There are many fish in the sea. If he really cared about you,he would not have said what he did. How is he with your kids? It sounds like he is insecure & jealous if he "refuses to share you with your ex". This is not his choice. You are not his property to share. You can go and do what you want when you want to. No man has the right to tell you what you can or can not do - or try to make you make such a choice like he is trying to do. Tell him you kids come first -and that they will always come first- any good man would expect this

One mans opinion, but if he (new beau) isnt accepting of your kids now, what is he going to be in a few years? its easy for me to say, but i think your kids must come first..... an alternative - you could split the day....
