When divorced parents need to navigate introducing new partners to shared children

My ex-husband and I share custody of our eight-year-old and we've both started dating other people but we haven't talked about when or how to introduce new partners to our daughter. We're avoiding the conversation because we're both scared of making the wrong choice, but our silence is making every pickup and dropoff feel loaded with things we're not saying.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who once shared everything now must negotiate intimate decisions as strangers, with their child's wellbeing hanging in the balance of conversations neither knows how to start.
