I also don’t think most have the issue of her dating so quick (same with Gary) - but the intense involvement of this guy with the kids so quick. He was around those kids very quick from what we can all see and he’s around them a lot. She’s got him on family vacations and all. It’s still relatively new and having this guy being such a core part of the “family” so quick leaves so much potential for problems if things go south.
like at least by appearances with Gary when he’s with the kids (even when he’s had a partner) he typically waits for when he doesn’t have the kids. Trips away with the kids? He goes solo or with family. Fun days out? Usually solo. But Emma is bringing this guy to everything and if he’s not actually living there, it’s close enough to it since he lived on the same street and is there for so much.
