The "boyfriend" should keep out of it. If the couple can make it work, for the sake of their child, that's what's important. Not the boyfriend's feelings.
But not the ex-husband has opened this thread on usmb.com but the current boyfriend. This was all about his perspective.
They all sound very young. Yes, the boyfriend started the thread, but he doesn't appear to be very experienced. I would say he's probably in his early 20's and has never been married himself or had children.
As I said previously, I believe the girl's parents are trying to help the guy out because they recognize he is very young and doesn't know which way to turn. You don't take in a son-in-law in his 30's or 40's, but you would take in one that is very young and doesn't have much going for him.
I believe the OP is out of line in trying to involve himself in the situation. I think the family--and whether he likes it or not, they are a family--is trying to manage a difficult situation the best that they can, and in the best interests of the child.
