Your son should be able to stay with his dad just as much as he stays with you. He wouldn’t stay there if he wasn’t happy, so what’s the problem?
If you read mel’s post you’ll see that’s what she says. It’s not that that’s the problem, it’s her current boyfriend.
Mel for what it’s worth I think you are right, but it sounds like you need to sit down and have a chat with your boyfriend. He has obviously come to appreciate those Saturday nights with just the two of you and wants to keep them. However he needs to understand that the arrangement that has been in place for the last 2 years is the one that stands, and that the last 2 months have been the exception because you, your ex and your son were happy with that. Your son staying at his dad’s on Saturday nights is really down to whether your son wants to stay there and also whether his dad wants him there….unless you and his dad decide to change the existing arrangements of course, but you sound like a caring enough mum that you would include your son in such discussions.
