I think you really have to think about the longer term and how you transition in that time frame. The arrangement might work today, or for 6 months, but what about 12 months, 2 years, 5 years? At some point in time you are going to have to change your arrangement, and the younger the child is when it happens I would think it's better as it gets tougher for kids to change as they get older. If you've been to counselling, surely a counseller can make this woman understand that at some point the two of you won't be living together, but will have to be able to share time with your son.

Essentially I would echo what K-Town is saying...if this woman has a reasonable bone in her body certainly she should understand this too.
