TLDR: she told me the father is barely involved, but they talk twice a week. Is that inappropriate? I thought talking to an ex was on an as needed basis.
I’m (34m) in a relationship with a single mother (29f)who has full custody. She told me from the very beginning the father was barely involved and only saw his two children twice a month for two hours at a time. So we’re three months in and I find out they talk on the phone about twice a week as friends. I had no idea. She never told me they were close like that. I just thought once you broke up with someone and got in a relationship with a new person you were supposed to keep contact with an ex to an as needed basis. So I imagined she would be friendly while interacting involving their children, but not actually friends and talking just for fun. Am I wrong to feel hurt that she never told me how close they were?

Some people stay friends with exes. I’d still want contact with my husband to some degree if we got divorced. He’s my best friend and I don’t think that would go away
Edit: If it bothers you a lot it’s not too late to get out, you’ve only been dating 3 months
I would go before you get cheated on bro
