PWSX3 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Just a short background, was married for 28 years, former wife filed for divorce after 6 years of her moving out, us getting back together, then she left for good last August. We have a 19 yr. old son who lives with me & in the year we have been apart he has only seen her a handful of times & she only lives 20 miles away. Took divorce care class at a local church last Sept. and it ended after Thanksgiving. Met a really nice gal in class but after they were over never did anything with her except emails until Feb. and we went out once, then in march started to go out a few times & now we are dating. She has two boys one 10 (in Dec.) and the other 17. In the last month or so her 10 yr old has really started to get attached to me, every week on Friday he has to write his mom a letter on the things they did in school that week & last week he asked if I wanted to read it. This Friday when we (me & my son) went over (we spend the weekends at her place) before I could hardly get in the door he was asking if I wanted to read his letter? Last night I just stopped in on my way home to say hi & before I left he wanted to play a song for me that he learned in school..... Me & the G/F are getting along great, but if things don't go well & we break up I don't want to hurt those boys hearts or mine son for that matter. My question is; How many other people have been dating or have a blended family & how hard is it? I know in my classes I have learned it will be one of the hardest things I'll do. Has anyone ever dated a person with kids then break up with them & see how much it hurts the kids?????? Both of us hope & pray that our relationship will work, but after going thru one divorce I will make sure before getting married again. Thanks
