Col1 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 A childless single adult seems to have extra to deal with when involved in a serious relationship with a divorced parent: -ex calling about children and communication -ex visiting during drop-off and pick-up of children -ex's in-laws (grandparents and siblings) at sports, recitals, and school events - planning quality time together as a couple around custody agreements Even if there is no drama, there is some awkwardness for the new partner. Is this true or not necessarily true?
Hopeless80 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I think it's true for the most part. There was a guy that I liked a while back who was in a serious long term relationship with kids involved. It took me a while to get over him and move on, but at the time I was considering how a relationship with him would work. I KNEW that his kids would always come before me and even though I understood that, I wasn't ok with it. I mean it's just not what I wanted out of a relationship. Based on that, I knew "we" never would've worked out anyway.
Otty Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 It's something many men must deal with if they want to date, especially if they are over 30. Most women who are divorced have children and many women who don't marry by their mid to late 20s have out of wedlock children. Plus, many women who hit 30 and don't fall under either of these descriptions are concentrated on their career and don't have the time or energy to be a true partner in a relationship.
