First things first, the reference to west side story....SUPER GAY...just saying........


T2, reality is that you have the luxury of not having all of the associated guilt with your kids. You are dating a man the proper way, post divorce, no luggage attached.

This is normal, your life moves on and guess what, it gets to move on guilt free. Your life was on hold for a long time, you didn't do anything crazy around the kids because of that. Your not taking time away from them, you are living an open life with them involved with new people in your world. That is a good thing.

My big thing, to many of us tend to try and own our ex's guilt by placing the same rules and regulations on ourselves. It doesn't really work that way. If our ex's robbed a bank, we would not do their time for them so why should we because they did not honor their marital commitment?

Anyways, that's my 2 cents....actually only 1 cent...I am unemployed

Thanks Ian. I appreciate the advice. it really helped set my mind at ease.

Friday night my oldest daughter sat and had a really good conversation with bf and me. I think this taking it slow stuff really helps her and her sister accept things better. I will continue on down this path as it seems to be working pretty good.

Oh and btw...no thanks to you guys for giving me the mental picture of Ian being a giver. I probably could have gone my whole life without that. \:\)

I would have thought the image of Jack being a taker would be harder to deal with, but what do I know.......

Thanks for stopping by beginners....I am so far away on this forum that no one makes it here very often. LOL!!! I tend to stay in MLC forum with everyone else.

I have had a few bumps in the road but am doing well. I am moving on and enjoying my life.
