Do you think the kids may benefit from some counseling to help them cope with the divorce and the possibility of a step dad in their future?
I remembered you did some dating a while back with a school teacher (after G27). Did you stop contact with her? I ask because I am at about the same point time wise as you in this and have started seeing a new gal. They say to wait 2 years before dating, but I dont feel like I am jumping the gun. I enjoy doing things by myself, but it sure is a lot funner with someone else that relates to you on a personal level.
