Unconditional Love 3 (mmf)

[missmyfriend]

ACJ, what a great post! I see a lot of clarity and I appreciate the direction because it can be so challenging knowing the right thing to do when you are the one right in the middle of it.

My kids do not have an issue whether I wear the ring or not because they know that I love their mother. I think it is more of an issue for me than anyone else.

It is a good question about the dating websites. While I do know some that have not only found the "right person" through these sites, I do know a large number of nightmares resulting from this approach. I agree that God would put the right person for us in our path and there is a time simply to trust and this is probably it.

I am glad you mentioned about no further discussion of a new partner with my children. I also was questioning if I handled it correctly with my son about his prayers because I don't want to cause him any more hurt than he has gone through already. Plus I want him to always include people that he loves in his prayers and not because he is worried about me.

I was reading the second to last paragraph and you are so on point with that comment. I don't want her to want me out of pity. This would be incredibly foolish of me and any restoration would be fleeting. Even if I don't date, I think that sharing that I may start dating allowed her to feel free. I will say that the more I have been kidding around with her and just acting like friends, the more she has reached out with the offers I mentioned.

Thank you very much.
