On the blended family front....what a coincidence, my oldest stepdaughter called me earlier today because she misses me....she wants to grab a bite to eat with me and her sister (stepdaughter 2) tonight ....how is that? So I have been there and done that and it was great.....I love them both almost as much as my own D8.....but I do not have the energy to do it again. The new GF will have to accept that.....I am at an age where I think I can have a meaningful relationship without assuming any more responsibilities. I am very sorry but this is how I feel today. I do not know why I am apologizing....some may opine that I am not really in love with new GF if i am not willing to live together.....in that case, I am not sure that I am. I do not consider the new GF to be an F Friend and I would want it to develop into something more but not into another marriage...with or wothout the papers.
