Positively moving forward

[ClingingToHope]

I think I'm going in opposite directions than you are. I was DESPERATE to find someone a couple of years ago. Now, I wouldn't mind it because it's comfortable to have someone to count on. But I'd hate -- at least right now -- having to weigh the needs of a GF against the needs/wants of my daughters.

My girls are 8 and 12 and they tug me in a lot of different directions. A 3-year-old pretty much enjoys anything, but that will change with time.

Someday, he'll be 6 and he won't want to go to the OP's outing, he'll want to play with legos at home. Then XH will have to make a decision, his wants against her wants.

How big is the town you live in? Smaller towns have limited opportunities. My area is about 350,000 people and I still feel like EVERYONE is married.
