One giant leap forward! - Part 3

[PatientMan]

In regards to the time I spend just me and W. In this time do we stay away from any issues that might crop up?
No doubt they need to be addressed, but when?

I don't doubt we will be more successful in the dance/game if issues are kept out of it so when do we tackle them?
Set time aside not related to the dating time or just make a note and leave it until later or at MC?

I would definitely segregate "rekindling time" with "issue-sorting-out" time. Dates are dates. Time with kids is time with kids. Managing interpersonal relationship issues with a difficult history should be totally separate.

I'm not saying to absolutely avoid topics that may be brought up to the point where things become obviously uncomfortable, or to avoid those topics if it IS brought up and the talk is relatively light and amicable, so use your best judgement, but also the segregation guidelines. So like DB'ing, play it by ear, but with that general strategy in place.

IMHO,
