For what it's worth, I've been pretty curt today too. I don't have to leap to the bait just because he's in the mood to engage. I am not Plan B.
With three kids, we never did trick or treat together. So that part's ok for me.
I also didn't want to imagine a stepdad for my kids. But I have a friend who divorced her H when her little one was four. She met a great new guy right away and has been dating him for five years -- the first three without her kids even knowing. Now things are super serious, and the kids are participating in that part of her life. I think it's a lot more organic a process for her than just finding a random guy off the street to be a stepdad. that's how I want it to be if that's the path my life takes. The idea of really taking my time to develop the relationship appeals.
Happy Halloween!
