You should gladly offer to watch your kids, and flatly refuse to let her stay at your place. Expect her to really ramp up the charm, too.
Absolutely!! ^^^^^
How many times have you said that the only reason you would consider (whatever she needed) was for your kids? How many times has the couch option came up when she didn't have a place, other than her parents? How would it affect the kids to have her stay with you awhile and then leave whenever another guy comes along, or she just leaves? Give them a home where they aren't in a state of anxiety wondering why she's there, or if it means you are getting back together, etc. She will impose in such a way as to screw up your GAL, happiness, peace, etc. Please don't go down that road.
I am so thrilled to hear you are happy. Keep doing what you were doing to find yourself again. ((hugs))
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
