I'm honestly not looking forward to trying to find someone that meets my ideas of a partner, AND wants to be involved in the circus that is my life with 3 kids.
Just want to throw this out there.
The girl I am seeing is adamant that my kids from the marriage are a "bonus" to dating me. Like that they add a special dynamic to our relationship because she gets to spend time with me, time with them, and time as "us" all together. I always pictured my situation as being one with a ton of difficulties - 50% parenting of two children and minimal babysitting opportunities. But honestly, I never found it difficult to find time. And you know whats actually? The women I have gone out with have, to a one, said that there is nothing they find more attractive than a man that is a good father to his children.
Also, I noticed that my 'needs' in a partner are a lot different than 15 years ago. I have learned much of what I want and DONT want out of a partner by going through this. I will not be back here again.
