Thanks to everybody for weighing in on the question of Mr. Fantastic's looming mess. I agree and will hold my tongue and keep my distance.
WRT why my friend weighed in... His girlfriend was a friend of mine -- in fact, one of my old FB profile pics was a zoom of her & me cheek to cheek at a girls night. My friend mentioned having seen her out with all these guys and I asked about the timing, mentioning that he and she were dating. My friend asked to see a picture of Mr. Fantastic and said she'd never seen the girlfriend with him (which is funny, since EVERY OTHER PERSON in my town seems to have and then rushed to tell me about it...) Mr. F has been traveling a lot lately so....
Anyway, I'm trying hard to be the sane parent. New Guy is meeting the kids tonight at a Super Bowl party. I'm trying to keep it casual and have no intentions of making him a family member. But my kids know all my friends and I'd like to bring him further into my life. The only way to do that is for them to be aware of who he is when we do group stuff (like parties, etc.). I'm a little nervous about it, but they seem pretty cool about it so we'll see.
