Learning and growing. Goal #1 - Don't get your kids attached. "Don't introduce them for 6-12mo" is a solid strategy and what I've always for the 11yrs since leaving my XW. My kids have met or heard about only two girlfriends in 11yrs. I've been a rather solid barrier. In 3 months, Ms. Sunshine's pressure never convinced me to introduce her to my kids.

She did get me thinking, though that a) sharing what your family looks like is helpful, b) seeing how your kids interact with a potential partner is helpful and c) if things get further, a bit of familiarity isn't a bad thing.

It's something I plan to research further. Learning and growing.
