I think this is why dating is so difficult and no one enjoys it. The fun gets sucked out of it when after two dates you already have to figure out if you are ok with exw staying with potential BF. There is ALWAYS stuff to deal with when getting to know someone is difficult within itself.
BTW lawyers love people like and laugh all the way to the bank when they get them as clients.
Well, let’s be real. We aren’t dating at 20 with minimal Responsibilities, baggage, etc. we are middle aged folks with kids, custody, divorce, all of that fun stuff. Dating is NOT all fun and games at this stage. As much as we say it should be fun and easy, how can it be all butterflies and rainbows with all of the complications mid life comes with .
The good news is, no fun was killed at all for me with that question.
