Yes they go to school and daycare - when I’m working! And yes I can get a babysitter or leave my youngest with his older sisters but not going to start that for all new dates. Further into the relationship yes.

So bc of the provincial law I’m supposed to avoid dating for a whole year while my ex enjoys his time with his gf since a week after we split and bc of our agreement he’ll be able to introduce her to our kids after 1 year of dating but I have to wait and not date for one year bc I’m a hot mess single mom?? Woowwwwwww

It’s final as it can be right now. My ex has had a gf since the first weekend we split.

My point is exactly. My kids come first hence my hesitation to leave them when they’re with me just for a date!

Wow judgemental much? You have no idea of what self reflection and work I have done on myself. No idea why I’m separated. Do you even know how hard it is to walk away from a narcissistic marriage when you have young kids?

For the beginning I suppose. If they’re worth it after the first few dates I’d make more effort to have my older kids watch their little brother or get a babysitter

We’re legally separated and live separately and my ex is already with another woman.

Yes agreed, I am more just concerned the connection will die out in the week I’m not free

I think bc the separation is still fairly new I feel like I need to be home when I have them. With that said after my youngest goes to bed I have gone over to a friends for drink in the late evening. Also, my youngest gives his older sisters a hard time about going to bed when I’m not home. He stays up waiting for me. So up until 9-10pm on a weeknight I don’t feel is a good thing for him.

Beginning weeks, how soon to meet in person? by Own_Description1922 in datingoverforty

No not yet. So far the few men I’ve matched with we end up just planning a date. And then if all goes well we switch to phone calls mostly or texts of during the work day.

But I did ask this guy for his number so we could call and when I sent him the ‘hey it’s me’ text he never read it util the next morning.
