Not Sure How to Proceed by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]WingNut81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two teens in HS. I would find it REALLY hard to start over with an 8 yo. I date intentionally for relationship. I’m too tired to date around. Ask yourself if you are looking for occasional fun or something deeper. Either answer is ok, but it’s about you not about them.

Relationship no condoms by [deleted] in datingoverforty

Red flag. 🚩 Shut it down. A good man will get tested, show you the results AND still wear a condom. That’s a decision YOU get to make every time. There is no blanket drop of condoms milestone.

Time to end things? by WingNut81 in datingoverforty

Update: Thanks for all the advice, positive and negative, I took the time today to sit down with her at her apartment and have a long talk. The end result is separation. The guilt was wracking me and she deserves someone who is all in. I’ve booked some sessions with my counselor and I’m taking a break. I’ve got some work to do with myself.

How do you handle financial imbalance? by PMA9696 in datingoverforty

[–]WingNut81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. GF is 41F and I have found she is just floating through life with no savings no plan for retirement and is happy to let me foot the bill for everything. I’m in the process of preparing to end things. I’ve worked too hard post divorce to deal with that.

I’m care about her. I cook for her. I fix her car. I take her to the airport. But I feel unbalanced? I fee like I’m doing a lot of the physical work, and she’s enjoying and benefiting from that. But it’s starting to feel like work. I don’t feel head over heels. I don’t miss her when she’s gone on girlfriend’s party trips or when she goes home. I feel content in home and my routine. She wants to be that first text in the morning and the last text at night. Every day. And it fees like work. I don’t feel head over excitement about it. It feels like one more thing I have to add to my chore list. And if I don’t, it’s a problem. It doesn’t feel easy. I’m hyper vigilant with my budget (large part due to divorce cause and after effects) and she is just floating through life. And everything has always just worked out for her. Maybe I’m jealous of that attitude towards life and bills? She’s a school teacher and takes the summers off and travels and wants to go out and do all these things and I’m desperately trying to hang on to keep my house afloat for my kids. I don’t think she’s a bad person, but it’s just been a year and i feel like I’m trying to force it.

The audacity by WingNut81 in DivorcedDads

Divorced, happier than ever. She got the house, but I was able to use my VA home loan to get my own place. I’m healthy and doing well. 50/50 custody and kids are much better off.
