Advice on dating Divorced dads? I am dating a divorced man who has 2 small children. I know some background information on him as well(plays softball with cousin) and not to go into details of his previous marriage, but he wasn't at fault, and to top it off he has a crazy ex. Im keeping this quiet, its only been a month, and I know when she finds out who i am and that I am dating her ex she is going to attempt to cause trouble for me. My question however is, he is now NEW to the dating scene again, we're both looking for the same thing: Long term relationship/marriage/kids, he seems a bit rusty in the dating area which is understandable. How do I work with this? Im trying to learn how to adjust to the fact that his schedule changes ALL the time where he has 50/50 of the kids and is going to be receiving full custody as well. Any advice? Has anyone dated a divorced father to have it actually last? What steps did you take? I can assure he's not sleeping with his ex. He has a restraining order on her, and I actually am aware of the "truth" im friends with her niece. Her parents, siblings and other relatives have refused to have any contact with her now because of the things she has done to herself, how its affected her kids and everything else. He told me he was looking for something serious before we met. I met him through my cousin and started talking on the phone with him. We haven't even had sex or anything yet. Well, thats why im keeping everything quiet, we both agree that its best. I haven't even met his children, nor do I agree it to be appropriate to go over there and meet them yet until things really develope. My questions was REALLY revolved around advice on dating a divorced guy, not the ex.

my rents are divorced and my dads dating agian and it makes my lil bro uncomfortable, and he always tells me? that. but hes only nine, and i mean i want my dad to be able to date and i dnt have a problem with that, but i dnt want my brother to feel akward all the time you know?? soo what should i do

Dating a divorced dad...help!!? Ok, so I met this guy a while back, come to find out he plays softball with my cousin and hangs out with him a lot, so this already made me feel a little "weird" (only because I always think ahead and possibilities of things not working or whatever). Anyways, I ended up going on a date with him, and it was an instant click. We have been dating, and Im still learning to adjust with his schedule of him having 50/50 custody of his kids, and he's going for full custody. LONG story about the crazy ex with an extensive list of massive issues. I have been keeping the fact of dating him quiet, because of his ex and I do not care for any troubling issues that she may provoke. I really like this guy! He hasn't dated a lot, and that was my worry from the begining..im looking for a serious relationship, to settle down, have kids etc. He's already been down that road and most divorced fathers are looking to "play the filed" or live the single life to say. He stated clear cut that he wants more kids and to get married again. He is opening up more and more to me, and is very respectful of not being completely physical right off. However, he is ALWAYS asking if I am sure I am interested in him? And he always stating to just be honest with him. I believe the reason he asks if I am interested, is because I am having a difficult time reaching out to touch him and initiate that field, I feel like if I do that, then I am letting my guard down, and that scares me too. I guess what I am asking is: How do I handle dating a divorced dad and reach out to him more? He was honest in admitting that he is new and is learning to date, and said he promised he would get better. Any advice on dating divorced fathers, getting close to them, and advice on how to show him i really do like him ?? Actually, I haven't met the kids, we've only be dating for a month, and i want to make sure its something thats going to last or move further before his kids are involved, I love kids, but I don't want to create that sense of instant change as he was just divorced not long ago. My main focus is spending time with him when he isnt with his kids right now which is fine with both of us. He is new the dating scene and he is just hard to read sometimes and then the next completely easy to read. How do you re-introduce someone into the dating world I guess??

How do I tell my kids that their divorced dad is started dating? I have two kids, 18 and 14, and they live with their Mom. I have met someone and have begun dating. I know that it will be a tough adjustment, but I want to figure out what language I should use. I want them to know that the time I spend with them will not diminish, that I will always love them, and that the person I am with does not replace their mother. It's not my intent to have a revolving door of new women on a regular basis.

Thinking about dating a divorced dad. Any advice? He had his daughter when he was young and she recently turned 18. His daughter is the #1 priority in his life, and I understand - he's a great dad & is responsible. We've expressed that we've both thought about what'd happen if we started dating & there is mutual interest, but he's in the tail-end of the process of getting his life back in order (he got divorced ~5 yrs ago). He says that he's almost paid off his debts and once that happens, we'll give dating a go. BTW, I live in a state where things are subject to community property (50/50), which bites. I've never been married and never dated a divorced guy before, but I can imagine it's more frustrating than he says it is with the alimony payments, etc. He always wants to put himself in the best light with me and never seems bitter or resentful, but that also means that I'm kind of left in the dark w/ how hard divorce can be. I just want to know the reality of the situation so I can move on if necessary rather than wait.

Single, never married dating a divorced dad spends alot of time with ex? Im single late20s,never married dating a divorced dad devoted to his young child. Glad he's a good dad but i feel like im always last to know about plans. He often at last minute notifies me he has to cancel our plans cuz has to pickup his kid even tho he mightve known days in advance. Only met his kid a few times. Ex-wife doesn't know i exist (I imagine she's very nice but really have no idea). He talks/emails/texts his ex everyday - all Private conversations. Once he canceled lunch suddenly..After prodding him he finally confessed he had lunch with ex to talk about their child. Why did he have to hide it from me? Ive always known they sometimes do lunch/dinner together. That's 2nd time he lied about eating w/her. Also he said he was going on week disneyvacation w/ his kid (i found she went too) & he never told me. Im sure they sharedhotel.Its like theyre dating but not living together anymore. Im tryin to be understanding but am i naive? Says he loves me & wants to marry me someday?

Dating a divorced dad...? What should I say or do when people assume / view me as my boyfriend's son's mother? Like when we went out the other day, someone said "What would you want to get for mommy?" another said "Parents are free." My boyfriend is a divorced father of his 3 yr. old son. He said to me on our first time out with him and his son, "wow, that's 2 people already that thought you were his mommy." I didn't answer back, but it does feel awkward for me and I've never been in this situation before and don't know what to say or do? Have any of you dated a divorced dad and went out and had the same problem? How did u deal with it? I want people to not assume that just bc I'm with a dad and his son that I'm the "mommy."

Dating a divorced dad.....advice? I'm dating a really great & amazing guy, but I'm starting to wonder if his past is really going to cause issues along the road. He got divorced 5 years ago & has a 5 year-old from that previous marriage. She lives in a different state, but he still maintains a close relationship with her. He's a great father & I've met his daughter. She's a bright little girl. His ex-wife, however, is NOT so great. She's a very bitter woman who does nothing but create tension & argues with my bf all the time about their daughter. I understand that it's inevitable.... It's just been hard on me, because everytime they have an argument, my bf gets in a really bummer mood. I try my best to cheer him up & give him his space, but it doesn't seem to help. I don't know how to handle it, because it doesn't make me feel so grand. He gets distant & then I'm tempted to put up my wall to protect myself from getting hurt. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Help/advice please? Just another tid-bit. My boyfriend has a very kind-hearted & quiet-mannered personality. I've heard their arguments...he's 99% of the time very calm & never raises his voice. If he's agitated, he'll tell her to call back rather than yell at her right then. He really wants to have a normal relationship with his ex for the sake of his daughter...it's just that his ex doesn't reciprocate. & this keeps popping up so I'll point it out now, he doesn't ever voluntarily call his ex. He calls his daughter at least 3 times a day & sometimes the ex jumps in on the phone. The only time he speaks to her is when this happens & when it is related to his daughter.

My dad and mom are divorced. My dad is dating a teacher where he works. How do I treat her if they get married?

Dating divorced man with two kids for 2 months. He enjoys my company but is not sure if I am his girlfriend.? We had this conversation last night and he said he really enjoys my company and thinks I'm good at communicating (unlike his ex wife) but that he was not sure if I am his girlfriend yet and says he's confused if he is really ready to be in an exclusive relationship again. I then asked him if I should then date other people, he asked, "Do you want to?" I told him the truth and said no I do not. He said he didn't want me dating other people, too. That he didn't want to date other people also. Then he confuses me even more when he said he was just happy the way we were... ie we don't see each other that often (maybe once a week) and he said he thinks "I'm hinting" whenever I say things like I really like him... that kinda hurt my feelings hearing that. I do like him and think he's quite lucky to have me because I accept him for who he is (a divorced dad with two kids). He said he realizes this and that he finds it hard to date any one who doesn't get turned off by his divorce. I've never been married. I'm 31 and he's 34. He's been divorced more than two years now. I'm thinking... what should I do? Sometimes I feel like I should bail (not because of him being divorced or having kids) but because of his indecisiveness. He's not introduced me to his kids, but he has introduced me to one of his good friends who liked me. On Saturday, he will be meeting some of my family members for the first time and I'm thinking... how am I going to introduce him? In my heart, he's my boyfriend... but I do recognize that there are things missing in the relationship.

Do I have any hope that the divorced Dad I was dating will come back to me? I dated a man that I work with for a month. He's a divorced Dad of two kids, and has some serious emotional baggage that he is still dealing with. He told me up front that he didn't want to get married again, or have anymore kids, but his actions were saying different, so I gave it a chance. I fell in love with him quickly and hard, but then found out that he was still seeing another woman on the side, and was dishonest about his whereabouts a few times. I wouldn't tolerate that, and when I asked him if he wanted to end it, he bolted for the door, and now I'm hurting. Is there any chance that he'll change his mind and come back, or what do I do to get over him?

divorced dad just back in the "dating scene" need advice? I have JC of 2 girls(4 and 6) that are my world and spend as much time as i can with them(3 or more days a week)I would like to find someone to marry again but my children will allways be #1.So here is my question is it better that i find/pursue someone who has children too or someone who does not?I would like to hear pros and cons for both from people.

Single/Divorced dads- was I wrong? For 7 months, I've been dating a dad. He called me about a heated argument he and the ex got into because she wanted more $'s & threatened to take him back to court. I just listened. Later when we saw each other, I was trying to be helpful and offer different ways he could deal with her in the future to avoid the heated, power struggle arguments. I was trying to be helpful so that may he wouldn't have to get so stressed out the next time. The long and short of it: he told me I should have no opinion because it doesn't impact me or affect my life at all. He said he was venting as a "friend" and that didn't entitle me to anything. I told him then don't call and vent to me as a "friend" if you don't want help, advice or suggestion from a "friend". I really don't make a habit of offering unsolicited advice or opinions and had no ill intentions. Just recognized that he was upset and was hoping to offer him other ways to cope. Was I really so wrong?

Say you have a boy and girl dating and the girl has a divorced mom and the boy has a divorced dad and....? The divorced mom and dad (parents of the boy and girl) get married and hence, the boy and girl are step brother and step sister. Would that mean they would have to stop dating because it would be too weird cuz they were related?

How do I date a divorced dad? I have been seeing my boyfriend for 2.5 years and we are the loves of each others lives. But when "issues" arise with his daughter/ex i become insane! I don't have kids and never have been married but can't stop thinking about how i will forever be #2 wife with #2 kids in the future! It's terrible for me to feel like this, but i can't stop it and need help! Any advice for swallowing my pride and accepting my place in his life? I know that kids come first AND that he loved me unquestionably, but has anyone experienced this situation who can offer advice on how to cope? I don't want to feel this way about the man i love...

Normal not dating and divorced? I live alone. I have a 2 and a half year old. I am trying to finish a degree, work full time and strart over after a divorce. Am I normal not trying to find another partner right now? Am I suppose to be finding another dad for my little guy? I mean I get lonely but I go to sleep after getting everything done and wake up in the same routine.\ I have to get financially independent and concentrate on the little guy. But is this socially normal?

I hate when my mum(and dad) dates other people(divorced parents).What sould I do? My mum knows it and i have already told her but she doesn't seem to actually do anything. She just sais "I am going to say the same things when you want to date". (I'm 13) but she doesn't think that I don't have a child to be upset of. I know it doesn't sound right and she is too young to stay alone for the rest of her life but i can't help it: i hate it every time! I also don't want to meet her boyfriends because i get upset, but when she doesn't tell me i feel betrated from her and i feel like she is lying, which she is!

Thoughts on divorced women (with kids) dating ? A thought is that when a woman divorces that she should'nt date and solely focus on raising the kids. I was married 20+ yrs, peacefully divorced 4 yrs. I'm age 50, three kids (two teens and one off to college). Adjustment to divorce is fine with all now...shared custody...kids have great relationship with both parents. When I date a I don't open the environment for any man to meet my kids till I know more of him and have the wonder if there will be a potential relationship building. Yet, some (society) have the thought of "Why are you dating, you should be focusing on your kids". When married, I had a relationship with a man (their dad) and still raised my the kids. Is a woman to put her heart on hold simply because divorce had happened ? Honest, even blunt, answers welcomed. Open to all opinions for insight.

For people with divorced parents: How did you deal with your parent dating again? My parents have been divorced for about a year and my dad is just now starting to date. But the weird part about it is that he's interested in the ex-wife of the man my mom married..if that makes any sense at all..?? If you have had a parent start to date again..how did you feel and what did you do?

Dating a divorced woman? This Christian woman has been divorced twice. Her 2nd divorce was 5yrs ago. I met her in church about 2yrs ago. I was interested in the beginning. I asked her out and she said yes. She was supposed to call me back when she got back from Christmas Vacation of 2006 but didnt. I never pushed or asked why. I went on just being me. Six months later we developed some chemistry and I tried again. This time it went great for 2months. We talked on phone for hours. Then she started to run away from the relationship when things starting going good. Now the last 3 months. We have decided to be friends, She felt like there was pressure on her to even casually date. I think I figured out! She is not ready for any relationship and she advised me it would drive her up the wall if I went out with someone. I have her told before that I could see me spending the rest of my life with her. I am 38yr old male she is 34. At church I sit with her & son and her Dad. She missed church last Saturday night. I left a voicemail for her Sunday Morning. I have not heard from her in 10days. Please tell me what she might be thinking? she is a nurse and hardly has time to date. She lives with Mom and Stepdad. So if she goes anywhere they have to take care of her son or her Dad does who lives a few miles away from her. She works late nite 12 and half hour shifts. Please offer any advice. She also has told me she could see me with her and she thinks we were moving to fast for her. She said she could see me being involved with her on 3 levels and they are all there. Spiritually, Emotionally and Physically. I have never been married but she stated how important it would be to resolve conflict as we got to know each other more and more. She was the first one who said I love you. I feel like being patient for a few more months. I don't see any girl that I really want to date right now.

I need advice on dating after divorce...? Okay, here's the deal. This advice is not for me, it is for my mom. My parents were married 19 years and then divorced. My dad has had no trouble dating and moving on, but my mom can not seem to pull herself into the whole dating scene. She has no self-confidence after the divorce and she does not realize all of the things she has to offer; great personality, sense of humor, looks, etc. The thing is, being her oldest daughter, I have always been like her rock. Now she is coming to me asking what she should do and where she should go to meet men, besides bars. I am only 20 and I have no idea how older people (she is 40) meet and date. Any advice for her?

Am I insane to think about dating men who are divorced with kids? I've had bad relationships in the past. My family's torn apart since my dad has a mistress and a kid. It's hard for me to fall in love and to trust these single men. Sometimes I think that if I dated divorced men with a kid, they will be somewhat more responsible, mature, and I for myself don't want to have my kids. What do you think and is it true that men will be more responsible, family oriented after a divorce?

Would you approve of your 19 year daughter, unemployed and living at home, dating a 35 year old divorced dad? You are only 3 years older than him, her dad is not in the picture, and he has 3 kids and an ex wife, one child who is only a year younger than your daughter, the youngest in kindergarten. Would you approve or would you think a middle aged man was preying on a girl who is not fully developed mentally? This is going on with a girlfriend of mine, and she gave her blessing, she said she "adores" this guy. She works with him and says he's a genuinely nice guy with a good heart. She said he came to her asking for her blessing because he wanted her approval first because this girl is "the one". I could never, never approve of that, when she talks about her daughter with him it makes me sick. Personally I think he should know better, and she is too young, technically legal or not, to know what she wants in life.

my parents are divorced and i hate my mom because shes and alcholic? my parents are divorced and now my dads dating new people and i told him it bothers me because i live with my grandma and i never see him now and he has pictures of him with other people all the time and it makes me really upset because i dont talk to anyone else in my family and i dont no wut to do now

Should I let my dad start dating after a divorce? ? So my dad got a divorce a few months ago, he's kinda sad, but he wants to start dating again, he's asking me, but i dunno what to do. Can somebody please help? He thinks very highly of my of my opinion, and plus he asked me so I really dunno what to do.

Dating a divorced man with two young children. What to expect? He's been divorced over two years. His kids are aged six and four. He's 34 and I'm 31. He said he and his ex wife keep a pretty civil relationship for the kids' sake (she cheated on him that's why they broke up). He does have certain trust issues with women (understandable considering what his ex did to him). He's a great dad and seems to really like me. We've only dated 3 months and taking things slow. I've never been married and have no children of my own. Sometimes he seems confused about dating... he sounds like he would like to date other women sometimes, and other times he can't get enough of me. Is the see-sawing of thinking this way normal for divorced guys? What do I expect? He also has not introduced me to his kids but I don't really think of that as a big deal. He has however already met my family and gets along great with them.

How do I date a divorced dad? Some background on me. I had a 4 year relationship and was engaged to be married. I realized that the guy wasn’t the one for me and after soaking in all the information from the previous relationship I realized how important sacrifice, communication and honesty is in relationship. After that, I didn’t think it was in the books for me or possible to find someone who makes you feel alive. So, I met this guy through a dating service who was divorced with 2 yr old child (daughter) who lives in another state. I immediately thought, don’t even think about, this man has baggage. But, something about his response made me tick. I took the chance and replied. Needless to say, we hit if off. We started sending each other e-mail the size of novels, texting like maniacs, spending 5-6 hours on the phone together every day and now we have gotten to the point were we spend (every other) weekend with each other. Funny thing, the moment I met him, I knew I was in love and when I feel this way I turn all my emotions and actions at full speed ahead. I can feel him responding in the same way and he has even told me he has never felt this way before. I have already told him the “3” magic words and he hasn’t yet. I find myself rushing into things and pushing for things to move faster only to realize that he realizes “this is real” and I may be pushing him away. I think he is proceeding with caution because of the fact that he was hurt before and is afraid to open to me. Also, I have never been married nor do I have kids. So, all these rules are being instigated into my life. Like, I can only see on certain weekends or you have to wait so long to meet my daughter. And in all honesty, I understand all of them and respect them. It’s just hard, I really want this to work. My question is, how do I slow down when I’m in love? How do respect the boundaries of an individual who went through hell when all I want to is to take all the pain they went through away and make them happy? I have never been in this situation and I’m not a very good dater, how do I enjoy just being “in a relationship” and not “a couple.”

Divorced dad with 2 children? I am 34 years old, single, no children, good-looking with a good job, nice home, lots of friends, interests and I am currently studying by evening for my masters. I meet men easily but never the right guy. I am currently dating a divorced dad with 2 children who are 9 and 2 years old. He is only 29 years old. He got married to his ex because she became pregnant. He felt obliged to stay for the child but never really loved her. Then she had a second child, again against his will (she lied to him about taking the pill). He works as a baggage handler at the airport and she has a low paid job also so they couldn't really afford a second child. Lot of problems continued after having the second child and they ended up divorcing. Then I met him and we fell in love. I love him deeply but he has absolutely no money. He lives in a room and the children come to stay with him there every second weekend. He is really good to them. He says he loves me and would like to have a child with me in the future. However, I would have to pay for any children we have 100% as he has no money. I currently own a 2 bed apartment. If we wanted to have a child, I would have to buy a house and it would be me who would have to pay the mortgage almost fully. What should I do? I love him but the whole situation is complicated. I have one other question if I ever married him (and our incomes were combined) would he be forced to pay more alimony to his ex wife? Do you think I am still young enough to find a sinlge man with less baggage. He can't afford to take me out, go to restaurants or buy me flowers. I always pay for him when I take him out. Do you think even if I love him I will grow to resent him in this situation? Would our combined incomes be taken into account for child support if I married him? I don't think that is fair as I want to have enough money to pay for my own child. He is a great guy who truly loves me deeply. I don't mind paying for him now and again. He works hard and I am trying to help him get a better job so that he has more money to pay for his children. I met his ex-wife. She told me that she regrets having trapped him and having the second child. She sometimes locks the 2 year old in a room for hours when he gets too noisy. I think this is outrageous. She asked her daughter to ask me how much I earn. I just don't think I should be in this situation.

How do i deal with my parents dating others...? ok here's the story My mom and dad got divorced when I was little, my mom got married then my dad too. Mom got divorced then has been dating for a while and her current boyfriend I DO NOT like at all, he doesn’t like me either. Just recently my dad got divorced and I’m worried that he’ll start dating and it will be just like at my moms. FYI I love my parents but at my mom’s I don’t like it very much because HE’S(the boyfriend) is there a LOT and I can’t enjoy myself he just makes me very miserable (my mom hates this and therefore is angry at me) ,anytime he is there I want to find someplace far away from there or something. I don’t want to live my life like this at my dad’s too. I usually find seclusion and peace in reading (I read about 4-5 books a month at least) and it works ok. So my question is how do I deal with my parents dating. (sorry if I seem selfish or something)

How To Date a Divorced Dad? You really can't believe your luck. A handsome man, well built, great smile, is smiling right at you. The two of you strike up a brief conversation while in line for lattes. He's witty, charming, and obviously interested in you. He asks if you're free for dinner tomorrow night. Well, you are now! You write down your number on his coffee cup and float off and into the rest of your day. He picks you up on time and takes you to a restaurant you've been dying to try. Over appetizers, you two flirt and laugh. You toast to chance meetings. During the main entrees, you switch to more serious topics, work, politics, growing up. You both stay away from the cursed past relationships. Who wants to hear about that on a first date? By dessert, you're gazing into his eyes and playing footsies with him under the table. Oh yes, you think, this man has definitely got your number, all right...then his phone rings. He looks at it, then excuses himself for a moment to take the call.

I work in a preschool as a classroom assistant. Will I get fired for dating the divorced father of a student? I have been working in a day care/preschool center for about 6 months while I go to school to be a teacher. I am a classroom assistant. For the past 3 months or so, I have had a 'crush' on one of the students in my class's dad. The dad is divorced. I didnt think the crush would lead anywhere. However, the dad goes out to clubs and is friends with a bunch of my friends from the center. We would see each other out, he would buy me drinks...etc. One night last week, after hanging out after the club, we ended up kissing. Since then we have been talking and have hung out a few times. We have real feelings for each other and want to try for a relationship. I want to know what the rules are. Could I legally be fired for pursuing this relationship? I have every intention of keeping a professional attitude at work, and not showing any preferencial treatment to his son. He doesnt want things to get serious if it could affect my job. Another thing is age difference. He is 38 and I am 22...

Dad is getting divorced again, and dating a childhood friend of my mother (his 1st wife) Is he a cad? My dad and mom divorced when I was 12. It devastated me and my mom. I don’t think I ever got over the feeling of abandonment. He also left my mom for another woman who was the mom of my childhood friend! Apparently, they were sneaking around for about 4 years. I never really forgave my father for what he did, but when I had kids, I wanted them to know their grandfather. My wife also opened my eyes to the fact that the woman he married was really a good person so I let him back in. We never really lost touch, but I built a mental wall between us and we were never that close. My father (who is now in his 70’s) has now left this wife who he has been with for 40 years. We were not proud of his decision, but about 6 months ago he moved to a new apartment. After a short while, he decided paying rent was a waste of money and decided to buy a condo. We all started to think a new girlfriend was in the picture. What else could be the reason for his behavior? My mother also started to get very depressed which is not like her. When we asked what the matter was, she refused to tell us. A few weeks ago, my father insisted he bring someone who was “in town” to a family function. He said he could not attend if she did not come. The woman came, but neither admitted to any relationship other than being old friends. Afterwards, I asked my mother who this person was and she told me. This woman is the new woman in my father’s life and was a childhood friend of hers. Not her best friend, but one of their circle of friends who all grew up together. Most of them still keep in touch with each other. Most of our friends and family are very upset about this. How could he hurt my mother again? The first time he left her for another woman. Now he gets involved with a childhood friend of theirs? My father thinks there is nothing wrong and we should all get over it. Surprisingly, there are a few people who agree with him. Who is right in this? Are we being too sensitive? I am ready to tell my father to leave and never come back. Am I overreacting? What is your opinion?
