[quote=Anonymous]He's being honest with you. If you're not looking to remarry soon, then give it some time and have more conversations. If you're not interested in more kids, or you actually are thinking you'd like to remarry sooner rather than later, then I would break up.

Here's why: I would have to be head over heels with a single parent before I would make that permanent. The longer you date, the more real it becomes that there's an ex out there who will always be in your lives, that your schedule is somewhat determined by that ex's schedule with the children, that the money in the household can never be fully combined because some is already committed to the pre-existing family, that you will never be a family "unit" in the same way the older children experienced.

For some people, none of that is a big concern. Those people don't usually say things like, "he had always envisioned himself marrying and having children with someone who, like him, had not done these things before. He tells me he loves me but that it's a lot to take on (being with a divorced woman with children)." They just take it on and roll with it.

I think he's telling you he might be pulling away. Whether you want to relax and find out is up to you and your timeline.[/quote]
