[quote=Anonymous]I am a widow in a serious relationship and I get where you are coming from. My kids are teenagers, and I promised them that I wouldn't cohabitate or remarry while they are minors. If I do move in or marry my new SO, I will make sure that my kids are financially protected. It helps that they get along with each other, but my kids' stability is most important. I do get sad sometimes that I can't have that whirlwind romance that I had when I was young, but frankly, I am making better decisions because of it. The only way this works is if the other person is on-board with your limitations. My SO would love the freedom to have a carefree relationship but agrees that my kids need to come first. They also have their own independent life that they enjoy and don't want to totally give up, so it works for us for now. Good luck - it isn't easy but you are doing the right thing. [/quote]
