[quote=Anonymous]I have been in a serious relationship with my gf for 8 months now. She is great. However I feel bad that I don't get to spend time with her as much as she would want to. We have a 5-2-5-2 schedule with my ex wife. In theory on the weeks I have my kids only twice I should be able to see her more often. Unfortunately both my kids are athletes and have quite a few extracurricular activities as well that I need to them to even on the days I don't have them. And with my son we have to fly at least once a month for his completions. My ex wife will not take them to their activities even on the days she has them. If I don't do it nobody will and thats a shame. Even when we were married that was the dynamics she is the version of men that women complain about here.

My girlfriend is understanding, but I can feel her disappointment as she has even expressed that she wants to see me more. She was single for 2 years before we met. She doesn't want kids of her own and that's why I really want to make this relationship work. We talk every night text throughout the day but she wants more of that physical contact. And I have a demanding job as well. I am a consulting actuary and work long hours and travel as well.

Some days I wish she could just broke up with me because I feel like she deserves someone who has more free time especially at her age. She is only 36 and I am 46.

Any divorced man or woman in a similar situation? How did it work in the long term?

I can't do the FWB thing sorry. Having a long term relationship with someone just for sex that's for other people. I am not judging anyone. To each his or her own. If that's the only option I have as a divorced person then I'll just stay single. [/quote]
