[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not going to work so enjoy the ride while it lasts.

[b]If I were you, I'd put this time and energy into becoming self-sufficient.  You are newly single and your child is very young. Now is not the time to jump into another relationship, which you may be tempted to do , considering your limited dating experience and marriage.  You are divorced without a real career; if your ex husband pays alimony, now is a great time to figure out how to stand on your own two feet financially.  I say this without bitterness.  Independence is a great feeling.[/b]  [/quote]

This.

OP, now is the time to figure out your financial footing. Unless you're getting a divorce settlement large enough that you won't have to ever work, then you need to figure out a career path. You're in the process of a divorce. Now isn't the time to jump into another relationship. It's the time to figure out how to stand on your own two feet, even if that includes a settlement large enough that you won't have to work. You'll still have your own money and budget to support yourself and your son.

I think this guy is a bad move because he's not responsible and seems to go from one co-dependent relationship to another. He doesn't have healthy boundaries and right now you need to focus on the best possible life for you and your son. That's too much of a deal breaker right there, not even getting into other issues like hobbies.

That said, ignore some of the misogynistic posts here. It looks like some posters want you to believe that no one worthy would ever want you. And being a college-educated SAHM married to a white collar worker doesn't equate to being blue collar. I'm married and work FT, so no dog in this fight.

Take care and I hope everything works out well for you and your son.
