[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a 46-yo, skinny, physically fit/active, working (tho not even close to the same income bracket as a BigLaw partner) mom of two elementary aged kids, considering a divorce.  I'm looking for a contentious-free home, companionship and love, since it's all missing in my current situation.  It just sounds so lob-sided from reading this thread.  I'd like my kids to have a male role model in the house, since I believe it's important and would rather not spend the next decade trying to secure this for my children.  [Read: may find it easier to deal with my internal requirements than sacrifice my kids opportunity to benefit from having a "dad" role model at home.] How difficult is the dating world for someone like me given what I'm hoping for in the future?

Why isn’t your children’s actual dad providing them with the benefits of a dad role model? That’s his job.

Stepkids resent stepdads and reject their authority. Are you going to support your new husband’s authority over your kids? Your kids will be mad at you if you do, your new husband will be mad at you if you don’t.

You’d have much better luck dating a guy while maintaining separate households than trying the Brady Bunch thing.[/quote]

I agree on the dating while maintaining separate households.  I'm not sure that dating ever works out while living under one roof, irrespective of whether you have a separation agreement ironed out.  It's tough.  I don't know anyone who has done that and haven't come across that on this forum either where someone is successfully doing this.  [/quote]
