[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm divorced with no kids.  He shares custody and seems like a great involved father, but I haven't met his kids bc we both felt it was best to not get involved in their lives unless we could see getting married.  We are now at that point, but before I dive in I want to make sure I understand what life would be like if we ultimately got married. Fwiw is kids are early elementary and we would plan on having a kid together.  His ex was not thrilled about the divorce but is not a crazy person - they have an ok relationship

Tell me everything I should know to go in eyes wide open[/quote]

Run as fast as you can.  There will be resentment from kids, ex wife and your life will be HELL.[/quote]

It depends. OP needs to make sure he would put her first if they marry. And how all the logistics would work.

Actually bringing up hypothetical situations and how they both would handle them isn't a bad idea. A friend of mine divorced her husband after 12 years because he wouldn't stop giving their money to his grown leeching kids.  There were many red flags in the beginning she ignored.[/quote]

+1.  This is happening to my dad with my 25yo stepbrother right now.  Kid will not grow up, and his mother likes it that way.  (In her defense, this is normal in her culture). [/quote]
