[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the family vacations are things that you will be included in at some point if/when you are sufficiently serious or engaged or married, then I wouldn't think they were a dealbreaker. As the child of two contentiously divorced parents who have been in the same room together only a handful of times since their divorce, I think it's amazing when parents can actually be civil and put their kids first.[/quote] I agree it's important to put kids first, but expecting the new partner to have vacations with the ex is a bridge too far. She deserves to have her own family life as well, which means separate vacations. You can be friendly and non-contentious, but not expect to keep up the trappings of married life at the same time. If you still want to go on vacations with your ex and pretend you're a happy family ... maybe you should never have gotten divorced? Or at least, don't expect a new partner to be completely OK with this. [/quote]
