[quote=Anonymous]My ex and I are both remarried (I say this so you don't think I'm anti new relationships post-divorce with kids). He introduced his now-wife to our kids within 4 months of us separating. My kids were still reeling from our new family situation and they had no understanding about why it all happened (it was also because of infidelity but they were too young to be clued in on that). They were still just trying to sort out how they felt about their new normal, and now there was this whole other person in their life. They saw right through the whole "meet my new friend" thing, they knew who she was to him. It threw them for a huge loop and really made a hard a situation harder.

If you really think this relationship is the real thing, wait. Look at it as an investment in the long term. Give your kids the time they need to get totally settled in to their new situation, give yourself time to do the same thing, and give your gf time to really get used to the idea of joining a family already in progress. If it's the right fit, it will be worth the wait.[/quote]
