[quote=Anonymous]I think many of the pp have a limited view of what longterm means. Clearly, if you've been seeing each other for two years it is longterm even if you aren't considering remarriage to anyone or to this particular person. Do your kids have any sense that you have a friend you spend time with when they aren't around? Do you have any sense of what they would think about you dating? I think you should introduce them, and the lowkey suggestions above make sense. While you don't want to be introducing them to new people constantly, after two years you also don't want to be hiding or lying about this other part of your life. I would keep it low key and leave space for them to ask whatever questions they want without being defensive. I've also been dating someone for two years-he and my child spend time together approximately twice a month. They like each other and enjoy that time, but he isn't a father figure and my kid seems happy with the status quo.[/quote]
