[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. I am divorced with kids.  I also thought I wanted to be remarried for the reasons you cite.  I have been in a long term relationship with a fantastic man who also has kids. We don't live together.  While we do 'family things' all together, we maintain our own homes and care for our own families and make time for our relationship without the pressures of "family blending'. It's incredibly freeing to feel that connection but still be solo.  So yes, there is hope. You'll be ok alone. Remarriage is not the answer always.[/quote]

DP. But it's also ok to want to be in the same space, to have that family unit that was lost in the divorce. I do think blended families are a different situation, but I WANT to share a home with a new partner one day. [/quote]

DP.  You'll never have back the family unit that was lost in divorce.  You may only get a different unit, and it's important to remember that.

To the OP, I remarried at 35 when my kids were 6 and 8, and then I had another baby at 40.  I am 49 now, still married to my second husband, and this marriage us much better than my first.  This is a first marriage for my husband, so I don't have to deal with any blended family issues.   [/quote]
