[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all this feedback. I am definitely “in my feelings” about it, and they have every reason to not be excited about meeting him. I have had lots of talks with them about it but I’m going to drop it for now.  The more I “push the issue,” the more resistant they’ll be. There is so much they don’t have control over and I want them to know their boundaries matter. [/quote]

Good insight, OP. You seem like a thoughtful person, to read responses and hear advice. The kids matter and won't be kids forever. You're allowed a social life and they're allowed to not be part of it. Continue being the good mom that you are.[/quote]

You're fine, OP.  Sometimes in life you get what you get.  They get to be children of divorce all their lives.  You get to have your boyfriend but separately.  Nobody's going to have the family they truly want here, and that goes for you as well as them.  You have to just accept it and stop fantasizing about how great life could be if only their feelings were different.  They're probably thinking that if their parents' feelings were different, their lives would be different too.[/quote]
