[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm recently divorced (46 m) and I just started dating again. The woman I am seeing(35 ) is great and we have a lot on common. However she wants to spend time together way too often. I have teens (we have 50/50 custody) who are also athletes. So I'm busy with them. On the days I don't have them I want a least a couple of days alone. Since my divorce I have really been enjoying my alone time.

Now I wonder if I should just stay single...I don't know I just feel like at my age I just don't have that feeling where you love someone so much and you can't wait to see them. Life is complicated at this stage in life with teens, retirement planning, college savings, career, elderly parents etc...

I'm just ranting.

Is this what I should expect while dating as a divorced dad? [/quote]

She doesn't understand what's important to you because she wants HERSELF to be the most important thing to you.  I'm similar to you and I've dated women from late 20s to late 30s...way longer than me.  As soon as I feel they don't understand they are not the priority in my life (I have kids) the relationship is done.  Both my kids play travel sports.  Weekends are busy fall and spring.  It is what it is.  If they can't understand that, that's on them.  At the moment I'm dating a women who's early/mid 30s and she's great.  Fully understands certain priorities in my life.  While she may not be #1, she's a close #2 and she's good with that.[/quote]

Dude why do you do that. You’re going to be a really bad memory for many 30-something women. Just date women with kids or in their 40s. [/quote]

Jealousy is a bad perfume. [/quote]

I’m just having flashbacks to when I was in my 30s … trust me, there’s nothing to be jealous of. [/quote]
