[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She isn’t the right one for you. You are a dad, first and foremost.  She is 10 yrs younger and doesn’t want kids- meaning she also doesn’t want to deal with YOUR kids and their obligations and your obligations to them.

She needs someone her same age that wants and has a child free life. [/quote]

She knew his age. She knew he had kids. So what is she still dating him after 8 months? Why is she still asking to spend more time with him?

She is grown 36 years old woman. She is not a 20-something woman. Going into this relationship she knew his situation.

You are telling me that there are 30+ women are there who don't know that a dad is going to prioritize time with his kids. Come on now lol.[/quote]

I am the poster who is late forties who has dated divorced dads, almost all of whom have fifty fifty custody. IME, when they don't have custody, they don't spend time with their kids and can prioritize you. The fact that he is doing child care on his non custody days is kind of sucky from a dating perspective. I don't think this guy is a good catch for a 36 year old who wants a serious relationship. He does not have enough time for her.[/quote]

+1. OP should be commended for putting his kids first. And with this sacrifice he needs to also understand that dating will be almost impossible for him.

Maybe someone explains this to me. I know a few divorced men all of whom in their 40s and dating women in their 30s. One is getting remarried this summer. What women say on this forum is not what I see in real life. Those women in their 30s are absolutely dating these guys. I don't know why. There are plenty of single men their age or younger. But 30s women dating 40s women is very very common. [/quote]
