[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Got divorced at 40 with young kids after a 20yrs marriage.  My first relationship was more of a fwb type thing and in the end it didnt work out because one got feelings and the other was seeing others (it sucked).  Now i've been with the same man for about 4years and it is wonderful. The difficult part is we both have kids and aren't ready to jump into a blended family thing.
One thing I learned is that the qualities i found attractive in my late teens are definitely not the same ones I want now. I know that sounds obvious but many of my 40s female friends who are dating hold on to those ideals and have no luck. [/quote]

Guy -  how do you negotiate that in terms of sustaining the relationship?  How often do see each other ? Is one of you just commitment phobic ? [/quote]

We see each other a few times a week, on our weekends with no kids and a few times on our kid weekends. We do stuff all together. Neither one of us is “commitment phobic” but we have kids who we don’t want to move out of their schools and are committed to that.  I’m not going to say it is easy but we are committed to our children.[/quote]

Sounds perfect. I wouldn’t marry. A long term relationship is enough. [/quote]
