[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 47 and been divorced 3 years now but have been exclusive with my GF for a year now. My girlfriend is 34. I can see myself marrying her. In my first marriage I was not the best husband.[b] I didn't cheat, but I wasn't around much[/b], I didn't want to go on date nights, I didn't want to do therapy. However [b]I was an equal partner at home [/b]and took our kids to all their sports events, attended all parents teachers  conferences, knew all my kids teachers' names and Dr names etc...

Did I learned from my failed marriage? I just feel like I am a better partner now.  I enjoy spending time with my GF, going on date nights and finding time away from work to be with her. Or I am still in the honeymoon phase? Some days I regret I wasn't this way  with my first wife. Don't get me wrong she had her issues as well, but I can only objectively judge myself. I recently introduced my kids to my GF and it went better than I expected. [/quote]

Can you reconcile the two bolded statements?  One says you were not around much and the other says you were an equal partner at home.  Those seem like contradictory statements to me.

What percentage of the time are your children with you, currently?  You seem to use the past tense when describing yourself as an equal partner.  [/quote]
Love how OP keeps skipping over questions like this lol. Easy to see he wants a pat on his back but hasn’t really done much introspection. At all.[/quote]
