[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fellow divorced dad here. A couple of (not necessarily related) thoughts and questions:

1) You may not be in the "honeymoon" period, however you are still in a relatively low pressure situation. I assume you are not sharing space with this younger woman, so you don't have the same dynamic whereby resentment and the like could grow like a fungus the way it did in your marriage. Things are easier.

2) Did you do any individual therapy after your divorce? If not, I doubt very seriously that you have grown or learned anything.

3) This can all change in a hurry if she wants here own babies. And if she does, she will articulate that very soon. Which means you will go from separate space and date nights to cohabitation and young kid stress all over again.

4) [b]She will be approaching peak libido at a time when your own will be likely subsiding due to age. At which point, if you can't keep up and the resentment I warn of creeps in, she might step out on you. If you do marry, get a prenup.[/b]

5) You may be deluding yourself about how well your kids accepted her. As someone else said, I have no doubt they were polite. But if she takes on a bigger role in your life, you may be in for a shock.[/quote]

+1. We men seriously underestimate this. Women cheat in their husbands because of this. [/quote]
