[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ex husband here - I have plenty of regrets but despite the odds against men I got full custody of my children. While my life is chaotic I'm happy and so are my kids. Their mother moved away  to 'start a new life' which was a smart move on her part. After a year as a single parent my anger has subsided and I have no regrets being a dad.[b] I'm way too exhausted to think about dating but I know that all of us would enjoy a female presence[/b]. [/quote]

Sound like you were put through the ringer and I hope a great woman does come into your lives. :) [/quote]

PP here - I was put through a ringer but from the beginning I was focused on one thing - getting sole custody of my children. I didn't fight her over every nickel and dime or who got what possession. It didn't matter to me and my earning power is very good and I knew I could recover. And it was extremely helpful to have parents who helped keep me focused...and calm. By being 100% focused on why I should have custody I was able to make my case without my head getting screwed up with all of the other crap. The calmness really helped me with my three small children as they never saw any outbursts and I never let me ex or her attorney get under my skin. And I do hope a great woman comes into our lives but three young kids is not date bait! [/quote]

I would date you. No kids here (XH had health issues and then I was too old). I would love to be a stepmom if the relations between the parents is respectful. I also have a great stepmom so I have a template for how to be good at it. [/quote]

PP here - thanks but for the time being, being a dad is all I have time for. I'm becoming an expert on Thomas, Paw Patrol and Curious George. [/quote]

Wait, I thought all men have some biological need to have sex every week.?? How do you cope?[/quote]

I can't disagree, but I'm so fried after being up at 5:30 then getting the kids up and fed, being at work from 8-6, getting home playing with them, putting them to bed and then getting organized for the next day that sex is not high on my list of priorities. The only break I have is at work....like right now! If I could have a once a week lunchtime FWB I'd seriously consider it but something like that could easily have complications and that's the last thing I need. My life is crazy right now but we're happy.[/quote]
