[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was divorced at 28 with three kids. I had a blast dating, always kept my dating life and home life separated. I dated a wide range from five years younger than me to 20 years older. Men pursued me, and I was quite happy to maintain my singledom. I figured that I had had my kids, I had a good career, and I enjoyed being single. 
While traveling solo I met an incredible man, tall, kind, smart, handsome, great job, two years younger than I am. I friend zoned him immediately because he had never been married, had no kids. As friends we developed an amazing connection, he convinced me that he didn’t want to be in the friend zone ;), we dated, married, and now have another kid. My children from marriage 1 love their stepdad, they get to see a loving and respectful relationship modeled every day (a far cry from what is modeled in XH’s home), and are happy kids. [/quote]

Traveling solo? Where were your three children?[/quote]
Perhaps with their father?[/quote]

Surprise! My children have two parents.  As much fun as it would have been to sit at home and pine away during their weekends with their dad, I chose to go out and explore the US instead...[/quote]

And I have to add - I refuse to live under some mom guilt when I'm not fawning over my children.  I chose to have a full, complete life, with interests, experiences, and hobbies of my own.  A father who travels for work or for pleasure isn't saddled with guilt that he isn't spending every moment with his children, and I won't either.  I don't have guilt for working, and I don't have guilt for having solo parent time, while traveling or out for an evening.  [/quote]

It's so refreshing when awful, selfish moms are candid about putting themselves first![/quote]
