Would love it! So fun for our kids to do outings together!

He still texts me, but I never respond.

I'm sure he'll meet someone who also enjoys working out in the mornings. Personally, I hate lying around in the morning and going out for brunch- makes me feel sluggish and bleh.

+1 I get up every morning to workout, come home and shower and snuggle back in bed with coffee on DH's nightstand until he's ready to get up and brunch with me.

That sounds a bit different from what the other poster described.

I didn't say what time I get up and go to the gym, or how many hours are spent there. All said and done, I'm gone 4-5 hours. I just get up early enough that it doesn't disrupt the rest of my life. I'd also say there's a good chance that poster is exaggerating because she didn't get her lazy Sunday funday.

What in the hell time are you waking up? Or how late does your husband sleep till?! My God. That is NOT a set up I would envy.

How is it a custody issue? He has his kids on the weekends? Yes, if he is a good father but I would check it out as its rare to have every weekend. Is he willing to remarry and have more kids? It sounds odd.

Would you "never" marry him, OP? Because if you both married each other, it wouldn't be such an issue. Would you want to be a step-mother, OP?

I'm not sure if I want to be a stepmother.

Then walk away

It would really depend if our schedules were compatible so we could get together during the week when he didn't have the kids and how decisive we both could be about how serious the relationship would get. Like someone else said, if this could be "the one" I could hang in there but if it's an inconvenient relationship of convenience what would be the point? In my mind this is the same as asking about a long distance relationship, dating someone that travels a lot for work, or that is gone for months at a time, or works the opposite shift as you.

This.
Seriously, who only has custody on every.single.weekend? But not during the week? I can't imagine anyone signing off on that. Every other weekend? Absolutely. But not every single weekend.

We do. Ex-wife likes spending her weekends getting blackout drunk and hooking up with strangers. Not a good environment for our 13 yo daughter.

I did. Ex insisted only she could properly manage the children during the school week. So the judge said--okay, Mr. Ex. gets them every weekend and for 6 weeks in the summer. By the time holidays and spring break were factored in, I had the kids 52 percent of the time. Weekends are more work but more fun and I get to spend the whole day with the children instead of just an hour in the morning and a few hours in the evening.

^^^^^^^^ Pure female fantasy here folks. I bet PP also wants to be at art galleries every weekend with her beau.

Art galleries are a female fantasy? Wow. You know us so well. That's what women fantasize about, going to art galleries. Hot, sexy art galleries.

That OK. One of the DCUM women who complains about dad bods picked him up and is happy.

Well then they need to get him to stop saying he's single and texting me, lol.
