So, you got what you wished for, but you're still not happy? You feel guilty about leaving your son for a few hours out of the entire week that you see him? Why? Sounds like you have issues, and tend to get in your own way.

Reading comprehension fail. The overwhelming majority of responses have stated some version of it's up to you to work it out for yourself.

OP: You seriously want your ex-husband to change his work schedule so that he can babysit y'all's son while you date other men? How do you think he feels about that?


First, your priority is your son. Once he is grown, no longer dependent on you as a caretaker and provider, and out of the house, then you can making dating a priority.

Second, when you divorced your ex-husband, you relinquished the right to have any expectations of him other than what's written in the court documents.

Yeah, I'm sure he'd be happy to pay money to facilitate his ex wife "dating" other men.

Exactly. She didn't even ask for child support in the divorce so she must not need money that badly to begin with.
