I don't let myself get depressed by it either. I have been divorced for over 10 years now. I just keep looking, hoping to meet the right man. No biggie.
I am happy with myself. I do fine being alone and taking care of my kids. I know I am Spectacular. None of that is the issue.
I have just had enough of being the only person I can count on. I carry a lot of my shoulders. And while I do handle it, I just don't want to be that person.
OK, since you are so spectacular and are so happy with yourself, guess I am done here. Good luck.
You think being on completely different pages on something this important to you with the guy you are dating is a normal, healthy relationship?
Hate to break the news to you, but that's not how normal, healthy relationships work.
I don't think we are on completely different pages. He is in the exact same situation and says the same thing. He has the same complaints about having to do everything.
He says things like he would like to have a wife that allows him to just worry about work and she can take care of the kids. I can tell you I am the only girlfriend he has allowed to interact with his kids. He lets his kids stay with me. I can pick them up at school. I have even taken over Homework with kids.
Well, you say you live in a small town. So I am guessing the man supply is not great.
You are dating a guy who is great but you have to wait until his kids are gone to move in with him.
Or you break it off. Then you are single ... again.
If you are single again, you think you would find somebody better (as in more available) and future oriented?
Would you be willing to move away to have a better dating pool?
lol I would probably be single for awhile. Or my luck the last guy will show back up.

See bolded sentence. Sounds like a real winner you've picked.
I wish more guys would be like that. I would love to do that job.
I agree. I think kids need to have a parent that has time to be involved. Not just have parents that work all the time. My bf works long hours. He only has him to count on so that has become his reality. I get what he is saying. He wants to come home to dinner, and not having hours ahead of him to help with homework, laundry, getting his kids ready for the next day. Second parents make that easier.
Yes. Things end badly otherwise they wouldn't end. No point in remain friends with an ex. You move on. They move on.
I do not interact with exes and I do not like it when women I'm dating have any contact with any exes.
