In a new relationship... what's your advice?

I am so pleased for you Karen. Advice? None save be yourself and enjoy every blooming moment. Oh, and babysitters, or sleepovers somewhere else!! XXXX

Enjoy it, have fun, spend as much time as you can with the man that you are with, but do not feel sad if he leaves or goes away. Remember that you two are still different yet equal people, and remember the love that you two share for one another.

Congratulations! Is his ex-partner involved in his life, and how much? My husband was married three times before we met, and a couple of the ex-wives really stirred things up for a while. I managed to become pretty good friends with them, and that was I was harder to pick on. LOL However, it really wasn't an easy thing to deal with. Good luck to you.

I don't know what to tell you if it is going so well, I would say though don't let the children come between, sometimes people break up because of the children, they argue about them etc,

It sounds to me like you have everything under control, just keep taking the relationship slow because when kids are involve you have to make sure that they are comfortable.

Sounds like you have a good thing going here! Lucky! I would look out for his children. I mean, I would keep them involved, as well as my own children. Making the kids feel left out can ruin a relationship very quickly. Other than that, just have fun, go with the flow. :)

Hi CanadaGal, great for you, my best wishes for you too !! In my humble opinion, somethings you should know, if you don't already know them: Communicate with your kids, they are far more receptive of the situation and at some point might replace their dad's image with the one of this gentleman. Pay attention to them and work things out if they're not coming along that well. Do not try to force things in any way, as our friend here was saying, you are mature enough to know what you're doing, what you're getting into and plenty of time to know this person. It's been just a month you said? try not to stay in the cloud that you are right now for too long.

Hey good for you! Sounds like the Brady Buch revisited. LOL! I'm a male and I know that you know if your gut feelings about people are right or wrong your old enough to know your gut instincts. But love or lust can cloud these instincts. Personally I'd go with my gut feelings. What are his friends like? That's a good indication of his choices in life! If something starts to bother you about him, don't brush it off just because you want this to work so bad! Pay attention to these feelings as well as the newness of love! tdemex
