Now that I am married to someone divorced with a child, and know the struggles, I would not recommend or introduce a close friend to someone who is divorced with a child. Even if I thought the guy was great, that has nothing to do with the reality of the situation. You are potentially putting your friend in a nightmare situation. I sound harsh...but trust me. It's more than just about the man when you are dealing an ex-spouse and a child. |

Yes, I understand what you are saying but everyone and each situation is different. I think if I thought two friends would really be good together and one was divorced with kids, I would still introduce them. I would explain the problems I've had and let her make up her mind. |

OK, so you would lead a friend into a smokey room, not knowing if there were flames are explosives inside?? I hope not. Tough, I know, but the best analogy I can come up with right now. |

Never, ever, ever - I love my life, I love my step-daughter. Would I do it again? Her mother is horrible, the legal bills are staggering. The problems are never ending. It is a sad thing when you find yourself counting the years left until your step-children reach the age of 18 - aren't these supposed to be the best, most fulfilling years of a father's life? No, I tell anyone who wants to date a man with children to run, screaming, with their hands in the air. |
