i dont date men with young children. I dont want to raise another family.
I never let my own child meet ANY of the men I dated.There was no reason to.
The only man she ever met was the one who became my second husband, and she met him ( before we were married) only because there was a serious emergency.
I say dont involve the kids UNTIL it IS serious. Ifd they get attached , and it DOES happen. the kids will suffer a break up, too.
NOT GOOD

This is a great question! I have a friend, who's Ex-husband has a very new girlfriend. She seems wonderful, but, as so many have said, it's nothing that's stood the test of time. I feel very conflicted for the children...on one hand, they are added to by this woman, and on the other, they will also experience the future possible breakup, possibly even more than the grown-ups.
I wish I had advice for this adult couple...I see danger.

With children..It takes a long time for a relationship to evolve and develop. Difficult situations do not happen immediately where you will be able to see the true strength, or ugly weakness of their character towards you. Until you go through a time where that person is truly tried and tested to endure challenging situations in life , with dignity, patience, honor,humility, and perseverance, don't even consider allowing the children to enter the equation. That will be a disasterous time bomb waiting to go off. Patience, my dear lady. Long patience... Without children.. The same as above.
