would appreciate some advice
been in a relationship for 6 lovely years
my other half desperately wants me to move in with him but only me. I have 2 teenage children and am divorced. In a strange situation where at the moment my ex hubbie and I live in same house for financial reasons. Would make sense to move in with him but partner is very honest and feels he wouldn't cope with my 2 teenagers on a daily basis.
We seem to have reached a crisis point now and I feel so torn. If my 2 kids were happy with their dad it might be the ideal situation as financially it solves that problem for a few years until the kids leave home but I am not sure how it would work on a day to day basis when I can't see the kids every day. I don't want the kids to resent me or think I have abandoned them.
I must add here that I do stay over at my partner's a few times a week and also my ex has a partner and he does the same but we alternate. I have come up with a suggestion whereby I stay over with my partner say for half the week and my ex does the same but this would change every week as my ex's girlfriend's ex-husband (keep up!!) changes his mind often.
Sorry for waffling on but my relationship has come to a crisis point where I know my partner will possibly give up on us if I can't commit more as he gets lonely a lot but at the same time I feel so torn. What should I do?
I do know that I love my partner so much and I don't want to be on my own in a few years because he has got fed up waiting for me to commit to moving in with him.
