3 years after splitting with my ex-wife, I've found myself in a serious relationship which is going places. I have a son and a daughter (ds is 8, dd is 10) and they have met my new lady a couple of times. Most recently, we all went out for the day - she has a 4 year old son - and it went very well, which was a massive relief and a good omen I hope.
My cause for concern is that, for 3 years, my children have had me all to themselves. If I have been 'hanging out' with other grown-ups (shout out to Tinder et al!), it has not been around my children at all.
The upshot is that for 3 years we've done everything as a trio - holidays, domestic stuff, day trips, road trips, you name it. How can I make the transition to me having someone else important in my life and not cause problems for the kids and for the new girlfriend?
