Hi
Just a quick one to see others opinions, I've been single for almost a year now with 3 children 8 and under. Family/friends keep asking when I am going to get back out There, if I'm honest I'm really not interested in any kind of relationship but if in the future I was how do you get the time?! When the kids dad sees the kids in the week he pops in a couple of times in the afternoon at my place as he lives 45 mins away in the traffic so no point taking them to his on a school night and weekends he has them on a Sunday roughly 12-5 each week.
So basically what I'm asking is when do you get the time to meet somebody if your situation is similar? It seems impossible! I really can't imagine a man being happy just meeting for a couple of hours on a Sunday but never being available for any evening drinks dinner etc. Obviously could have somebody to mine in the evenings but wouldn't be comfortable with that until months and months along the line. How does it work?! It seems unfair sometimes that he has so much free time to build new relationships/date but I do realise I am so lucky to have the majority of responsibility for my boys and wouldn't change that for the world I guess I am just thinking about how it will all work out in the future when I am ready to start again?
Wow longer than I thought thanks for reading!!
