Well for a start I'll say I am not a man 
and going out for a drink on a Saturday night, much as some people might disapprove, is a perfectly normal thing to do? That made me sad reading that reply, why are people so quick to assume I am disingenuous? I've not done anything wrong.
@MinervatheGreat thank you. I have really been made to think now.
@DaffodilsAlready i dont come on here often and don’t know which thread you mean but I have seen quite a few threads about people being annoyed with their partners over sports/hobbies.
@bunds i freely admit I might have got the timelines incorrect. I know what she’s told me and what I’ve seen, that’s all. If I am to made an educated guess now, I’d say she had been with the mother of the children from the youngest being a baby, which makes it about 8 years. She’s been seeing me for two-ish years a-but I don’t know how genuine she’s been about the situation prior.
25 times a year makes it really come home to me!
I’d definitely be more interested if they were her own children. Maybe this being a ‘new’ thing makes a difference.
I take the points about her perhaps just not being so bothered about me. I thought she was. I was in a relationship before that was very loving and this definitely feels different.
I don’t have an issue with being in the children’s lives, at all.
If she moves in with me, she’ll be too far away to see them much though.
And yes, she said she’d been single a long time when we first got together but i learned from spending time with her friends adn little things she said that it wasn’t a long time at all, more like a couple of months.
