whenhe is looking for a partner. He is 46. Own teeth, own hair, good job but never been married or even had a serious relationship that lasted beyond 6 months.

he has been internet dating for a couple of years and doing other stuff to try to make more friends. BUT he will not consider any woman who either has children or wants them.

We had a mini row last night as he met a woman when he was doing some outdoorsy stuff with a club and really liked her- BUT she has a 10 yr old son- so he "doesn't want to go there".!

I know it's up to him, but I can't help worry he will end up sad and alone as there simply aren't that many child-free, single women around in the 35-45 age group- and if there are, they often/usually want a child.

Me neither Hecate.

But I'm not wasting anymore effort on someone that clearly isn't interested in anything other than being told she's right (which clearly she isn't!).

(although I agree that YABU - it's his life, and if he doesn't want to find a woman who already has kids it's his prerogative)
