I've been dating a really lovely man and think it could be something special. The only problem is we live about 45 minutes away from each other both with DC from previous relationships (him 2 x DS and me 1 x DD). Our children have met previously a couple of times as we were friends for years but since dating we've kept it just between the two of us to avoid any confusion. However, It's approaching the time were we want to start spending time all together.
That in itself is very exciting and I have no reservations on that but what is worrying me is going forward how do we make our lives work together whilst living in different areas? I guess my main worry would be if after a couple of years we want to live together, how do people do it when their kids go to school in different areas (we both have ex partners who have the children 50/50 so we couldn't move them out of school as that wouldn't be fair on anyone)? Has anyone been in this position and been able to have a successful relationship?
I guess my AIBU would be - am I being unreasonable in thinking this could work?
