I am hoping for a few words of wisdom from any of you who have managed relationships after at least a year alone... I am just embarking on one with a (seemingly) lovely man and I am feeling in a spin.
We are both trying to take it slowly, and due to various other commitments in our lives we have to, for now.
I have a DD who is 2 and I suppose what worries me is that she gets attached and somehow this doesn't work out. I am very clear to him that she comes first and he completely gets that and agrees, which is lovely.
There really is nothing wrong with him at all other than he is very very keen, which is nice but I am very used to my independence and sometimes feel like I am possibly not being as enthusiastic as him. I just don't feel the need and I suppose I don't want to give too much, if that makes sense, in case it goes wrong.
Is this just a take each day as it comes scenario or should I be putting ground rules down? Did any of you have discussions on topics such as telling off your child (luckily haven't had an issue with this but am wondering how it will feel if he sees fit to do so) or perhaps what to do if your child calls them Daddy very soon?
Sorry for rambling post; I think I am in shock that I have dared to try again, as to be honest I was pretty happy solo and didn't think I would bother with another man again! TIA
