I've been separated from my kids Dad for over a year now. I started saying recently and met a guy I kinda like. I'm not ready for a full blown relationship and def not ready for anyone to meet my kids. But I do know that if that day ever came along. My ex would not handle it well and it will kick off massively. I just don't know what to do really

I suspect whenever you do it will happen .

If you are ready it is fine. You are separated he doesn’t get to say how you live your life.

When you are ready to. It's got naff all to do with your ex.

You deserve a life too. Your kids will, hopefully, grow up and move away like they're supposed to. Being an empty nester alone can be difficult. I'm not saying you need a man to live a fulfilled life, but that's the subject we're broaching, moving on to other relationships.

You come across as s sensible lady, not thinking of rushing into anything in the way of involving your kids until they/you/new partner, are ready. A sensible head will stand you in good stead. Your exp - stuff him, this is your one and only life, you deserve to be happy.

Good luck op,
