Divorcees with kids: how long until you moved in with new partner

[Pegasus41]

So, every situation is different but just wondering: for those divorcees with kids, if you moved in with new partner, how long after getting together was this?

I’ve been with DP for a year and we both have young kids from previous marriages. For complicated reasons the kids aren’t included yet and we only see each other when neither of us has the kids. At this rate I think it’ll be several years before we live together (we’ve both talked about wanting to live together eventually)!

I think with younger kids it’s actually easier in a way. They get used to new situations easier. So - it’s more a case of the adults being sure your relationship is solid.
I think after a year - if you both feel that the relationship is serious, you can start introducing the kids.
As to when you decide to live together - it probably depends on other factors too - finances; nurseries/schools; other partner’s locations etc. I don’t think there are fast and hard rules.
My Ex introduced new gf after a few months of moving out, then kids a month later. They all moved in after a year.

Thanks @jsku That’s true about young kids being adaptable.

Not moved in together and won't whilst kids on the scene. When they've left the nest, we'll see.

I have teens and am waiting to they leave home, which will be another 2 years. Been with my boyfriend for 2 years now.

With late-DH, kids were young when we started seeing each other. Introduced after a couple of years, started living together another year or so after that.

Been seeing current DP for 4 years, kids are now 16 & nearly 20 (at uni). Don't anticipate living together until dc2 has done his Alevels.
