School dad situationship

I know a dad at my kids school, he's recently separated from his wife as I am from my husband.
We've started talking and have clicked so well I have that at once and had a few kisses but speak every single night via text or phone call.
Obviously our children know each other at school but don't know anything about us. Same goes for everybody else in the playground.
It's a very small, tiny rural school and I'm a bit worried everything getting out and the consequences. ..
Why do I feel like I'm doing something wrong,?

So is he recently separated or going through a divorce? Which is it?

Either way if it's recent I doubt he's even ready to date.

Please stop being the word police and focusing on a detail as if op is really stupid and or lying and this point is the be all and end all. The man is separated from his wife and is going thru a divorce what is it that's so difficult for you to understand the situation. My sister separated from her ex and a month later she started speaking to her solicitor. Recently separated and now going thru a divorce.

Just to rectify.
For both separated, children aren't friends in school. They're different ages. Nobody knows about it apart from us. No one's getting hurt. I don't know why this has got so many people's back up. Surely everybody deserves happiness. Relationships happen all the time. Mainly In workplaces which makes that awkward. This is at my child school. And I'm pretty sure the people with the negativity on this post aren't all little angels.

Then why ask?

It is a bit selfish and irresponsible. However as you say, nobody's an angel. I would argue most people try and be their most "angelic" when their children are involved, but again not all.

At the end of the day, it sounds like your mind is already made up. But if you ask a question on a public forum, expect to get honest replies!

You like each other and understand what the other is going through. Why shouldn’t you give it a go?! Beautiful things can come from these situations. The most important thing is to protect the children at this stage incase things don’t work out but other than that, you’re both adults, have a great time together and go for it! Sounds like you both really deserve some happiness.
