I guess i'm writing this because i'm wondering where all this is going... I'm a single mum of two and have been on my own for nine months now. About 4 years ago a lad i knew from school came back on the scene - we were together for a year or so when i was 16, but life took us seperate ways. I admit that when i was married i did think about him occasionally - at one point i had thought he was the love of my life, but i was young and didn;t know any better - but i never acted on it, i loved my husband.

Anyways we got chatting again, and have never been more then friends since he came back. Him and his wife have been seperated for almost two years, and then a month ago he asked me out to dinner. I went and had a lovely time. We've seen each other several times since then and i do like him a lot, and he seems very keen. We speak on the phone daily if we can't see each other.

I'm not sure what the point of this post is...well i am really.... do you think it's too soon for another relationship? I guess im worried about what my family will think. And i don;t want to hurt my kids... they come first and foremost...

It sounds lke it has potential. But you are right about your children coming first, I think,but that shouldn't be at the expense of what you want too. How old are your children?

Hey, enjoy your life woman! If it feels ok with you, then go ahead and have some fun in your life

Don't worry about your family and you don't have to do the introducing to your kids thing till you're good and ready.

Good luck and stop fretting!!

What's stopping you? You are both single... and the kids will cope, as and when.

Good luck to you.

Yes life is too short to waste. Yes your kids should and do come first but you deserve a life as well.
Take it slowly and have fun

Go for it. It might work, it may not but there is no statute of limitations on how long you need to mourn the end of the old relationship for. You are both single and if you feel ready for something new then just enjoy it!!!!
