More info about me than you ever wanted to know:
I\'m heading into my second divorce. I\'m one of the last people I would have expected
to be doing this. I\'m a hopeless romantic.
The first ended because she and I ended up becoming best friends, and were living almost separate lives. We realized it would be for the best to split and give each other the chance to find \"the one\". I learned much about life and people from her and I don\'t regret a thing.
She was \"best man\" at my next wedding, even.
The second I met about the time of my first divorce. I fell in love with her and her kids. Long, involved story later, we\'re married and I\'m the happy father of three kids, two that lived with us.
None mine biologically, all three mine emotionally. As with any marriage, there were bumps in the road but we worked past them. I won\'t go into all of the issues, but at some point a year ago, the biological father of the youngest came back and they returned to being friends. I had no problem with this, but it just happened to coincide with a recurrence of her \"life crisis\" that we\'d gone through before.
Short synopsis later…I’m moved out for the last year and they\'re living together. We\'re getting the divorce papers together in the next month.
So, as far as the \"dating pool\" goes…not only am I not diving in, I don\'t plan on getting my feet wet.
