When I started dating my boyfriend, a divorced single father of two young daughters, I felt alone and confused. I would talk to friends but no one I knew had dated a single father or anything close to it. He was a great guy but this situation was bigger than just him. How did I know he was right for me? How did I know I wanted to be in this situation?
I’ve written three posts recently about things I did to figure this out and I wanted to give you a recap here:
First, I started asking him questions. Read more about this process by clicking here.
Then, I figured out what I really wanted. Read more about how I did this by clicking here.
Finally, I determined if I was giving more than I was getting from the relationship. Read about this by clicking here.
I certainly don’t have this all figured out. And I really couldn’t really know what it was going to be like until I was in it. But these were some things I did to at least eliminate some of the doubts I had about what I was getting involved in. I felt more empowered and comfortable making the decision to stay.
Maybe you will too… Give it a try and I’d love to hear how it goes!
