who knows if you'll marry anthony, it's a possibility but no one here is really able to tell. we cannot predict the future here so idk. as for the baby thing, don't go having children until after you're married. if you do it before then you're just most likely screwing up your life.

Think about this were do u want this to go.  Long term would u realy wonna take her home to mom, heck would u want her to be the mother of your children.  Short term lucking for some fun, go for it.

If you are considering another relationship with her then maybe marriage counselling would be a first step.  If you can get through that then I might consider trying again but obviously there were serious issues that warranted the divorce to begin with.

There is no set time limit, if you want to start dating, go for it. Don't worry about what other people think, god will be our judge in the end. You only live once. I'am a married mother with children, you have fun and live like you are dying.

See there is no guarantee in love and marriege.Nothing last foverer. Yes is possible that you can get marry . But one thing you have to face, one important fact before that happen: there´s too much people involved which will suffer with your decision.  So you have to slow down and do the things in steps.In others words: Divorce, after let the time goes for both sides to recover and then make public the relationship and after get married. if the love that you have to each other is pure, will survive and stand all the process.

Right in the middle of it right now after 18 years, three kids (all girls). It is the worse think I have ever had to endure emotionally. I keep asking myself through it all; am I doing the right thing, and the answer is yes. My wife told me to step up and be a man, so I did. I could type forever, would probably cry after a few more sentences. It really boils down to:\n\n1) You have a right to be happy on this limited time on this earth.\n\n2) How can you be the Best parent for your children.\n\n\n\nI want to show them someday what being in a normal, healthy, happy relationship is all about. That way, the might actually have a chance of finding one on their own someday. I want to love and be loved the way that feels real to me. I want to enjoy life with my kids and friends and not feel that I am never good enough for her. I hope she kind find happiness on this earth because it was not with me.\n\nGood luck my friend,\n\nToxic

Relax, it isn't all that hard.  Those of us that have been divorced have all had to go through this whole getting back into the dating scene thing.  In some ways it is like going to a brand new mall.  You have lots of options and are over whelmed at first but then over time you figure out what you are looking for and how to avoid the bad stores and get the best deals.  Your already online so that will make it easier for you to look into a variety of options ranging from chat rooms to dating sites such as yahoo.  The key is to remember, nothing has really changed in the dating world.  You still have to wade through a lot of toads to find your prince.  As for your kids, always remember you are the grownup and don't let them get away with thinking they have the right to control your life.  This is about you being happy and your life beyond them.  Hopefully you will eventually find the right guy and he will win them over.

I myself am now just getting my divorce finalized at the end of the month. The amount of time varies with how comfortable you feel about seeing another person. It takes some time to get adjusted to the "single life". I have to agree that you don't want to introduce your children to someone that isn't serious. It's bad enough you had your heart broken by someone but you don't want your kids to go thru that over and over. It doesn't make you look good as a parent and your kids will grow up seeing you differently. Bottom line is there is no set time limit. It's all on how and when you feel yourself when you are ready.

Just open up to her about your feelings on the situation and you know good mothers would always welcome back their children. \nWish you luck....

I was married and now divorced. It was a horrible experience being in that situation.  The worst part was she was my best friend and we had a child together. If you're in that situation, I feel your pain but it wasn't any easy last three years. Much better place now! Now before anyone makes any rude comments, I wouldn't accept that I was gay and thought their was other issues. I didn't get married KNOWING i was gay. I should have known but I didn't.

Most likely she would make a good wife and yea you could have a normal life. (you would make all the males you know really jealous...hahahaha)\nWhat exactly is normal ??? Your normal might be wild and crazy for some people or boring to others......live and let live

Let me think..... hmmmmmm   10 years ago I was "happily married" and planning to stay that way, so was not even considering dating ever again (other than date-night w/ hubby, and w/0 kids)\n\nNOW>....... separated a couple of years, been thru the .... "I'll never date, no-how, no-way,.... and am at the stage of thinking...........  maybe..... and starting to keep my eyes and ears open for possibilities.

dont just stay for the kids, if u are miserable, they will be miserable. it would be better to get a divorce and set up a happy home by yourself with the kids. then after this u can think about dating again. u dont have to have nothing serious but keep it out of your kids lives as much as u can. i hope u find happiness. best wishes.

I had a relationship that lasted 2 1/2 years in which the guy I was seeing (and was supposed to marry) had a four year old son when I began dating him. The mother had abandoned them both a year earlier. I raised the child as my son - he even called me Mommy. His father worked two jobs for a while, so during that time, I was actually more like a single parent to his son - I did all the baths, all the homework, all the cooking, all the quality time, all the bedtime stories and all the discipline. I loved that child like he was my own, and I still love him. \n\nThe relationship went south, and I stayed because of the child for a long time. The mother eventually got custody of him (MESSED UP!), and took him halfway across the country. I didn't have a problem with him seeing his mother and knowing his mother, in fact, I WANTED him to see and know her, but I also felt that he was my son in my heart. When we had to tell him that the judge said that he had to go and live with his mother, he said, "But your my mommy, too, so that means I can still live with you!" Heartbreaking.\n\nI couldn't see him anymore, I couldn't protect him anymore, I couldn't be there for him anymore, because I had no right to legally. That was the absolute worst thing I've ever had to go through as a result of a relationship - and the relationship itself was pretty darn bad. \n\nAs a result, I won't get involved with a man that already has kids anymore. I am too scared to love a child if all the rights I have to that child are in someone else's hands. That may be irrational, but it's too much of a risk for me. Been there, done that.
