My boyfriend of 1.5 yrs has 2 kids and was divorced nearly 9 years ago. It’s working out fine for us! We both did the online dating thing before we met and have traded lots of horror stories. I don’t think the issues other people encounter are as much about divorce as about meanness and lack of wisdom.
Basically, my advice is this: Live honorably. If you want respect, treat other people with respect, including your boyfriend. Don’t attempt to manipulate anyone; it’s a waste of good energy. Get to know him, don’t rush, have fun, remember you’re not married and maintain some sensible boundaries. Let him deal with the ex, it’s not about you, stay out of it. Remember you’re not married. Did I say that already?
