I read once somewhere that one should not be spending the night at a boyfriend’s house when the kids are there unless there are plans for marriage. I thought this sounded good until Tim started asking me to spend the night. The first time spending the night at Tim’s house when his kids w

When I met Tim, life was good. I was happy. I had a fulfilling life of my own. I had friends I spent time with regularly. I had hobbies and activities that I participated in. I had a spiritual community I attended regularly. I had a pretty good balance. A year and a half later, [...]Get a Life is a

I have been experiencing a lot of fear lately. Tim and I have been talking about the future and I’ve been freaking out. We decided that I would move closer to his neighborhood so that I wouldn’t have to travel back and forth between houses so much. And so we could generally be together m

If you are like me, you can get focused on the little things that are going “wrong” in the situation with the single father I am dating. For you, it may be that your boyfriend had to cancel plans with you at the last minute because of a sick kid, or he got a call [...]Staying Connected i

One of the trickiest things about being in a relationship with a single father is feeling left out. There are two ways this occurs. First, I am not a part of the family. I am very close to them, but I don’t live with them and I am not related to them in any way. [...]On the Outside is a post f
