Do the kids get along?

Thank you SO much for your reply!!
Hi, as for the kids, I have four and he has three.
Ok, well I went from a 10 yr marriage and was 16 years old when it started and 26 when it ended. I'm now 28 ;)
I think you HAVE to find the right relationship for you and your kids. The first guy I dated was a friend and great and we were talking about moving in together after about 2 months. I ended it because I realized I was just trying to recreate having a husband. Bad idea.
Now, I've been with my current guy for over a year. We live about 45 minutes apart, see each other about once a week, talk every day, and attend events together as a couple. My friends/family were ok with this for about 8 months. Then they wanted it to be more "serious" ie. us getting married/moving in together. Well, that isn't happening right now. OUR timetable is different than theirs. I'm sick of their concern, but I understand it's out of love. They otherwise love the guy to death. But they want him to be "committed" as though I'm just sitting on a leaf waiting for him to decide to marry me...
So sometimes your time frame is different and that's ok. You have to be alright with other people not liking it, which sucks at times :/ Stick with what you know works for you!
Hi, First, let me say THANK YOU!!!
I know what are my core values and what I want with a partner.
Are you being anal in wanting someone financially stable enough to hold down a job, and emotionally stable enough to tell the truth?
Heavens, no!
"But, at the same time there were things he lied to me about, and when he explains it to me, he makes it sound like he actually has a 'good' reason to his thinking,"
Um- what did he lie about?
Was it the typical, "no, that doesn't make your butt look big" when you KNOW it does or what???
I agree with Mark- you want a relationship built on trust.
