First let it be known that I was divorced when my daughter was 12 yrs old.

I don't think you're being unfair either, a lot of guys would love to spend alone time with you away from the kids. But your expectations simply do not work with this particular man. I find it hard to believe that in the year you dated before you married this was not a problem at all... He may have TOLD you that your alone time would come, but he only proved otherwise. Since then, this guy has made it clear to you in no uncertain terms that his kids come first and they will have all of his free time. He needs a woman who is okay with that. I don't think changing him is an option here.

Welcome to the board bigmomma08,


Unfortunately, he's true to form. His words and actions have not matched from the beginning.
