So I have recently found myself in a situation I never thought I'd be in. I am the single mother of THREE kids!! My ex-husband, while I was 8 months pregnant with our son, decided that he needs to be single and out living life. He said that he wants a family just not right now. So he got a girlfriend and is currently chasing his "dreams".
So my question is this: Do men date single mothers of three kids? Good men I mean. You know, ones who don't use you to further themselves. I think of myself as a smart woman who tried very hard. I am a good mother and my children are well behaved. I cook, clean, and am a nurse so I feel like I could be considered a catch (to the right person :\).
However, something my ex said to me on his way out is really starting to bother me. Now let me state that I am not currently looking to be dating someone because after a break like that one I need some time to get financially and emotionally stable again but someday I am sure I would like to be taken to dinner or a movie! And possibly in an actual relationship someday! My ex said that any man in his right mind wouldn't try to take on a single mom with three kids for a serious relationship and that I should be skeptical of one if they say they would. Basically telling me that if I date it will always be a casual thing. Now I would never lie to a man and say I have no kids or anything like that nor would I introduce anyone to my kids unless I planned for him to be a fixture in our home. I refuse to parade a man around my kids because their hearts have been broken enough! So I would be honest about my situation but would have to see more potential for a long term relationship b efore they became a part of it.
