I have been dating a wonderful woman for 3 years now. We click on a lot of dimensions although financial is a challenge (she is not a saver, but seems willing to defer to me sometimes).
A chronic problem is I just don't feel any affinity, ANY, towards her kids (and the feeling is probably mutual). I have tried to consider their alcoholic father into the equation and cut them some slack but when I get down to it, I don't particularly enjoy their personalities.
It's one of those house that's full of drama, screaming, crying, pouting, etc. Which I realize may be par for the course in a lot of houses. But they just seem to put it on no matter who's there.
Even my middle son was over the other day I was trying to calm everyone down to just have a conversation and I said, "We value civil discourse in our family."
I don't know. . .I thought it could just be taht I generally just don't like kids, except about 2 years back, when I went out on a date, I took this woman and her two kids and I actually complimented her at the end of the date what pleasures her kids were.
(she had herpes. . .guys, it's a minefield out here).
*Sigh*
I guess that's that, right? There's no way this can work, right?
