I need reassurrance from my s-t ladies on this. I met some one and we have started talking. I like his company and being around him. I know I have to go slow and focus on me and chris for a while. I do not want to get hurt again. I told him that Iam do not to rush things b/c of the bad marriage with D he says he understands and there is no pressure. Thanks ladies
If you stick to your guns (and he continues to respect your wishes) I am sure it will be just fine. It will be good for your mental health to have some companionship while you rebuild your life. I would not suggest bringing him around Chris though. You do not want to confuse him. If the relationship progresses and things get serious then you can introduce him to Chris.

AWWWW!!! This made me smile. I'm happy for you. I think that you are smart in being cautious after all you have been through, I think you know how to take care of yourself to make sure this guy doesn't hurt you.

Interestingly enough , I had a coversation about a very similiar situation with a friend of mine yesterday.
Really , the bottom line should be What is best for you and your son right now? It took great courage for you to move on with your life without your ex-hubby because that was what was best for you and your son. I cant tell you what to do, only suggest that however you involve this man in your life (friend , boyfriend etc) do it with caution while you rebuild your own life. I wish you the best ... and I am so happy to hear how well your coping with this life change.

I agree with Farrah. Take things slow and don't let him rush you into things. Allow Chris to have more time with just you and him before bringing the new man around. I wish you luck!
Hi ladies I just wanted to give a update. Things are still going great for BF and I. Wow that sounds strange ..BF. Chris has met him and chris enjoys being around him. They have went and done guy things together which Chris really needs in his life right now. Throwing the baseball, learning how to shoot a BB gun, fish etc. We are planning a camping trip in July where we can go fish, target pratcice, canoeing,hiking etc... Chris and I are really looking forward to this trip and we are both happy.
Wed. the ex and I saw the judge and the Divorce is final!!! yeah!!!!!
On a sad note Tues I found out my Bio- Dad has passed away, he apparently shot his self. I have not had any contact with him in 15 yrs or so but I have feelings that I thought I never would have felt. I will going up there for the funneral and BF is going up there with me. He offered to take me and be up there since no one on my side of the family will be atttending. Iam glad he is in my life right now.
Wow. I'm sooooo happy for you. He seems like exactly what you need now. He seems to be helping you enjoy life right now and thats what you need to do. I'm sorry to hear about your bio dad, even if you haven't had contact with him its still tragic to hear about something like that.
Glad you updated. Haven't seen you around as much.
Sorry to hear about your biological father. That must be a lot of emotion associated with that.
However, I'm thrilled for you with the divorce being final and having a great BF in your life. I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how things were going with you. Glad to hear that things are going well! You deserve it!
