some advice from the women here...

[wendl]

Well I met my dh before his divorce was final. They had been legally seperated for 2yrs I think (I can't remember and really don't care)

Anyways, we started out dating, he told me straight up he never wanted to get married again.  We dated about a year before he actually got the final divorce papers in his hand. The day he got his papers in his hand he proposed to me and we have been together for 6yrs now.

All I can say is be honest with her, she will need to find her own way in life and stumble as well.  Take it slow and see what flourishes.

When it comes to other peoples kids it can he a hell of a time as the other parent does everything to push the kids against you and/or try to break you and your parnter up.  Always remember that we cannot control your new partners ex's actions, but you can control your own and not act on them.

Best wishes to you.
