    You don't have to disclose any of that on the first date. Just look on it as having fun. If things start to get serious then maybe you need to be open about things.

    Who would have you if, at your age, you didn't have baggage? Someone later in life with no baggage might be perceived as someone who hasn't had much of a life!

    Well I am looking.mostly.at divorcees and I would rather be wary.of one without kids by.40-45 than by one who has them with an ex. Besides yours will not require cs for much longer. Everybody looks for company , women as well. You probably not a good candidate for a serious relationship now while the mess is going on but for some convwrsation , company , whatever activity you would be great. Time will go by quick and in a year you will be one of the best matches once the dust is settled :)
    The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
    Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.

    I actually wouldn't say that was that extravagant. But then I'm a Waitrose, Ocado, farm shops kind of shopper.

    Which is fine if you're funding it yourself :)

    Start thinking for yourself and taking the advice from her and if you cant get a good divorce lawyer then get a good !!!!ing girlfriend because as your girlfriend ( I'm not btw) but no way would i see you being !!!!ed over the way your are at the moment. If i were your lawyer or girlfriend your ex wife would get child maintenance and that would be it and i would post her the address to the job center and the forms for income support so that she knows exactly where to go to sign on :rotfl:

    Mmmmm You can see why divorces where a new girlfriend sticks her oar in go from stressful to an absolute nightmare. :rotfl: :rotfl:
