She may be awful in a every way, but if Library Guy can keep that anger out of your relationship and his relationship with his child then you have a keeper. Set the boundaries about how that messiness is discussed. Long term relationships with children are a roller coaster ride, throw in ex spouses and it's even bumper. Stay focused on yourself and you will feel stable and most likely he will follow suit. Really, you are dictating the terms when you are focused on yourself and not on what the relationship gives you. <br /><br />I have been married for six years and I am only now figuring this out. If it's not Library Guy, it will be another man with complications, just different complications.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222555697690336048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38232942.post-64792660512561491852011-03-14T10:08:56.202-07:002011-03-14T10:08:56.202-07:00Congrats on your Grad school acceptance!! I'm ...Congrats on your Grad school acceptance!! I'm contemplating going back to school myself. Although scary, I'm an academic, so the atmosphere would feel comfortable to me. The work, however, would be a challenge. We'll see what happens.<br /><br />Try to keep an open mind and broad perspective with Library Guy. There may be some merit to his ex wife's rage. If my ex husband was spending intimate time with someone, and my son knew about it but I didn't, I'd sort of flip out also. You need to learn more about their relationship before you jump to any conclusions. Good luck!Cara Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929269041124368708noreply@blogger.com
