Divorced mom, dating again, wants advice?

I am a recently divorced mom who is dating the most amazing man. We have been friends for years and just recently started dating. We both feel like this is something that could become very serious, but I know that we have some struggles ahead of us, primarily jealousy over my ex and how what type of interaction he would like to have with my son. Does anyone know of any books that we could read together that might help us understand and better work through these issues?Divorced mom, dating again, wants advice?

Sounds like what advice you are looking for is at your local book store. I too was in your shoes a time ago(except for the best friend part). There are countless numbers of books addressing all of the topics (and more) you have mentioned. Get yourself to the bookstore and browse the shelves.
books arent gonna help you. that is something you two need to discuss and decide and see if the relationship is worth pursuing.
books aren't going to do it for you, you 2 have to do it yourselve's
First, if you read the thousands of replies on Yahoo Answers, there are lots of bible thumpers who are just waiting to pounce on you like a Lion on a Gazelle. They have nothing but contempt in their hearts so don't listen to them.





It takes A LOT of courage to go through divorce, to see your world collapse and you get up and try to rebuild it so life can continue. That's something the bible thumpers can't understand.





Ok, with that said, I wouldn't recommend reading anything. You've got to listen to your heart and talk often with your new significant other!!! If you're both as serious about each other as I think you are, your love will be strong enough to pull you through the stickiest problems!





That's not to say it's going to be easy - heck no, it's going to be painful!!





But love will succeed if you let it. That's what it's all about!!
I'm sorry I don't know of any books off hand. It's important for your bf to understand that even though the r'ship with your ex is over for YOU, your ex will always be your son's father and he doesn't need to interfere with that. Look at Will Smith %26amp; Jada Pinkett. I don't normally look for Hollywood for examples but I think they did a great job of blending families. When she came into the picture, Will had a child from his former marriage. She had to adapt, get over her jealousy for the sake of her future step-child. When you're adult, you realize it's no longer all about YOU....you have to do what's best for the child. I hope,for your sake %26amp; your child's,that your bf can handle that.
my mom was going through this same thing. She has six kids and is dating this guy. Umm the jealous thing with the ex just tell him that you became an ex because things didn't work out. Also if your new ';Friend'; not sure what you want to call him but about him and your son your son might be slow to come up to him because I know my brothers were but now as time goes on he will grow on your son and things will get better. Tell your ';friend'; that don't be to pushy with things but try and do things that you all might like or have him do something with your son that your son likes. Do things that will make a bond between things. It may be slow to get things started because you want to date but he probably feels he doesn't want you to but he loves you and wants to make you happy so just be slow things take time but he will be normal with things after a while. Good luck with things. Have any questions just ask. because my mom and has been in your shoes and me and my brothers and sisters have been in your sons shoes.
