I am currently seeing a 32 yr old woman.

She is getting a divorce which I am willing to wait. But I am also a female, and she has 2 kids. Her kids are quite mature and loving, and 'Kerry' seems to think that they will be OK with it when she eventually tells them and that she is only worried about them being bullied in school because of it, but I'm not sure.

She has a girl of 11 and a boy of 9. Will it affect them?

People do what they feel they have to do for whatever reason

Children put up with what they have to put up with

We all make mistakes

Sometimes it's hard to know what to do

Our children are our future

Children like the rest of us learn acceptance

New branches move easy with the wind

Kids are mean to other kids in school, because adults, including school teachers and administrators, let them bully other kids. If the word gets out, the kids will have a hard time with it. But, who is going to tell everyone? Are you going to put a sign on the front of the house? As far as these kids to need to know, there mother is moving a woman friend into the house to help her with expenses, and keeping up the house. What you do behind closed doors is not their business, and not anyone else's business either. Discretion is the better part of valor. I am assuming that the two of you are not going to be kissing each other or groping each other on the front porch for the neighbors to see, and you aren't putting on shows in front of open windows. When the kids get older, they will probably already have guessed about their mother's relationship with you. The boy is too young, and the girl is barely old enough to be told. Let it wait. Be discreet for their sakes.
