writes: I left my wife after 20yrs of marriage, after 18 months my new partner will still not tell her kids (10 & 14) about us. I am now divorced she is not even legally separated from her ex. She lives in her own apartment and I in mine. I have tried so many times asking her to tell the kids and to move our relationship on but all I get is "in time, in time". The kids live with her ex. She thinks they will not want her if she gets involved too soon with someone. Surely 18 months cant be too soon ....... please help

 She is a mother and You knew this getting into the relationship. Who knows children better than their mothers? Who are you to say that 18 months is more than enough time? How can you be so selfish? She's not doing this for herself, but for her children. Can't you see that if the children are not ready, they will never accept you? Once their mother sees that the children realize their parents will not get back together and they come to grips with it, she will let you know. Sorry, buddy! If you wish to pursue this, you let mommie call the shots.
