If there is a good honest communication between the rwo of you, you can always ask for the reason and then decide if she is right or not. Without a satisfactory communication, both sides will be in the dark.

No.

One or two dates, maybe she doesn't want to introduce the drama so no problems. Once it gets serious it becomes a serious No because she obviously lies to her loved ones.

No as that means to me she does not wanna share her world with you.

Nope.

Nope.

Dating single mothers is a minefield of issues. Here's a list of 15 other things you'll have to deal with if you keep doing it. My experience has been that its very demanding with little in the way of reward. But if you're OK with being the lowest priority in her life then maybe these other concerns won't bother you either. .

No problem. Some people's kids are not likeable no matter what mom thinks, and some are just assholes. Most children grow up to be adults you don't like anyway.

i am not fond of the idea to keep things compulsively to myself at all; it causes contraction & soils the atmosphere. thus personally i wouldn't date anyone who'd try to keep our relationship - whatever that shapes up to be - secret. on the other hand, maybe this explains why i'm "single"

That depends on whether the relationship is just for fun. If there is any chance whatsoever that one of you is getting more serious, then she had better talk to her kids about it. Keeping you a secret from the most important people in her life says something about how well she values you.

I see there are lots of answers. Which is no surprise as this is a great question.

It depends on the age of the children. See, a mom doesn't want to have multiple men in and out of their kid's lives. It has an impact on the children. My son, for example, felt for years that his father and my next long term relationship person left because of him. He felt abandoned by them both. I know this because he finally told me and I must say, it broke my heart.

So please be understanding on her request for the moment. Both my relationships were about six years each and my kid still felt unworthy of a father figure. So timeframes are also important. Is

Good luck with your relationship

Nooooope. If they're willing to lie to their family, what happens when you become their family?

I would wonder what other secrets she finds necessary to hide from them/me and why have I not met the specifications to be acceptable. Answer: No.

As a long-time single parent, I won't to demonstrate stability in my son's life. He meets people that I can comfortably say will be around for the long-haul. I have dated a little here and there and he has only met two ladies I have dated in the last ten years.

Most don't even ask, because they are single parents, themselves. Others have asked nad have respected the boundary, seeing how important it is to me. The key is that they asked, and when the time was right, they either met my son, or things didn't work out, and we parted as respectful friends.

Not forlong

It depends on the reasons. If I were dating someone with young kids, I would want to be kept secret from them until we knew whether or not it was going to go someplace. Children bond quite easily, and they don’t understand why someone they love will have suddenly left them, and I don’t want them to have to go through that if it’s not necessary.

If the children are older, then there’s the challenge of the changing dynamics of their family and that can be a struggle for them too. Again, I would rather wait until we knew where things were going so that we could build the trust of the kids and keep that trust.

Absolutely NOT. Once lies start the grow and one never knows what the truth is. Even when they are described a little white lies. Once the word lie is involved, it’s a lie, nothing else. James

I have , it didn't feel great, but I respected her choice. Was hard because I had known her kids for 20 years almost which is why she was uncomfortable about us.

Most women do this...especially with younger kids, as they bond quite quickly and thus get hurt by partners going away. Either try to see it from her & the kids point of view, or date childless women...she sounds like a great Mom & quality person, but doesn't need someone who puts pressure on her already, I am sure, busy life.

If you're dating a single mother you've got bigger problems than you realize. Been there done that. I wouldn't do it again.Why not just flush your time, money, and emotions down a toilet?
