"In the comments of this post, reader fashionpr said she&amp;amp;#8217;d be okay dating a guy with a divorce under his belt&amp;amp;#8212;but she&amp;amp;#8217;d never date another guy with kids. I agree that while having an ex-wife to contend with is one thing, having children and an ex-wife is a whole &amp;amp;#8217;nother ball game. I&amp;amp;#8217;m saying this as someone who was the difficult stepchild. Thankfully my stepparents&amp;amp;#8212;who both got more than their fair share of, &amp;amp;#8220;Whatever. You&amp;amp;#8217;re not my real mother/father.&amp;amp;#8221;&amp;amp;#8212;stuck around. It certainly helped that my mom and dad were on friendly terms; I never felt like one was giving me extra affection or attention to spite the other one. But I&amp;amp;#8217;ve seen kids be used as pawns in their parents&amp;amp;#8217; psycho revenge games. That can&amp;amp;#8217;t be easy to watch if you&amp;amp;#8217;re the spouse who&amp;amp;#8217;s looking on from the sidelines. Plus, emotionally, financially, and mentally, there would always be someone with a very deep connection to your husband who existed before you came along. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t think dating a guy with kids is an insurmountable challenge. But it would certainly add a lot of complicated layers to your relationship, right? Would you marry a guy with kids? Would it matter how many kids he had? Or how old they were?
