New girlfriend and timing for introduction

D

1w ago1 min read

Been single for about 18 months since the divorce and I'm finally seeing someone. She's great but I have no idea when it's appropriate to introduce her to my kids. They're 7 and 9. Is it too soon if we're only 3 months in? Don't want to confuse them or make them feel like I'm replacing their mom. What's the general consensus here?

This is such a personal call, but I'd lean toward waiting until you're pretty confident this relationship has some real legs. The kids have been through enough change already, so moving slow there just makes sense.

Congrats on finding someone great after all this time. I'd say wait until things feel solid and consistent between you two, maybe a few months in, then have a real conversation with your ex about timing. Your kids will pick up on your happiness, and that matters.
