Hey, I apologize if I made you feel like you needed to defend yourself. That wasn't intended as an argument or refutation. I just wanted to unpack one little sentence and provide a perspective on it. You know yourself and it sounds like you're making the right call for you.

I get what you're saying, and if that's your perspective then, absolutely, dating someone with kids isn't something you shouldn't be doing. But you did ask for it when you dated someone with kids. Not saying your perspective is wrong, but the wording might be.

I've been in plenty of situations I don't want to be in again where I didn't know I'd feel that way before I was. Some learning experiences aren't as pleasant as others.
