I am 44F no kids and he’s 43M with three kids ages 4,6 and 9. He’s in the final stages of divorce. They have nailed down 50/50 custody and he’s buying her out of the house they bought so the kids can stay in their old home 1/2 the time. He’s very involved with kids after school activities like 4H, scout leader, soccer coach for his daughter’s team. He also goes to church on Sunday but still finds time to see me at least once during the week and every other weekend.

Anyway…I don’t know what I’m expecting by writing this, but I guess I am both optimistic and skeptical that this can work out long term.

I love kids, just never had any of my own. He was with his wife for 14 years and I’m the first person he’s been with since. They haven’t lived together for almost a year. I am 6 months out from a 4 year relationship.

To add another layer to the cake, we are both in early sobriety from alcoholism. He has 10 months sober and I have 100 days.

Thoughts and advice anyone?

(44F) I’ve been eating clean and do daily walks and easy bike rides but I’m not losing much weight. My doctor said my liver is fatty and gave me a metformin script to help me drop some lbs.

I’ll be ramping up to 2000mg per day after a two weeks. Has anyone tried this?
