He’s always with his grandkids so this letter writer is starting to date other men.
He is a great, easygoing man who I do love dearly, and I know he loves me, too. Here is the caveat: We both have grandkids from our previous marriages. I feel as most grandmothers do that my grandkids are the loves of my life. He feels the same about his grandchildren.
We used to do things together during the day , but now days like that are few and far between. I never say anything because I understand his feelings for his grandchildren, and I don’t want to start any fights or create ill feelings.Lately, I’ve started noticing other men — I think more out of the need for companionship than anything else. And, yes, I have dated a few other men and have been intimate with two men. I do feel some guilt, but not enough to cease looking.
I recently struck up a friendship with a lovely younger woman. We have many things in common, despite the difference in age. She is married and has a young child. She has always said she only wanted one child, but recently has started talking about having a second. One way to cope with challenging emotions is to recognize them when they arise, to accept the reasons behind them and to allow yourself to feel them, understanding that they will subside. It would help if you explained your history to your friend. You can tell her that pregnancy brings up complicated emotions for you.
