Divorced Dads Rule

DadHuggingKids

Don’t believe all the web content about how what women want in a man is money, six pack abs, or a dominant personality. When you look at who gets the most dates on dating apps or, more importantly, who has the highest conversion rate from posting a profile on a dating app to deleting it because he is in a long-term relationship, divorced dads win the day. No one is saying that, if you are happily married, you can divorce your wife because other women who are prettier than your current wife and easier to get along with will line up around the block to date you. It does mean that if you are divorced, and you are feeling lost and lonely, hope is on the horizon. Your experiences as a parent and as a co-parent have given you wisdom that you can apply to forming a happy and successful relationship with someone new, and perhaps eventually to forming a blended family. For help establishing a parenting plan that will enable you to keep the peace with your ex-spouse, enjoy a stable relationship with your children, and make room in your life and in your heart for someone new, contact a Boca Raton child custody lawyer.

Divorced Dads Know How to Step Up

If you have co-parented your children with your ex-spouse, you know a thing or two about emotional maturity. Everything that happens during your parenting time is your responsibility, and you eventually embrace this; there is no one to gatekeep or micromanage your relationship with your children, and therefore your bond with your children goes stronger. If your child wakes up in the middle of the night, there is no one but you to patiently soothe her back to sleep, whether it only takes a few cuddles or an hours long Peppa Pig video marathon. When your child is sick, you clean up a repulsive array of bodily fluids without complaint. If you can do this, you can get through the awkwardness of dating without showing off or losing your cool; you realize that your dating partners are three dimensional human beings, much as your children are.

Divorced Dads Understand Boundaries

When you co-parent, you give parenting your full attention during your parenting time. During your ex’s parenting time, though, you also find a way to feel fulfilled and not to let loneliness and regret destroy you. You might spend your time brainstorming business ideas or shooting the breeze with your friends about the Dolphins, the Heat, the Marlins, and Inter Miami. When you enter a new romantic relationship, you have time that is just for you and your partner to spend together. If you take your relationship time as seriously as you take your parenting time, your relationship is sure to start off on the right foot.
