Thankful
Statistics say it takes about 5 years on average for a family to successfully blend .. I can see this in my own situation. There’s been a lot of ups and downs but we’re finally in a place where me and so know how to get and stay on one accord.
There’s a time to be patient & then there’s a time where you have to be willing to draw your line in the sand and when you do the latter and your partner reflects and meets you where you’re at .. THAT’S who you keep doing THIS life with (or the one where you never had to do that).
I’ll tell any woman who listen, THIS life is not worth it with the wrong person. But with the right person & given the work this lifestyles forces you to have to do as individuals and a couple it will create a connection with depth, trust and fulfillment.
Your needs can be met in a blended family and with a partner who has a child with someone else .. it’s ALL about if they are willing and able to be willing and able.
Hopefully this is a refreshing post for some and a confirmation for others.
