I have a great boyfriend I have been with for 3 months. He is divorced with no kids, and I am divorced with 3 young boys. He loves them to death, however he has been single for over 2 years and I have only been for a short time. I am use to the family life as it is all I've known for quite some time. He told me he just has to get use to being around someone or all of us all the time. Its a little different for him. I know he loves me very much and adores my boys, but I am scared. Is there something I can do or say that will help me relax a little while he adjusts to the family setting vs the single setting.
Also I have split custody with the boys father so I have them half the week.
Thanks Smiler

Welcome Erika,

I've seen people jump into situations like that and everything works out wonderfully. However, I've seen the opposite.

Three months isn't much time. People are still on their best behavior at that point. If he's expressing a little concern there may be more concern than he's showing. Just be careful and give it some time.

Thank you for your advice. His concern is only that he has been single and without anyone with him everyday and I am opposite. I agree that 3 months is not much time I myself enjoy being a family and the whole family atmosphere so it is a hard thing for me to grasp, however I know patience is something I need to work on.
