I had a 3 year live-in relationship a couple of years after the children's Dad and I split.
The kids were still littlies, but, man....did they test my new partner.
He was a patient, kind and loving man though.....and eventually won them over.
I think the kids still had this notion I was going to reconcile with their Dad.
Unfortunately the new partner and I separated for various other reasons, and not due to the kids, thankfully.
We stayed platonic friends for a year after we separated and he turned up to the kids birthday parties, soccer and netball games.....but agreed it best to finally let go.

It's not an easy position to be in.....as well as blended families.
