Why do coparents date expecting the next lover to be different and not give them another kid to take care of?

See this so much and it's so dumb how all their friends usually warn them about this new lover and get the result is always the same? One parent taking care of one or two kids ends up with another? It's not just girls any...

Is the dating field hopeless is you are undecided on children and the field is mainly single parents?

So on most of the dating apps it’s mainly single moms and I simply don’t know yet if that’s the route I want to go. I’m feeling this sense of dread because it’s like you have to make this sudden life altering decision...

Unpopular opinion: attractive single women over 35 need to stop dating men their own age and start dating men at least 10 years older. Am I wrong?

To be fair, I’m 40 and just figured this out myself, but I’ve had family members including my father tell me this constantly growing up (my father is 15 years older than my mom. They married when she was 30). I insisted...

Personally, I feel like I’d almost rather have a live-in girlfriend before I decided to marry someone. Just to see how they would behave in a typical married setting. Besides that though, I’ve heard if one is dating in...

I'm upset with my mother, is it fair?
