“Dear Therapist: I’m Dating a Divorced Man With Kids, and It’s Harder Than I Thought – His Ex Wife Calls Constantly” (She Needs To Dump This Guy)
This is one example of why I don’t want to date a divorced man (if I can avoid it), especially one who has kids from a previous relationship.

Excerpts:
His ex-wife is constantly texting and calling him about problems with their kids, and I can’t help but feel annoyed.

Dear Therapist,
I’ve been dating Adam for two and a half years. I’m 33 and childless, and he’s 48, divorced, and the father of three kids. We seem to keep having the same fights about his needy ex-wife and the negative impact she has on our relationship.
Despite my wish to appear mature and chill, I have a strong distaste for the ex-wife. She doesn’t work, and she collects disability from the government and spousal support and child support from Adam.
