Divorcing my ex-wife was not surprising. Everyone knew that our relationship was doomed, maybe even before we did. I was sorry, but don’t want to cry over spilled milk.

I wanted to start living again

I tried to get back on my feet as soon as possible. I didn’t want to mourn a failed relationship because of our children – Ed (3) and Kristina (1.5). We wanted to show them that even though mom and dad have decided to go their separate ways, nothing changes for them. How many such blended families are there? It’s not unusual and I believed I could find them a good stepmom.

Lenka (25) showed up at just the right moment. She was beautiful and kind. She could make me laugh and knew exactly what to say to put me at ease. The six months we have been together have been like a dream. I am extremely happy and Lenka is certainly the same.

New girlfriend doesn’t like my kids

Our idyll can be described simply. The best and most wonderful thing is when we are alone. We enjoy wonderful walks, spend hours in bed and are there for each other above all else. The moment the children come to me, it’s something else. All of a sudden, Lenka shuts down completely, she doesn’t talk to me or them and is only on her mobile phone and typing something.

I don’t want her to babysit them, but it would be enough for me if she took at least a little interest in them. That’s how it went for the first few months, now Lenka refused to go to my place completely. When you find out I’m going to have kids with me, she’ll find some excuse so she doesn’t have to go.

I was hoping that we would create a new family together

I’m sorry. I wish I could find a wonderful new friend for the kids to laugh with. But Lenka doesn’t behave like that. He has no interest in my children, no feelings for them or trying to please them. It makes me uncomfortable to watch because this is not exactly how I imagined it.

I hoped that we would create a new family and Lenka would be their surrogate mother. But she is not up to it. I don’t know why she even started dating me when she knew very well that I had children. It must have been clear to her that this would mean a much bigger commitment for her. However, Lenka takes it as a game. He only wants me, and preferably without children.
