What really matters:
Recently I ended a relationship with someone I had been dating for a few months. There were several reasons, but right at the top of the list was that I didn't like the way he was dealing with my child. Since then I've been thinking about what I really want in a relationship and how much what I'm looking for has changed since I've become a mom. For example, when I was younger I might have wanted someone that was fun and spontaneous, now I want someone that's a little uptight and really into safety standards :) Yep, those geeky types are looking a lot better now that I've grown up a little. Seriously though, I've realized that probably the most important thing I'm looking for is how a person treats my son and myself. Interests might be different, or might change over time, but a man's personality and the way he treats you will generally remain the same.

I feel similar in regards to what to look for in a relationship. In my early 20's I was looking for someone who will rather guide me in life and lift me up. I was so wrong and naive... I think that now, in my early 30's I am more ready for a true relationship. What I look for is a loving friendship, something that will last and grow stronger every day. I feel so lucky because my new boyfriend is my son's best friend, I could not ask for more.
By the way- I trully enjoy reading your blog!
