I am recently seperated ( 9 months ) working towards divorce and want to start dating again. Why is it so hard for women to accept that I have a 2 year old daughter and share 50% placement.

Maybe these aren't women you are trying to date. Maybe they are young girls? hmmm A true woman wouldn't have a problem with you being a single dad that is taking responsiblity for your child. I think a real woman would be happy that you are a decent guy for doing this. I think a real woman would want the knowledge that if they were to have a child with you that you would take responsiblity for it just like you have for your daughter. I think you need to look for and date a real woman, not a young girl at heart.

Hi bishu_sinha,
First of all why did you seperated, you should have adjusted and continued your relationship, that too when you have a 2 year old daughter.Now what exactly you want just a dating or relationship - this may be the question that was making the women not to accept, because they don't want to be trapped again.
Good Luck

Some women feel as if there is a child invovled then it means having to have the ex wife in there lives hence possible signs of jealousy or concerns that the man isnt totally over the ex and is worried that the feelings for her may never go away hence leaving no room for for the new women.. or some women dont want hence not likeing children ... there are lots of differnt possible rasons

I seperated and eventually divorced my ex 4 years ago. My youngest daughter was 15 and we included her in the decision of who she wanted to live with, we were living in a rural community and I was moving 2 hrs away, she had gone to that school (which is k -12th grades) since 2nd grade. She decided to stay with her dad, and I agreed to that, I figured why should her life be totally upended just because her dad and I couldn't be together any longer. Believe me, around that small town, it was seen as 'I was leaving my daughter, I was the 'bad' person' even though they didn't know the whole story. And most of those thinking that way were women. I'm not sure why they are so critical of other women but they are. Best thing is do what is best for you and your daughter.
