So nice to find this forum. I've been with my partner for almost six years - we both separated from our spouses because of our relationship. Difficult times for everyone involved to say the least. I have two sons from my previous marriage (7 and 9) and he has two adult kids aged 23 and 26. We have an 18month old son together. His children blame me for the break up of their parents. While his relationship to his kids was rocky at the start it now has strengthened again - but of course he feels guilty.
