I personally know a woman whose children were sexually abused by her boyfriend. The male in that case was a pillar of the community until he committed suicide after having been found out. When I was raising my offspring, males were off limits. I agree with you absolutely when you say that such males are suspect.
“I agree with you absolutely when you say that such males are suspect.”
I guess I wasn’t commenting in the context of males being “suspect” — although it is a consideration and I hadn’t thought of that. I don’t have kids (my choice) and it seemed that my single friends who dated men with children had high drama and angst ten times higher than if they’d have been in just one-on-one relationships with a guy. And, once married, it was 20 times worse.
