I recently re-connected with a guy I was friends with like 20 years ago via the internet. We were close friends in our teens and have kept in touch sporadically over the years. We have both felt some romantic interest in the past, however the timing was always wrong...either he was with someone or I was, etc. so nothing ever moved beyond friendship.
I have been divorced for three years and he just barely got divorced this month. We have talked about perhaps going beyond friendship this time, but his divorce is so fresh that he has not breached the topic of dating again to his ex-wife.
My question: Do you really need to let your ex-spouse know you're going to start dating again once you are divorced???
They do share custody of a child, but we've agreed that I wouldn't even meet the child until such time as we knew the relationship was going to be serious.
Am I wrong here? Does this seem odd? How long should I give him to tell his wife he wants to date someone?
