[...] So, quite a few single mom bloggers have fallen in love lately — and more than a few women are now living with their new partners. (Congrats!) [...]

Having read through Momma Sunshine's and Canadian Bald Guy's blogs back to the end of their relationship, I would offer them one advice only: Love is sometimes like a salve that brings out all the yuck from the past that needs healing. That maybe fear, or pain, or sadness, or guilt, or loss, or anger. You feel these feelings while in the relationship, but they may not be about your current relationship at all. It's good to be able to tell what the feelings are actually about - the current situation or the echo from the past. I wish you two all the happiness in the world.

Well…i’ve been in a LDR for about 9 months now and we have been on the rocks for 2 and “broke up” 2 weeks ago. After a self-imposed week of no communication I figured out that I’d engaged in telling him (and myself) “shades” of how I felt rather than laying out there what my true wants and needs are. I brought this back to the table, with no expectations, and shared that what I really “wanted” was him to come to me…give us a real chance to have the relationship. I am the one with the child (he is solo) and I am not capable of taking her away from her Daddy. Well…honesty does seem to have taken us in a different direction; he came out for the long weekend and had the best one ever! I have been completely honest, with myself and him for once, and feel that whatever does happen I am at peace with the relationship. I also know that if I do move forward into a new relationship with someone I can start out with the honesty card.

So my advice…chuck the grayness when it comes to deciding what you each want and need. It doesn’t mean these are all deal breakers, but at least the relationship isn’t built on false expectations.

Thanks to everybody for the comments (and to Rachel for the post!). Sunshine and I have reached a point where we truly believe in the "real deal"...that true love isn't just something that happens in a fairytale or a television movie of the week. So I guess that makes us both hopeless romantics. But the great thing about where we are right now is that we're totally content with whatever happens after this. If this doesn't work out, then at least we'll know that we gave it our all. At this point, however, we think we know what is going on between us. We've each been through the ringer. We're each in our mid-30's. We know when something is real. And it doesn't get any more real than this. So hopefully people won't mind us blogging about each other anytime soon...because I don't think it's likely to stop. Thanks again!! Canadian Bald Guy´s last blog post...Best Weekend Ever: part two

All very inspiring guys. And CBG lives 3 hrs away huh? So basically anywhere on the mainland or further up the coast from NS? The dear wife & I never lived closer than 1000KM before we were married. We were always in different states. With no Facebook. Ummm No email. Err.. no cell phones either. Think about it. Yep, nothing but stage coaches & horses for us... No really. Just the phone & mail. And it can happen. It has happened throughout history. Think about all those sailors gone for months at a time from Halifax. (OK let's not think about that). It's not that far a drive. Pretty too.

I thought I would pull out a Morrie quote for the love birds. “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in." - Morrie Schwartz SingleParentPlus2´s last blog post...Teaching my children to resolve conflict on their own

I am not familiar with either of their blogs, but after reading this post, how can anyone not be rooting for them?

My best piece of advice for any budding relationship is not to start something you can’t finish. In other words, be yourself, and show your true colors at all times! There’s nothing worse than someone being one way in the beginning (often when the relationship is new and very intriguing), and then the person changing, or perhaps getting “comfortable” and ultimately taking the other for granted, later. That sucks! ALWAYS be considerate of your mate, COMMUNICATE openly and honestly, and always treat him/her how you want to be treated!

Funny. Right before I came here, I ran across Momma Sunshine's blog which lead me to CBG's blog. First thing I thought was how courageous they both are and yes I want them to have the 'happily ever after' thing. What can I say? I'm a hopeless romantic.

Advice!? I am not the person to give advice about successful relationships!

Best wishes to them, though, it’s nice to see people with the guts to try again.

No advice, just glad to "see" a happy love story unfold. Their posts have brought tears to my eyes, really. I'm so happy for them. As a funny sidenote - I did read both of their blogs and never put 2 & 2 together that they were referring to each other. Duh... So glad they "outed" themselves. And they look so damn happy!
