I have been dating this woman for nearly 2 years. She has two girls from a previous marriage (we have both been married and divorced twice). She says she loves me and I know that I am very much in love with her, have been since I first saw her.

The problem has several aspects: 1- While her ex (the father of both girls) had partial custody he abused them. Both girls show all the classical signs but only the youngest, 6 years old, admits that he did. The courts do not believe the girls and so custody battles continue. 2- because of the abuse the youngest girl is very stand offish with me, even though I spoil all of them and try everything I can to win her over. The oldest daughter 9, loves me. 3- She and the girls live with her parents and have ever since she left him 3 years ago. 4- There is never a lot of time for me because she works long hours and feels guilty about not spending time with the girls so she devotes most of her time to them. 5- Because both ex's turned out to be real ******* she has put me in that category if we were to get married so she says she will never get married again to anyone. HELP! Do I stay and keep trying or do I move on? I really do love her and want to spend my life with her and I do believe that she loves me. I see it and I feel it when we do have some time together.

I have been seeing this woman for about three months. We had a great relationship and I fell very hard and fast for her. We could make love for hours on end and each of us have multiple orgasms each time. The problem is the last time we made love, I made a mistake and went by accident to the wrong place. She was very ready and I really did not know. Since then she has been distant, remote and hardly communicates with me at all. She says she forgives me, but I never get to see her now. I have apologized over and over again, but can't seem to get her trust back. Any suggestions? What can I do to prove to her that it was an accident and that I still love her very much.

I am mid 50's and dating a woman in her early 20's. We have a lot of fun together, talk a lot and see eye to eye on most topics. She is very mature for her age and gives the impression of a much older person. She enjoys life and has awakened in me feelings that I thought were dead. Most of her family accept me and the relationship, but she is very close to her grandparents and will not commit to the relationship completely without their approval and as of now they do not approve. Should I walk away or fight for the girl I love?
