RomanceClass.com Advice
It sounds like there are a number of issues being played out here, what with her divorce and the kids and working together. This is a recipe for difficult times. It's good that you are looking to talk about it and solve the problems that you two face. I suggest fairly strongly that you get into counselling and perhaps bring the kids to family counselling. This will give you a neutral ground to work out all the issues and make a solid foundation for your relationship. You need to find ways of working out the problems without fighting. Focus on what's best for the relationship, not what one or the other wants. It'll take a lot of compromising and teamwork to make it all peaceful.

Good luck!
