Hello,

Thank you for writing in to Just Answer.

You are clearly based with a difficult situation. On the one hand you want to be in a relationship with this woman on the other hand you feel that there are too many obstacles (custody issues etc.). I think what you need to do is feel absolutely certain about the relationship before going back to her. Since she is a single mom with three daughters who is fighting a custody battle with her ex-husband, she is clearly in a vulnerable place. It would be difficult and emotionally damaging for her as well as her daughters if you go in and out of her life. I would therefore recommend that you give the matter some thought and only if you feel that you can wholeheartedly commit to a long-term relationship with her should you consider going back.

If you are unsure, or feel like you're not quite ready yet then it means that you're struggling with certain unresolved conflicts and it wouldn't be advisable to go back to the relationship if you're in that stage.

I hope this was helpful.
