It's pretty unusual for women to be willing to give up custody of their children, however, joint custody is now the norm in many states, and so many women expect joint custody when they go into a divorce -- not sole custody.

I am dating a great guy. We're both in our 50s. I have never been married and he is widowed with three children in their 20s.

Because his kids are all grown and have moved out of the house, I didn't think too hard about them when we started dating. Still, I looked forward to meeting them. It turns out they are less-than-forthcoming towards people who date their dad.

He has told me not to worry about it and that they'll warm up to me eventually, but I am concerned that if I do something wrong they'll hate me forever. I know that he couldn't spend his life with a woman who wasn't getting along with his family. Any advice for winning them over?
