Dear Prudence

Dear Prudence: The “Falling for My Co-Parent” Edition

I took over custody of my sister’s son, and now I think I’m in love with his father. Help!

Prudence is joined by Baby Ange, host of the podcast Femme Too Deep. First up, I was incredibly turned off after having sex with this man—how do I tell him I’m no longer interested? Next, I’m a father who’s struggling with watching my teenage daughter grow up. Then, I took over custody of my sister’s son and am co-parenting with his biological father. Now we’re falling in love—should we go for it? And finally, I’m worried my brief courtship with a recently widowed woman ended because of some inconsiderate comments I made.
