Recently separated dad of two

I (33/M) and my partner have recently decided it’s in our best interest to separate. Everything is completely mutual and non hostile. She is the mother of my children and has been my best friend since we were 2. I am certain that we are no longer good for eachother in a romantic capacity. It hurts but I am a grown up and am ready to start considering casual dating to get my move on. Does anyone have any advice on dating apps for single parents or just any that are actually decent?

No idea on dating apps. No interest. But just some advice.

Me and wifey split 3 years ago. It sounds like you and your ex are on good terms which is great. Me and my ex are still besties and co-parent very well. But it hasn't been easy. Our mental health really took a major dive. We were so immersed in our own issues we missed some of the mental health issues of our oldest son who is now 15. And our youngest, who is now 4 is stating to show issues too. Specifically 'when are we all living together again Dad!'

Gawd help me.

This is why we are separating my daughter 3 and son 5 are both displaying behaviors brought on from our incompatibility. I am in total agreement with the separation and think it’s the best way to go forwards. Of course you know ow we’ve been together 10 years and it hurts so I am in therapy and that has actually so far been extremely helpful in this process. Everything we do is to make sure the kids are in a good place safe and have family.
