My name is Simi, I have just joined this site, and I think it is amazing. I have been a single parent for seven years now with a child, I have the most adorable boy in the world. I have not dated any one for about four years now, because i am scared, I am currentely in a relationship and I like my boy friend alot, so does he, I have noticed this in his actions, we are about three month now,and we are happy.
The problem I have with him, is that he is in another relationship abroad, but not married or engaged he is commimted to her and am scared he will leave me one day for her, as I live only with my son in uk , my family are back home. I am a teacher and i am 33 years of age, though everyone says I look 25. Please can anyone advise me how to keep this realationship going without failing. We have no problems at the moment.
Can I get advise on how to run a business as well? I am starting my own afterschool lesson on the 4th of April next month.
Hi sosude sweet
Welcome to One Space, very happy to hear you like our site 
You have been a single parent for 7 years and you haven't dated anyone for 4 years, but you currently have a boyfriend...how did you meet?
If your boyfriend is in a committed relationship with someone else, what is he doing with you? Personally I don't think this is fair on you, or your son.
Can you ask him what his intentions are? Is he planning to go abroad and be with her? Does he have children with this other woman?
I feel that this is making you feel uncomfortable and is not a healthy relationship for you or your son. It will teach your son that it is ok to be disloyal. Does this other woman know about you? That her boyfriend is cheating on her?
You ask how to keep this relationship going, to be honest I think it will carry on as long as you let it. If he is not concerned that he is being unfair on you, your son or this other woman, he wouldn't want to end it.
Now running a business, a whole different ball game! Here are some links to look at:

to get you thinking!
Was there anything in particular you need to know about running a business? Are you running the afterschool lessons at your home or in school?
Hello sosude sweet
A warm welcome from me too 
Another of our members was getting some info from the JobCentre about starting a business and some financial help that may be available, click here to see the thread where this is discussed.
Hi,
I have not been on the internet for some time now, thanks for all your advise and support with my business. With my boy friend I will do some thing postive about it, we would remain just friends. With my business, I will go to the money site. Thanks
hI,
Forgot to add, he doesn't have any child/children with this woman or any other woman. He is not married to her, but commimted. but I get your point and understand and apperciate fully, will do somethinmg fast about it.
Hey sosude sweet
I am glad that you hear what is being said about your boyfriend. No-one here wants to sound nasty, we just want to save you from being hurt.
Best of luck with your business, how is it going?
Hi
This is a great site. It sounds likes you have achieved so much in your time as a lone-parent with your son, and teaching too, which is no easy task.
Good luck with your business. I feel there is a lot of call for after school lessons, and am sure you'll do well. There could well be some advice on running a business in the money section

one thing I would say though is to keep a diary of your hours, and an account of your records on a spreadsheet (quite adequate despite what ever anyone else selling packages may say).
I find it difficult to comment much on your relationship as I'm don't feel able to be positive about it. Someone is going to get hurt, and, in my view point, I'm not sure if I could trust someone who has an affair...
