I had a horrifyingly awful breakup with my fiance in August last year. By September I had moved cities, got a new job, got my child into a new school and settled back into my life. I also went out with my girlfriends one night (to drown my sorrows) and met an extremely good looking Kiwi who I ended up having a passionate night with (which was good for my self esteem).
I never intended to see him again but we spent the next 2 months sending text messages which consisted of little more than "Bootie call?" and "when / where?". I was not looking for a boyfriend (in fact made it very clear I wasn't!) and this worked extremely well.
HOWEVER, by November we'd gone to the movies together a few times. Gone to the beach a couple of times. By December he'd met some of my friends and I'd met his. By January we went on a holiday together for 4 days (I should have listened to my wise girlfriend who stated "bootie calls don't go on holidays together" and (horror OH horror) he's started introducing me as his girlfriend.
So, I have accidentally gotten myself a boyfriend. And the timing is so bad. I've basically ended up jumping from one relationship to another without having any "me" time in between!
A lovely boyfriend. A great looking boyfriend. But a thoroughly unsuitable flirty tarty boyfriend.
And I didn't want a boyfriend.
But, I have one and he's so lovely to me that I don't really want to get rid of him.

Maybe you can't imagine how a drunken one night stand could be good for your self esteem, but I appreciate a good looking man. I enjoy passionate love making. I like feeling desired. I get a kick out of (now) dating someone who is VERY good looking.
I think it's sad that some people are so worried about society's expectations that they can't understand that two consenting adults can hook up and both feel good about it.
I totally agree with the part I bolded - its not society's business to judge anyone for what they do with another consenting adult.
life is for living so enjoy yourself!!

OP people are going to judge you one way or another on everything you do and say. The ONLY important things are:
1) Are you happy ?
2) Is your partner happy ?
3) Are the kids happy ?
4) Is everyone open and honest about their expectations and needs ?
If all of the above are in place, enjoy it. Some of the most wonderful things in this life don't come about as we expect them, or when others expect them or how they think they should be.
