I've been separated for 3 years, but only officially divorced 3 months. I've met someone fairly recently, but honestly it's getting serious quickly and we are really talking and thinking about a future together.

We are both divorced and we both have similar aged children (early teens). When should we introduce each other to our children? And when should we introduce our children to each other? I feel like I'm ready to start this process but I guess there's a little voice in my head asking if it's too soon and what if we end up breaking up? What timeline has worked for anyone else? OR not worked I guess...
