88. "You seem like you really love kids in general" In response to In response to 85
You don't seem like the type who would abandon someone's kids but shit happens. People move and not all relationships will end in a way that will make being around possible. At 6 months living together you're relationship is untested, who's to say what might happen. It's one thing for "mom and her boyfriend" to breakup... it's another thing for mom and "dad" to breakup to a kid. Both will hurt but the latter is devastating.
Also, you don't want the kid to get in the habit of thinking anyone his mom dates is his dad. That can fuck a kid up.
Who knows, this one might be the one and you and this kid might be together forever but that is yet to be determined. You need to give that a couple years before you become dad.
I know people only post snippets of their lives here, so we don't get the full picture but you seem to have ridiculous things happen in your relationships... Like they lack stability because the other person is a little crazy and you don't see it until you're way invested. You always try to do the compassionate thing though, maybe to a fault. ___________________________________________________________
