What do you think about taking on the responsibility of a 3-year-old child whose biological father has been completely absent since birth? To give you some context, this man intentionally got the girl pregnant during their second sexual encounter, and they weren’t even dating. On top of that, this 40-year-old man has other children with different women and doesn’t care for any of them—except for the youngest child he had with a girl in her early 20s. He only sees that daughter occasionally because he needs help renewing his residence permit, otherwise, he would have to go back to Santo Domingo. Here is my situation: I am 26 years old, and the woman I am seeing is 37. We’ve been dating for a bit; she lives far away, and it takes me 2.5 hours by train to visit her, staying overnight at her place. Within two months, she introduced me to her son in person. Before meeting live, we had already built a bond by playing together on FaceTime, and he even wanted me to call him punctually before he went to sleep. He is a very affectionate child and really likes having a male presence around. His mother couldn’t believe her eyes seeing the chemistry between us. No other man has ever known him the way I have in these past two months. For his birthday, I gifted him a toy laptop of his favorite cartoon (Paw Patrol), and I sent roses to his mom to show her that despite my young age (I’m 26), I know how to appreciate a woman. The thing is, just two days after the last time we saw each other, she told me that she needs someone who can lighten her financial burden, take care of her child, and love him as if he were his own… all of this before getting married, obviously. So she broke up with me. Now I wonder: do you think there is anyone out there with a good career who would accept a relationship like this? P.S. She does not want to have any more children. I don’t like people of my age because they don’t give me the peace that this woman gave me. submitted by /u/TopBoy910
