I’ve been on a few of dates with a man who has three children. His children are 2, 8 and 10. Him and his ex partner are not on the best of terms, I believe she is still madly in love with him and they were together for 10 years so I understand it is hard to let go especially when you didn’t want the relationship to end. They have been separated for a year now.
As much as I really like this man I am unsure of whether or not this is too much baggage for me to take on? I am 25 years old with a demanding career, I have no children of my own and would like children in the future. He has told me he would not like more children in the future out of respect for his other three children but if he met the right person he may be swayed on this decision. Am I jumping in two feet first and getting ahead of myself or am I being practical and wanting to know what I want before this gets any future.
I’d love to hear other people’s views and experiences.
