Mine are "No-don't move in with him until you have actually seen the divorce papers and know for a fact that he has made proper arrangements for his children" and "Use absolutely rock solid contraception controlled by you until all the ends have been tied up and you're as sure as you can be that this is for the long term."

I'm sure we all have stuff we want to say!
Mine would be - why are women (in particular) so desperate to be with someone that they put up with utter dross rather than be single and happy.
Also - why have kids with someone when you're not married, or have only been together 5 minutes. Why even move in with someone at the drop of hat? These things take time!
Lastly - if you're the 'other woman' - you DO know the cheating bastard will do the same to you?

Gosh, so now we mustn't just state obvious common sense out loud, we mustn't even think it? Hmm

Don't even think about having kids til you've got your shit together

No.

I ended up getting pregnant by a waste of space (long story). I ditched him, went alone (no maintenance) and met and married a wonderful man when my son was 4. HE is my sons dad, we haven't seen his biological father for 30 years.

I'm really happy that it worked out for you -but it doesn't for a hell of a lot of kids whose mums have babies with men they already know are a bit shit so I'm not sure what your point is here.
