I Regret Falling In Love

... with someone who has a child. Come on, hate me, go ahead. People who have children are heartless when it comes to relationships, and take my advice: do not get involved with someone who is a parent. Simply because you will never be number one, you'll always come (in the best case scenario) second. No matter how much you love them, and maybe even how much you love their kid(s).
And that is something I would be willing to accept and understand, I was aware of being the "less important" one and I did respect that. But once someone completely runs you over (and reverses, and runs you over again) for the sake of their parenthood, they dare to be mad at you for being hurt and upset. That's the best for my son/daughter, they say, irritated and annoyed with you feeling like the world collapsed. The only feelings they value are the feelings of their kids, and a normal person wouldn't purposely take an adult's time and heart if they weren't interested an adult interaction, but a parent doesn't give a $h!t if you're going to end up fooled and hurt. A parent will lead you on as long as it pleases them and dump you like trash, when things like custody battle occupy them. It maked me sick. Someone who's a crappy person cannot and will not be a good parent to a human being.

Just to clarify, because at this point I don't care, people can know details: as I said, I was respectful of his situation. Before the relationship started I was sceptical and insisted we shouldn't be together, because he has more important things on his plate, being a dad. But he kept saying it'd be fine and that he'll balance everything out. A few months later he decided to go to court to fight for 50/50 custody of his son, and said it would look good in court if he was single, so he broke up with me. I would be semi understanding of it if he was honest with me and said it in my face right away, but instead, he tried everything to push me away, lied it was all about money he didn't have to travel to see me (even though I offered to pay for everything). As I said, parenthood is so, so glorious. :/

@ListenerTalker: I'm sorry about your heart, I don't agree with anything you're saying.

Facts are facts, without people agreeing with them. I got manipulated into a relationship I was scared to go into. Then I was dumped because it would look good.

@ListenerTalker: Those are two "facts". Do you have any concept of how many people you are talking shit on right now? You're pissed of at this guy, leave the rest of us out of it.
