Pregnancy & dating...

The guy I've been seeing (who is widowed) just found out a few days ago that his ex fling may be pregnant with his child. He swears up & down he doesn't want to lose me & he doesn't have feelings for her, but of course he wants to be in the child's life.

I have so many trust issues with men with baby mamas...

Please, advice!

I would walk away (or run, like Svarog said) but that's mostly because I hate children and don't want to be saddled with the stress of dealing with some other lady's spawn every other weekend. I highly doubt you wanna get caught in the middle of that.

He has the right to see the child IF IT IS TRULY HIS CHILD. He should really consider going to get tested before supporting this child. If he found out when the kid was 10 it's not his... he'd be really f*** pissed.

As for you, you may become 'second' on his priority list once that child is born. You'll have to consider whether that is OK with you or break it off now. You don't want to be that 'woman' who watches from a distance another family being raised... ya just don't.

I didn't say that at all, these are all the things he's told me. I don't know what to believe, nor expect... But I know women can pull the pregnancy card to get a man's attention. She really could be pregnant... She could be lying. It could be the other mans, she could be upset that he's seeing me & wanted to lure him in... He could be lying.. I DONT KNOW. Anything I could ask him or ways to let him know I'm not going to fuck around & be lied to or stepped on if I continue to see him.
I am worried, I do have trust issues..

@Thisoneplace: you want to believe she lied to trap him...get with him...keep him. That is all you say. He is a POS. You need to move the hell on and find a MAN... not a selfish "it's not my fault" little boy. Stop enabling him. Red flags everywhere but you refuse to see them.

It's actually not uncommon for a woman to lie about being pregnant???

I'd also like to put out, that he had sex with her long before he met me

Well... it can't have been that long.

@Aiyana: I'm not one to get mad or judge who he's seen before me.. We all have past lovers.

it couldn't have been too long..
after seeing him for a few months, he's looking for a long term commitment and Lay's this news on you?
cudos for his honesty but this is a lot to think about.. is this really what you bargained for? it doesn't sound like it..

I see Major drama in your future... unless you get out now

well this is an iffy situation at your age - well any age really. As you age it is very common for men to have children with other females. So on one hand you have to decide if you can accept that or not BUT this case is different because he isn't very sure if he is the dad. My advice to you is to not see him until he has all his ducks in a row. It may or may not mean you can resume after the child is born. But discuss with him that since he doesn't know yet if (or how) a baby is going to change HIS life it's not very reasonable to anticipate how much the situation will affect yours either by dating him. If he's not the dad and you're still both single great, you can reconvene later. Otherwise it's too much a risk and too much an investment to make at this time on ur end.
Wait till the kid is born, then test and validate. If it's his, then leave.

He's definitely getting a paternity test, in the next few months
In the meantime, just hold off any long term plans with him.

He & the woman are not together, I'm certain of that. We've spent a lot of time together & he doesn't have time to be seeing another woman behind my back

Thisoneplace · 31-35, F
Update, he has it on recording that it was the other dudes kid & she was doing it for the money... So glad that bullet was dodged!
