Hope you know its just a 4yr old kid he's talking about..seven months deciet but he still decided that he wants to get married to her. The problem for him is because the child is living with them now. If he's not interested he doesn't need to bring the issue here he should call it quits and not guilt trip the lady because she has a kid.

You mean until a rowdy child that doesn't belong to him was brought into his house that he couldn't put in order because that's not his child and the mother won't let him?

You people should try and see some things from a man's perspective too.
Men are not just ATMs. He is dealing with a lot emotionally too...
The 7 month long deceit has been on his mind, combined with the new reality of that deceit when the child moves in, and the reality of being unable to take specific action on said child because the mother will remind him that is not his child (except when it comes to the finance, making him a maga).

If women expanded their mind and saw some things from the perspective of men sometimes, there will be fewer fights.

Sometimes it takes some time for reality to set in.
He was still high on her manipulations after the 7 month reveal.
He was still sorting out his emotions.

As time passed, and reality of what his life would be became korokoro, and how he would essentially end up being a maga, he has come to the conclusion that the best choice for him in this scenario is to subtract himself from the equation and start something pure as he always intended.

Serves her right. Next time she won't hide such important details that long from a man she is dating.

after reading his story he definitely has only one problem "the child" and i wonder, when he has his own 4yr old throwing tantrums will he send him or her away? Because after finding out she had a kid he still wanted to marry her. If you love someone be it single or not you have to be ready to work together thats why marriage is for better for worse not for better for cherry picking.

You must be a female.
Your solipsism is extreme.

With his own 4 year old, it will be his child and he will have every motive to wade through that personal storm.
Get it. This 4 year old.... is. not. his. child. And to make it worse, it's HER child, making him an outsider in his own house.

Another man's kid is different from his kid that he contributes in bringing into existence and has been in the kid's life from day one the kid comes into existence. So don't compare them; they are two different things.

What your kid will do to you that you will overlook or count as nothing; someone else kid will do the same thing to you and you'll be furious about it.
Re: In A Relationship With A Single Mom; Please Advise by madeinnigeria: 11:35pm On Feb 25, 2020
So i must be a female before i can show love, have empathy towards others. When you realise a child is a child whether blood related or not you'll understand my point of view better.

I am guessing you see those who adopt kids even after having their own as crazy. Life is not that complicated its not until you father a child biologically you can show love.

Adopting is VERY different from the unfair dynamics that already exists when stepping into a single mum situation.
The man will always be an outsider. You see that even in the OP's write up when he tries to correct the boy. That is when she reminds him that that is not his child.

So if she herself knows that, then what is the point of him still financially supporting them like a maga?

With adopting, there is no pre-existing dynamic.
BOTH parties are equally getting to know the child, much as it would be if the child was BOTH of yours.

Two very very different things here.

Tricked? The guy found out and didn't call it quits. He went ahead to marriage talk after awhile. Problem arose when the child started living with then. I have an issue with the reason he gave for not wanting the relationship anymore. That's why i ask what does he expect from a 4yr old child?

There's no where in the story that says the girl is using him as maga or whatever. He's an adult ig he feels like an outsider he shouldn't have gone to marriage stage the start complaining later

Adopted kid is different from a kid that his/her father is still alive and the father can claim his kid at any time. Adopted kid only has one parents (adopted parents) which is legally backed up and no one can wake up in the morning and claim the kid. Unlike the other kid that has two fathers: biological father a.k.a sperm donor and step father a.k.a financial sponsor. The biological father can still claim the kid and also the kid may not regard the step father or respect him because he's not his real father. In the case of Op, the mother is already given the sign because she's always angry whenever op corrects the kid for any wrongdoings because she thinks he's not the real father, so he doesn't have the right to beat her kid which means she still sees him as an outsider. Maybe if the kid don reach 19 or 20 year old, na to de join hand with him mama de beat Op blue black. grin grin grin

this is called BAIT AND SWITCH... and if you dont like the new situation then jejely walk away NOW. you should never accept the unacceptable, and as much as you may care for the babe, if you dont like what her "total package" is then tell her:" thanks and bye bye!"

its not everybody that can raise another man's child, its not every child that a stranger can raise, its not a necessity for you to become who you dont want to be, under the guise of love. be honest to this lady and simply walk away!

Nope. That's a first date thing TBH.

In this day and age, I highly encourage people to ask "Do you have kids?" right from the first date.
There are people who are okay with you being a parent and will continue, and there are people who will end it there if its an issue for them.

Not everyone will be okay with that life configuration.
Whether it be man or woman.

Yes she doesn't. She doesn't even have friends, she is always at home most times, only goes out when I tell her we should go out or except she goes to her trainee work as an auxiliary nurse but she is done with that...

Am not saying she flirts or does something of such,but don't you think she is being submissive because of her baggage?.....Her real character and person will come up once she gives you a baby

I was in a relationship with a single mum for like 3 months, sometimes around last year. There are somethings i observed during the relationship. (1)d lady was still communicating with the father of d child (2) The child is number one and her ultimate love (3) She still love the father of the child secretly, because she will tell me some things he's good at frequently.

OP, once u are in a relationship with a single mum, u are number 2 to her and there is one thing I'm very sure of, she will still be avin sex with her ex if he's still alive.

Don't trade ur joy out of pity or being a good samaritan. If u can't eat it, don't smell it. Peace.

[quote author=MrCaesar post=86912251]The child is her son and she loves him. It is very natural for her to get angry when you mistreat him. It is her responsibility to take care of the child, and if you must marry her, it because an indirect responsibility of yours. It is very understandable if you are not comfortable with him around. So, talk things out with her, if she's understanding, she will understand. You people should go and see her mom and convince her to take back the child. See, there is nothing manly about complaining about the school fees you paid, just because he isn't your child. You should be able to do it for someone else even though they are not related to you. Once the mother accepts the child, please be supportive.

He won't forget you when he grows. [Why are you so hypocritical?]

ubunja:
and those men after raising other men's kids what thanks do they get? Remember that famous American NBA star raised by a step father when awarded an award got up to thank only his mother. Not even one mention of step dad. Even though its step dad who spent his life teaching the boy basketball and spending his time and money. Being a step father is a thankless job.

@ubunja I don't know about your wayward life o, but I can easily tell you that all your points are intact die... There was this girl staying with us from the age of 12, her mum and dad were alive but they brought the girl to my parents to help them to take care of her, my dad sponsored her sec school, she went to nursing school before tertiary institution, if my Dad has #200 and we all go to him that Dad we are hungry o, he will give the #200 and told we his biological children to go and meet our mum to give us money to eat because if he did not give the girl the money no where she will get money to eat. So after this girl graduated from tertiary institution and got a better job got married to a wealthy guy, if I tell you say over 6 years don comot for our side she never use one day come our house to come check on us, and she dae always send money to get parents wie be say them never use one day send her or check on her when she dae our side. I told my Dad one day that if God one punish her make she see me for road and call me "my brother" the wie I go stone her ehn.

Dude, any woman who gets so disrespectful as to VERBALLY compare you with some guy she used to date, should be kicked TF out your life.
I see some wimps tolerate that shit from their women sometimes and I don't know how they allow it (maybe she pays the bills).

Even if she thinks she is joking, that's some disrespectful shit.
My view is: If the other guy was truly all that, your busted ass would still be with him, so STFU or leave.

Trust me. It sucks.

But we should thank God for that

It's because we easily change our minds and analyze a lot that we can see through women's manipulations, pretense, duplicity, and prevarications.

From the result of my research, I found than a vast majority of male germinis aged 30 or above think and have views like ubunja.

really bro. My mind changes too much. And lately its getting worse. Need to get a grip.

Dating a single mother is a package.... mother and child.... both together.... love them both.... or keep it moving. In your case..... if you think things are bad now.... wait until you become married. She sprung the child on you.... and you accepted....didn't reconsider the relationship.... red flag didn't go up. There are other surprises waiting for you..... go ahead and get married because she is soooooo pretty and you love her soooooo much. We would be right here like Emergency Room waiting for you.

Have found a way to tame my mind.

Naturally, you are always hyperactive and restless.

Here are some solutions

1. You need to learn how to mediate. These songs will help. Listen to the following songs. Check Youtube for these: 1 hour of best relaxing music, 2 hours of relaxing music chinese bamboo flute, 2 hours of the best traditional chinese music relacing music, greatest budhaa music of all time, and powerful music to remove negative energy, the best of leo rojas.

2. Take lemon, lime, or grape. You can mix it with honey. It helps a lot too

3. Do any form of exercise that will increase your heart beat.

4. Meet new people or read new content. Let me recommend these sites for you. https://illimitablemen.com/ or www.revolutionarylifestyledesign.com
I have screenshot this. And I'll definitely try out your suggestions. Because I really need to get a handle of this thing. It's affecting my form.

But i have always been suspicious of meditation but I'll look into it.

Thanks brotherman. I appreciate the info you shared. God bless.
