Gentlegirl Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I'm new here but have been on another forum. Got out of a toxic relationhip over a year ago and starting to feel good, ready to meet new people. I have had two dates with a really nice man. We click and have lots in common. YES, there is a big BUT. He has legal guardianship of his 7 year old grandon. The daughter is an ex heroin addict and can't cope with the child full time. That's fine. I admire all he is doing but he asked me out today on a third date and said he would bring the boy if it was ok with me. I was honest and said that I didn't want to go out with him for a whole day with the child along. I feel it will be an ongoing issue. I just want a friend to date at the moment. I am feeling that I should get out of this friendship now because he is attempting to introduce the child into it. DRATS!!!!!! He is a really nice guy. Cheers, Gentlegirl ps Input would be appreciated. We are both in out sixties so not spring chickens.

Well , the kid is not going to go away so I guess you either stay just friends , you accept the kid or you are honest with him and say it is a little too much . It will hurt , but he needs to be wiith a woman who won't mind the child . It is fair , when you meet someone you just want to spend time with them . Maybe talk to him and ask if he is willing to meet you without his grandson until you are ready ?
