HuffmanMontana Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I'm curious if any guys have continued the relationship with the kids? The relationship was less than a year long but the kid and I got pretty close. My ex has always maintained contact with me post breakup and tells me often that the kid has been asking about me, etc. I think I may have made a error in judgement by suggesting that the kid and I hangout. My ex was ok with this but also said I needed to see the kid regularly or not at all. That makes sense but I'm not really sure what her expectations are. I really do not want to hurt the kid if there is a falling out or something. I think I might have to cancel this at least until it's been discussed in more detail. I also imagine that at some point her BF is not going to be too keen on this situation.
metal_chick Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Ooh... don't. You might end up confusing the kid a bit. Unfortunately, single parents come as a package deal, and they tend to leave as a package deal as well. I'm sorry, that really sucks when you get attached to the kid as well in a relationship. It's probably best you let it go. Cheers.
BC1980 Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I was in a 3 year relationship, and I grew attached to the child and vice versa. To make if worse, this child's mom died when the child was very young. I was essentially the child's mother for 3 years. I saw this child more than my ex because he worked long hours. I found it exceptionally cruel thaty ex allowed him his child and myself to get so close only to end the relationship abruptly. He had already told his child we were getting married, ect. Of course, I never see his child anymore, the child I helped raise for 3 yrs. It's pretty awful, but there is nothing I can do about it. Just makes me see how cold my ex really is.
