beccamalibu Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Do you think it seems awkward when they talk about stuff about their kids in front of you, like the pregnancy, babies, aka just stuff thats probably not a big deal but makes you think you don't have a bond with your significant other like that because you don't have a child together? Or is it just jealousy? How do you deal with it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexMan Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Not at all, my gf has a child and a reasonably friendly relationship with the father. I hardly know the child but we talk about her a lot. Having said that, I've never wanted kids of my own so it doesn't bother me at all that the child's not mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapphireNoir10 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think if your dating someone with kids you have to accept that kind of talk is always going to be around. It's just part of your partners history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indea08 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I don't know if it's "okay" I be bothered by that stuff or not...but I know that it does bother me. Then I realized I don't need other people's permission to feel bothered. If it bothers me, it bothers me. And if its a problem now, it'll always be a problem. So I told SO and he handled it. I have other, more serious issues with him though, so I know that after him, I will probably steer clear of single parents. I'm pregnant so maybe after having the baby I'll feel differently, but right now I am so fed up with the baby momma situation that 1. I do NOT want to ever deal with it again and 2. I will be VERY aware of how I treat SO and his future girlfriend(s) after this baby is born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indea08 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Oh and btw, I think you should beware of advice from those who aren't in the situation. My opinion changed DRASTICALLY after actually being in the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
