Stop and think! Don't let your ego ruin your relationship between your daughter's father and you. If you are having problems in your present relationship, either work it out or get out. Handle that before you do anything else. You have a child now. You are not a child anymore. Get the stars out of your eyes. If this old boyfriend is serious about you, he will wait for you. If he was scared before, how does he feel about you and your child? Maybe you had better ask some questions before you just blindly leap into this relationship the second time.

He adores both of my kids very much so I would never just blindly leap into anything for the sake of my kids and I would never cheat I am not that type and I give this to time for now just to see how things play out! thanks

Smart girl. I will breath a big sigh of relief (smile). I was scared for a minute. Thanks. In that case, I wish you the best and take care. With lots of love.

Life is hardly simple and this is one example. You do have to decide for yourself based on what is good for you and what is good for your daughter. Things could change for the better. Cheers!!

I know what the right choice would be but gee wiz I just hate this stuff I love my bf so much but I know that he is not as good for me in a sense he kinda brings me down not saying hes a bad guy just saying hes older and really really set in his ways which I seem to have a prob with
