What if?

I have this friend who accidentally got pregnant and she's wondering if she'll ever meet a guy that can accept her past. I was just wondering about what guys think about this. What if you met someone and you fell in love with her? And then she confessed that she has a kid. Are you going to accept her for who she is if you really love her? What if your parents don't like her because she already has a kid? Are you going to fight for her?

Hi Sophia, I am a single mom,just happened that I fall for the wrong guy who doesn't want to take responsibility.I have told myself not to trust any guy anymore but my friends & family told me to be always open to any possibilities.I am just taking things easy right now but everytime a friend/relative will ask me to meet this certain guy or recommend one guy..the first thing I told them is I have a daughter...& If ever I fall again or he will fall in love with me...It would be a complete package...accept my daughter if you really are true to me..I can't just leave my daughter & no matter how much I am in love if you can't accept my past or what I have..then I guess i'll just gonna have to stop it...better be alone than be with someone who cannot accept the whole you...have a happy mylotting dear...

That's totally right! Take it or leave it! If you really love someone, you'll accept her or him for who she/he is and you'll accept whatever his/her past is. But your friends and family are also right. Keep all your options open. I kept telling this to my friend too. Who knows, the right one might be just around the corner! ;)

If I'am guy falling in love with your friend I mean with girl that have kid I will accept it.If she confessed it to me before we have a commitment, being honest to your relationship is the key for the acceptance and this is your basis if you are accepted and if that person will accepting you who are and what you are. If he does he is the right person that you wanted and will give you true love.

I understand. Nicely said. Honesty is necessary in order for the relationship to work and last. If he can't accept you for who you are and what your past is, then move on.

I got pregnant when I was 16, and the father of the baby was never in our lives. I had relationships after my son was born. I would tell the guys up front that I had a son, so it was never an issue. I even lived with a boyfriend for a few months, and his parents would babysit my son. When my son was about 4 I ended up falling in love with my best friend. We'd known each other for over a year, he obviously knew my son. He even brought my son a video at Christmas time. We began dating and moved in together, and eventually got married. I now have been married for 7 years and have 5 children. My first son is treated just like all the other kids, and you honestly would not know that my husband isn't is biological father. Oh, and his parents never had a problem with my son either. They also treat him just like the other kids. Before any of the other kids were born my in laws used to buy my son toys from garage sales. Right now my oldest son is my father in law's best friend! They hang out together a lot.

There is no what ifs to it because I have a kid and my boyfriend accepted me and my daughter. As a matter of fact, he loves her just as much and his son loves me just as much too. My daughter is six years old and I had her when I was really young. At first, I thought no one would accept me anymore and that no guy would find me attractive. But people do prove you wrong. I had two serious relationships after separating with the father and they both were extremely respectful and loved me regardless of any situation. I was blessed. I am still bless now because my current boyfriend has showered me with so much love that I don't think I could ever find another like him. Tell your friend not to worry about it because right now, relationship is the last of her problems. Don't jump into it because when she actually takes her time, she will find that someone who will love her and her child. It is possible and it happens all the time. Several of my girlfriends are single mothers and they have boyfriends that adores them.

For you there are no more what ifs, for you have found the right guy for you. The what if question was addressed to the guys here on mylot. You are right, you really are blessed. I'm happy for you Duyenn. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful and inspiring experience to other single moms out there. Her baby's only 10 months old, so it's still kinda fresh. I know that someday she will realize that she doesn't have to worry about future relationships. Happy Mylotting.

of course she will meet a guy who will accept her and the kid if the guy truly love her he will accept her no matter who she was including her past the guy will do everything if she really love her even if his parents don't like the girl she must show and prove to the guy's parents that she is worth of fighting for and that having a kid on her past was not a big issue as long as the guy accept both of them it will take time before the parents accept her just show respect to them be good to them and that show them that you deserved to be love back and respect too

Yeah you're right leinrix. I kept telling my friend that she will meet a guy who truly deserves he love and devotion. It may be hard to find a guy like that but you don't have to look for it. It will eventually come when the time is right and you're ready.

if 2 person fall in love each other and are ture lovers, then both of them should accept his or her past...even if his or her has a child...i think when you love him or her then you should love his/her past,his/her everything...

If you fall in love with her, her past should not, and does not matter. We all make mistakes my dear, it is something that we accept as part of life. A child is no different. If I were to meet and fall in love with a girl, and she had a child, that would make no difference to me at all, with my feelings to her. I would still fight with her. And if my parents do not like her, oh well. That wouldn't happen with me though, I come from a complicated family, so it is totally understood in my life. With Appreciation.

No i'm not. I want the kid to be my own. Not somebody else's. But that just me. I'm sure there are other guys out there willing to accept her and her kid. :)

I understand and respect your answer. But what if you really really love her? Would it still matter to you?

I don't think that anyone would accept it. If i was the guy i would darely accept the child because it's mine. How some one can be so cruel not to accept their own child. You girls have to be serious not hanging around with any guy and take a baby. so choose the right guy in all these things. Men don't have anything to loose the losers are always the girls.

yes..I would accept her past and will fight for her..I really salute people persons that I know that do that things..really love conquers all..:))
