I already have a daughter and a live-in partner for five years. I'm working now in a real estate, but suddenly I have a co-worker who is my batch mate in high school. He always tells me that I'm beautiful and one time my other co-worker dares us to date each other. All that he knows is that I'm a single mom. And when we're walking across the overpass going to the terminal, and it is crowded, he suddenly holds my hand to keep me beside him. I felt nervous that moment and thinking what if I fall for him?

I think the best way for you to do now is to avoid that guy. Things will be complicated since you already have a commitment with someone else. Give yourself some space away from him. Or if you think you really can't resist and can't fight the feelings, then put things in its proper place first before entering and creating a complicated relationship with your co-worker. Mingle with your female co-workers instead of hanging out with him. Do not mind the co-workers who pair up the two of you. But in the end of the day it will be your decision...just bear in mind not to play with fire, because aside from hurting people you care about, you will also be the burnt one on top of it all...

hi there. i am sorry if i tell you that you should be true not only to him but also to yourself. you have a live in partner, but i have to ask you, do you love your live in partner for 5 years? because maybe if you didn't then maybe you wouldn't stay with him that long. i hope you don't fall for him, please control yourself. i am sorry if i take this negatively, because it is wrong

Yeah,I love my live-in partner but staying in five-year relationships it doesn't mean that you will last forever. Thanks for the response.

Hello Vrianna, Do what is right since you already have a child. Maybe its best to think of your child's sake than other man. You already have a live-in partner too and it's unfair to his part to do that kind of thing. Learn to choose and balance things. I am not perfect but we know what is RIGHT OR WRONG. I hope you could fix things out with the help of God.

The daughter what I'm talking about is also a daughter of my live-in partner. In short that's our daughter. Thanks for the advice.

tell him the truth that you have a live in partner and not a single mom,,, in the end when he fall in love with you you might hurt him by not telling the truth or you end up falling in love with him and be a sinful partner or have a broken family

The decision my dear is really up to you. Just a bit of advise, think not just twice but many times before making any decisions. Because whatever your decisions may be will make or break you, so be wise, take a lot of things into consideration and know yourself more....Goodluck!

Just be honest with yourself upfront. If you start to have strong feelings for this new guy, and you turn yourself over to these feelings, then you are going to go through a rough ride in the transition. It will not be fun and people you love will get hurt. Maybe you can still say no to the new guy and avoid a lot of misery. I think the pleasure that pulls at our hearts so strongly is forgotten long before the misery of bad consequences.

live in relationship or marriage all stem from heart made commitments. So I think you should abide by it. But its natural to get attracted to someone once in a while but keep your head in place and do not follow your heart where this new person is concerned. Every relationship looses its charm after a while and we do look for some excitement that new person brings in but later we do live to regret it. It seems you life has fallen in to a routine with your live in partner why not spice it up a bit that will take your mind off this guy and you can in fact introduce them both so that you are not allowing yourself to sneak behind anyone of them. May be seeing them together will give you a better perspective. My mom used to say anything you feel you have to hide means that you are doing something wrong.

well the fact that you didnt stop him from holding your hand, shows that you like him. but what about your live-in partner? do you like or love him? make sure that if you are serious with this office guy or you are liking the extra attention you are getting? all the best

Wow...what a though situation, you know the guy so you know he is not just playing with you. Plus you live in with someone that accept your child... Now it's time to do what you heart tells you, just don't give a chance to guy b while you are with guy a cause that is cheating, think about if you love a, think a lot about a, cause you won't come back, we usually don't get a second chance. With a things might be a habit and that's why a new guy could just light some things on you but could all be an ilusion, the only point is: did you love a before b comes? Were you going to stay with a for the rest of your life? If no...you know the answer...

You need to be certain of you relationship with the live-in partner first. Since you have been together for 5 years, what's the next step for the 2 of you? Have you discusses this with him? Was marriage never raised? You still identify yourself as a single mom, so the word single is there. If there is no commitment between you and your live-in mate,it really is your choice how to respond to your co-worker. Maybe this is a good chance to raise the issue with the partner?

Us girls we are flattered much if someone is telling us that we look good. For me, think several times of what your batchmate really means to you. Don't compare him with you live-in partner as much as possible. I've known some friends who fell in love with someone and able to leave their partners because they tend to compare the two. Just take things easy. Be able to know what your true feelings for that person.

Love doesn't happen for everyone. If you are one of the lucky ones to find it then fight for it.

You said in your post that you have a "live-in-partner" for 5 years. Circumstantial evidence would indicate you are committed to someone. And here comes your batch mate in high school, who seems to flatter you with such flowery words of admiration and appreciation. So you think you're falling? Well, with the limited info that I have. I could sense that you take delight for those words he uttered. And to aggravate his attitude is the fact that all he knew is that you are a single mom (which is false, did you tell him a lie? or just his presumption?) He may be thinking of courting you, so just beware. Be cautious enough. Don't keep fanning the fire. Stop it as early as now. Relationships are sustained not because of series of coincidences, it takes a lot of effort, right attitude and decisions to sustain such. Relationship is build up, it doesn't happen in just a wink of an eye. So as early as now, you should give him a hint that you're not into it (if you want really are committed to your live-in partner). So as not to give the other guy false hopes and later make a great wound in his heart. Remember that it involves emotion and much more than that it touches other person's life. So take care of your relationship with your partner, and take care of your friendship with the other guy. Be cruelly honest to tell him you are not into it. But do in a nice way and polite way. I hope you'd do it well. Wish you the best in life and in your relationships. God bless you! :)
