Would you marry a woman that has a child from previous relationship?
 

Seems like a common occurrence around here(everywhere?), and I don't get it... Why would anyone choose to raise some other mans child instead of their own? Am I missing something here?

Sure. I have kids from another relationship, so why not?

Depends on the woman - The kid is irrelevant to my decision.

If I want to commit and marry a lady, then while a kid or kids are certainly relevant to the overall sexperience, they are certainly not the DEAL BREAKER

Depends if the kid was black or not.

G.P.W.M. :helpme

You never know until it happens to you.

Exactly what I was thinking.

It is better then having your own in some ways so yeah I am not opposed to it.

Depends.

I have friends who are in this position, so of them I look at and think "well done".

Others I look at and think "you just got owned".

So totally depends on the situation for me...

Depends! But I think if I realy love her that would not be a problem!

I almost did. Best decesion I never made.

It worked out for the Bradys.

Sorry for answering like a question to a question, but why not?

If your a guy that is independent with no kids of your own dump the chick with kids.

Do not raise another mans son you will never get credit for any of that shit.

I wouldn't say that no one ever gets credit for raising someone else's kids.

I'd say the biggest issue someone without kids of their own, in this type of situation, would be getting used to playing second fiddle. Her/His kids will always come first. I felt this as a single guy in a relationship with a girl who had kids. But now as a father of 3 myself, I "get it".

The kids will always come first, as they should. Most single guys can't handle that.

if you both have kids from other relationships, then its all good but its always harder when one does and the other doesn't, no matter what anyone says. you can't choose who you love (so they say) but you can choose who to avoid in the first place.

Relationships fail and homes get broken. It's a part of life. Is it better to have a single mom struggling to raise her kids or have a man in the house? It's not about getting credit from anyone but yourself and the kids...there is something refreshing about teaching a child something new...tying a shoe, riding a bike, tossing firecrackers into their brothers bed at wake up time.... Some fathers are douche bags

My dad married again for the 3rd time and he hates the kids

The fact that you even need to ask the question shows that you shouldn't do it.

Why the heck do you have to marry her??

I wouldn't have thought it was an issue for a tranny hound.

Whats not to get? If you love her you marry her, its not a business deal.

That depends. Does her ass look like this?

Why not?
If she is the girl of ur dreams...

mmm, maybe, but mmm, needs to looks so fucking hot :P

why kids? makes no sense at all...other peoples kids makes even less...

My father died when I was a baby, and my mother remarried. My step father raised me from when I was a young child and I didn't really know he was my step father until I was much older.

The woman I dated before my wife had a child, and I loved playing daddy. I didn't have any issues raising someone else's kid. It's very noble.

My relationship with a girl has nothing to do with children. Chances are if I had gotten to the point of marriage with a girl who has kids, the kids already like and approve of me, and I also like them, so why not?

Mothers always talk to their kids and if the kids don't like the guy, the relationship don't last long.. :2 cents:

Yes, you are missing something. Maturity.
:2 cents:

I did. They were very young when she and I got together, and I pretty much raised them.
The REAL question, in my case should have been..."Should I watch out for her possible infidelity?" and sure enough, after about 5 years, she was cheating on me, we broke up, and the ones that had the WORST of it...were her 2 kids (she and I didn't have any together).
They were the ones who lost the most, emotionally, in that deal.
Financially...well, that was me...but, that's off topic.

It's all about the pussy. Is the pussy good? Is it that type of pussy you don't want to let go? Then yes. If it's mediocre pussy, then no.

As I stated above, it's all about the pussy.

Also, it depends on the situation. Is the dad long gone? Is he still up in your girl's grill all of the time? Does he pay his support and involve himself in the kid's lives?

These are all factors that you need to consider and figure out where you stand, your self esteem, etc.

Like any other loving relationship, "when it's right, it's right..." There is no explaining it. Love will catch you when you least expect it, when you aren't looking for it. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

This thread is complete bullshit.

Any guy thinking of marrying is ready to take all that comes with it.
It's those of us that are single, and we don't know why, that have this issue.

:2 cents:

A person who focuses on whether the child is "theirs" is basically selfish and stingy.

It just eats them up that they are paying for something and they feel it's not totally their own.

They keep thinking "what's in it for me?".

That's where they fail, they can't figure out simple shit like love.


:2 cents:


.

can we see pics first?

I wouldn't marry (period). That's an archaic practice and nothing good comes out of it.
I would date and establish myself with a girl that has a child from a previous relationship though. I've no problem with that, children are fun most of the time.

I agree with that .gif :thumbsup

marriage??? you have to be kidding, kids or not, stupidest concept I heard brought up today :helpme:error:1orglaugh:2 cents:

Single people generally vote selfishly so id presume the same for a partner in a relationship where kids are involved.

Well said!

Is this a poll?

My heart skips a beat when I hear the word marriage,dating a woman with a kid isn't too bad though

Especially if she has a nice rump... am I right?

Aside from the financial aspect, it's hard enough to raise a kid with just 2 people having to agree on how to handle things ... when there's a 3rd person who has a say in it, you know you'll frequently just get the "it's not your kid so shut up" reply from the father (and the mom will take his side).

wont stay that way for long, then what ? :winkwink:

Worked out OK for me

Would you be kind to hit me up on ICQ please?

depends.

I'm 29 yo single guy with no kids, why would I date/marry a single mom when there are so many hot women with no kids? kind of desperation... but, maybe, I wouldn't have a problem with it if I was older and had kids from other relationship.

Been there, done that. I had a step dad, we never got a long, but we were always there for each other because of respect.

I had a step kid for a while, little shit was stealing from me, even after he and his mother moved out, he got busted breaking into my house.

Bad set up
