Dating with a kid
Have any of you dated someone after having a baby? If so how did that turn out? How long were you together before moving in, married, have another baby, etc? Or did none of that happen? I started dating my boyfriend while I was pregnant and he doesn't want to move in anytime soon. And I don't know how long I can date someone before making the next step. May will make one year. Next may will be 2 years and I don't want to sit around for him to 'consider' us moving in together. I want a family and I don't want to be 30 when I get the chance to settle down. My boyfriend is constantly changing his mind about what he wants. I know what I want and that will never change. I want to fall asleep and wake up everyday with my best friend and the person I love most. I want a baby of our own within a couple years. Maybe it's just me and I'm looking WAY into it but I can't help it. You dated me when I was pregnant and you've been by my side through a lot. At the same time I'm tempted to just say fuck it and go on with my life. I need to go back to school and just be on my own. Lately I've just had a ton of doubts and I've been over-thinking everything!!! He says one thing and I find a reason to look into it. Sometimes I feel as if I could care less what happens but other times I feel like I just want the next step. Maybe it's just me being crazy but I can't help it. And on top of that my ex and his psycho girlfriend got engaged so now I feel super shitty because I have a HUGE feeling they'll get married on MY date (11/11/11). If they do all hell will break loose lol. Donny won't marry me on that day but I know someone who will and wants to have a baby soon and have us be together. And that's another thing.. that's been in the back of my head for months! It's hard to sit here and wonder what's going to happen when there's someone who wants the same things as me and I've pushed it off for 4 years. Who knows... I'll figure it out with time or I'll have a professional help me out lol. Maybe I need to just pour my heart out to a psychologist about everything in my life. I hate that thought though because I cry whenever I have to talk about things in my life, I'd much rather sit here and type them out and not cry. :-)

You have a lot of conflicting thoughts, dear. You say you're young so my advice would be just to slow down. Take each day as it comes and try not to live in the past or the future. I struggle with this sometimes, too. You don't want to scare off your boyfriend with talk of "taking the next step". He's already taken a huge step by being in your child's life. Hold on to that! I hope things get better for you soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I know I do have a hard time just trying to accept things as they are. I know a kid is a lot for someone to take in, but I know with his ex they moved in after a year of dating and he doesn't want to because of the baby. And then a year from now my son will be about to enter the 'terrible 2' stage so I feel like it won't happen then either... =/
