    I don't think Men or Women should be introducing BF and GF to their children. Soon to be spouses or spouses only.
    why do say that my moms been with the same ? since i was eight and they'll never be married and i met him the same day she met him

    Reread what you typed and you tell me.

    its not that he wont marry her she wont marry him if thats what you mean

    and they just a longstanding relationship not everyone gets married

    Let's just leave it at, it's my opinion. That's peace. I'm glad things worked out for moms and yourself.

    Sounds stupid to me.

    So yo life stops because the father of yo kids left you so no more dating until there 18?

    However, single mothers shouldn't be so desperate to settle with the first ? that wants to beat and don't mind the fact she got kids. This also is stupid but is happening every day.

    I agree with everything except the bolded....come on now, if ya credit aint perfect then you gotta take whateva ride you can get ya dig?

    Exactly.

    The point of all this is, make a smart choice and don't be having various dudes running through your house in front of your kids.

    Get to know him first, then introduce the kid/kids.

    Waiting till you're damn near married to meet the kids? That's ? .

    Probably off topic. But what is the purpose of staying with a person long term if the intent isn't marriage. I find rather idiotic to not want marriage but want a long term relationship. Especially from a Man's perspective.

    How is this ? when children have nothing to do with your relationship? If, it's something you want fine but I find it rather selfish dragging people in that don't have a choice in the matter.

    nowhere did I say they should wait till the child grows up...but I expect them to put their kids b4 busting a nut and act like responsible individuals with kids to raise....

    Really? You think? Now could you be so kind as to explain the want for a long term monogamous relationship but not marriage?

    You seem like the type of dude that would get with a single mother but you ain't trying to "play daddy".

    It was very important to me how my daughter interacted with him and how he interacted with her.

    Why would I invest all that time up to the point of engagement, just to find out he's not who I envision as a father figure? She may drive him crazy..he might want out.

    I'm not saying introduce them right away, but IMO if you're going to be with me it's a package deal and I need to see that interaction.

    -Running into some ? in the street who tell you they used to gang bang her raw
    etc.

    I just don't believe that a Man or Woman needs to meet the children to find out if they are in fact father or mother material. I believe a man or woman of sound mind could come to healthy conclusion through conversation and time spent.

    Well I am not that type. I am the type that wouldn't get involve with a woman who has children without marriage being the intended outcome.
