Kids, Relationships and Break-ups: Not the sharpest tool

Not the sharpest tool

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. Why? Her six year-old likes me more than her. I hate kids. I stayed with her in spite of her son, because I love her. For some reason she thought I was going to leave her and take her kid with me, so she broke up with me first. FML

Today, my girlfriend of six months broke up with me. In her words, “Liking you fucked up my brain.” Later that afternoon, she posted a story of her with another dude’s arm around her. FML

Today, my girlfriend of 2 months found out she was 4 months pregnant with her ex's baby. She told me I could leave her and she wouldn't blame me, but I decided to stay with her. She told me she loved me and then dumped me because she needed to be with her baby's daddy. FML

Today, my girlfriend left me. The reason? She's not actually a lesbian. She has been using our relationship to piss off her conservative parents. We've been together for over a year, and I've been in love with her for over five. FML

Today, I went to break up with my psychotic bitch of a girlfriend after months of abuse. When she opened the door, her 5-year-old son ran up to me, smiling and calling me "DADDY!" for the first time. Now I don't have the heart to dump the psycho and devastate her son. FML

Today, I decided to break up with my girlfriend. I sat her down and gave her the speech. She broke down in tears and said, “Why does every guy always abandon me? Why am I never good enough?” I felt so bad for her that I took back the breakup and we’re still together now. FML

Today, within one day of meeting me, my stepmom decided to break up with my dad. Her reason being, "I love you, but I just can’t put up with the kid." I’m 'the kid'. I’m 28 years-old. FML

Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. After breaking the news to my parents, I heard my dad mutter when I left, "Damn it, I liked her better than him." My mother didn't protest. FML

I feel bad for the kid. First off you don't want to take the father role, which I don't blame you, not many want to. Second, he's probably going to deal with a bad mother, and I can speak from personal experience that my mom became mentally abusive, and threatens to be physically abusive because "she's jealous I love my father more".

Good. You were never going to last if you were there “in spite of her kid.” You aren’t a bad guy but that was a bad relationship for you to be in. No kid should have to go thru a relationship where the “father” is not taking on a “father” role.

1. if you hate kids and were just putting up with the kid, thrn good. 2. she's an idiot, because you couldn't legally take her kid if you left her. 3. I bet she figured out you hate her kid and that's the real reason she dumped you. 4. don't just put up with kids, date a person who isn't a mom.

I'm a single parent. I would dump you in a heartbeat if I heard "I love you despite your child". A child isn't an STD. Plenty of men want to be step parents and would love both the child and the mother. As for the other stuff... Don't know the entire story. She may have left you because her child was getting attached and you didn't really want to be involved. All men...unless you WANT KIDS and are willing to be a step parent DON'T DATE women with kids. You're wasting their time and your own.
