Struggling

By Anonymous - 04/09/2025 08:00 - United States

Today, I started my senior year of high school. Every guy I try to get with immediately loses interest and runs off when they learn I have a one year-old son. It’s not fair I have to deny my baby boy just to find happiness. FML

focus on finishing school, then find you an older guy who won't mind.

It's completely fair. Everyone has the right to choose who they do, or don't, want to be with. And why are you even trying to get with multiple guys anyway? Slow the f*ck down, before you make another mistake...I mean, baby. 🤷🏻‍♀️

At that age, buys are scared of a commitment of that size. wild speculation that is why baby daddy isn't in the picture. Guys don't know themselves at that age and aren't looking for marriage or longer term than their next meal. Is it fair? Nope. life is full of double standards which are unfair to many.

Wait. Did you actually write you have to deny your baby boy in order to find happiness? I'm sure you don't mean that. You wouldn't deny that you have a precious baby boy who's worth more to you than any high school kid. Other commenters are right; an older, more stable and settled man might be a better fit AFTER you graduate high school. Good luck (heart).

maybe you should get with the father of your child. children need both parents.

You're a senior in high school with a one-year-old. What did you expect? If you weren't trying to get with so many guys you wouldn't have this problem to begin with. YDI.

your happiness no longer matters, giving that child the love and attention is all that matters. Now you have made the choice to get pregnant and keep and raise that child despite being a teenager that is a choice of irrevocable responsibility you made your bed now lay in it my son was born 3 days after my 20th birthday he just turned 14 i raised him on my own since he was 3 month old (I'm the dad) but the thing i learned is its worth it the chance that someone you meet at 18 is going to love you and your child or even that you wont loose intrest these things happen naturally dont try to force them when you stop being desperate and going with any guy that will give you the time a day ruining your relationship with your child or if you let the fact you have this mind set that your child is stopping you from being happy will cause you to resent your child over time as you get more bitter about it when that child you brought into this world should be your sole reason to carry on you should focus on building your and your childs lives focus on being productive stop worrying about sex its really not that important to your happiness learn to be happy by yourself first i met my wife when my son was 6 years old we've been together 8 years and i only found her when i stopped looking
