Red flag

Today, I want a baby, but suddenly my partner says he doesn't want any kids because he already has a child. With another woman. He's not been part of the mother's or child's life in over 7 years. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Wanting or not wanting children is usually one of the first serious questions that a couple discuss early in their relationship - At least for adults. Failure to discuss this or to be honest about it is a serious relationship failure... OP, if your partner is a poor father to his current child, there is zero reason to believe he would be a good father to another child. If you want a child, cut your losses and end the relationship now. While this will likely be difficult, it's usually not a matter most people are willing to compromise on. Believe him when he says he doesn't want to be a father. Search your heart if having a child now or ever is important to you. You know what has to be done. By the way, I think what he's really saying is that he doesn't want another set of child support payments.

Hint: that bit about the 7 years is the red flag

Why would you want a kid with someone whose idea of Father of the Year is sperm donor only? Dumbest idea ever.
