He’s concerned about his girlfriend’s style of parenting. He’s concerned that the father of his girlfriend’s son is a real piece of work who can’t pay to support the boy at all.
He’s concerned that if he remains in a relationship with his girlfriend, he’s going to have to financially support her son.
“It’s like I have all the responsibilities of a parent but none of the authority,” he said. “I really love my girlfriend, and we have such a good relationship outside of her son, but now I think it’s time for me to end it.”
“I just feel completely awful about the whole thing because I knew she was a single mother before I got into this relationship, but I kept ignoring red flags and kept telling myself it would get better, but it hasn’t; it just kept getting worse.”
“I feel like I wasted both of our time, but I’m just having trouble letting go. Every time I think about ending it, I get scared that I’ll miss her too much. But deep down, I know that I have to. Any advice or anyone else go through this before?”
