I can’t imagine being a single parent, finally meeting someone you’re really into, only for them not to like your kid. 

One woman’s situation is even worse, as she started dating a guy she thought was her dream partner. Then, he suggested she give her daughter up for adoption because she was born out of wedlock.

She’s 28-years-old and has a three-year-old daughter. She was never married to her daughter’s father, and now he’s out of the picture. 

Ten months ago, she started dating a 33-year-old guy and was really into him.

“I know in my heart that I am deeply in love with him,” she said.

“He has everything that I have ever dreamed of having in a life partner. We have amazing chemistry, he’s incredibly reliable, and he’s financially stable. Not to mention my three-year-old daughter has become really attached to him.”

Unfortunately, her hopes of being in a long-term relationship with this guy shattered after he said something that shocked her.

She noticed that her boyfriend started acting distant around her, which was odd because he’s usually great at communicating his feelings. 

She asked him if they could sit down and have a conversation about what was going on and give him an opportunity to express himself. Now, she regrets asking.

“Basically, he told me that he loves me, but he doesn’t want to commit and start a life with someone who is broken,” she recalled.

When she asked him to elaborate on what he meant by someone who is broken, he explained how he had an issue with her daughter being born out of wedlock and her having no communication with her daughter’s father. He described her situation as a “mess he didn’t deserve to deal with.”

Then, her boyfriend told her that he’d only be able to stay with her if she had her daughter adopted by a family member and only visited her occasionally.

He also said that if she didn’t already have a kid, he would’ve already committed to her and started a life with her. Of course, she would never get rid of her daughter. That’s totally out of the question. What her boyfriend said really took a toll on her.

“I feel as if I am in emotional shock right now, almost like someone who I really loved died,” she explained.

“My daughter is innocent and didn’t do anything wrong. She also has become really attached to him, and the fact that he just wants to get rid of her is shocking, indicating that he couldn’t care less about her.”

Now, she’s wondering if there’s any way she can stay with this guy and make him realize how wonderful life is with her daughter around. Or perhaps, she should just end things with him.

What would you do if you were in her shoes?
