Dear Lady. Ann:
I am a 36-year-old single mom of 2 kids. My babies are ages 10 and 6. Their father and I used to be married, but we got a divorce 5 years ago. Our second child was barely one when I left him. I could have left way earlier but I kept hoping he would be better. I have been single for 5 years. In these five years, I have focused on helping my kids heal from the divorce and also finding healing myself.
I recently got a better paying job and life seems to be getting better for me. But I have also become close to my co-worker. It all started two months ago when he started complimenting me. He is a great guy and we have gone out a few times. But he recently told me he had three kids with three women. He takes care of all of them and I can see that he loves his kids, but three baby mamas though?
He did say he has a lot of regrets and he is a more matured man now, but I don’t know if I’m ready for the drama that might come with his baby mamas. I have just created so much stability in my household and I am beginning to enjoy the peace that comes with it. Being in his life would mean having to deal with one baby mama drama or the other. I know the drill and I am not up for it. But I also really like this guy. Am I being too judgmental? Should I give it a chance and just see how things go? I don’t want to have any regrets in the long run.
