Commitment

[Brian Holland]

She doesn’t want to get involved with me because I have a son. She knows he’s not mine biologically, that my ex-wife was pregnant when we met. I know guys that don’t want to have anything to do with their own kids, and I’ve raised him as my own even all these years after the divorce. I need to let her go, to just forget about her because she obviously doesn’t want the kind of commitment that I’ve shown myself capable of. It’s frustrating, though, that what proves how good a person I am should be the very thing that makes someone choose against me. So here I sit, waiting for someone to come along that will see my commitment for what it really means and not as a roadblock to her own happiness.

Some women don't want children. Some women don't want children they didn't conceive, themselves. Ditto for some men. It's part of a conversation you have on the second date, I think, before you fall in love. After the appetizer but before dessert. Good luck, sweetpea.

Sometimes we can't help what we want, and I don't mean to sound condescending, but it sounds like you don't need this selfish person in your life. And it sounds like you already realize it.
