Dating

I gave birth in 2023 but broke up with the baby daddy mid 2022. I have been single since as I have been focussing on my little boy. I have met a boy who I seem to really enjoy the company of and know there is something there. He is willing to step up and be respectful of the fact I have a child, my only concern is I'm 22 and he is 19. Is this bad/unacceptable or is it no problem. I just don't know if I'm overthinking or not.

Hey! I gave birth 2024 and broke up with the babies dad within 7 weeks of him being born. I met someone a few weeks back, he’s completely respectful of me and my son and is willing to take him on too. We’ve just started dating. I’m 20 and he’s 22 (2004+2003) it’s not bad or unacceptable at all! You’re an adult and so is he, if you ever wanna pm about it as we seem to be navigating the same situation im always happy to share my socials hun x

Im in my 40s and this doesn't sound bad at all to me. Good luck!!!

It has its good and bad I’d say, maybe bad as there could be some immaturity at times when it comes to certain things. Good in the sense some guys know what they want and can be pretty mature in dating, especially someone with a child already. I’d say be cautious, especially when it comes to introducing men to your baby because the hardest part is not knowing if they will be around long term or not. Seems like your baby is still young which is a good thing because they could very well not remember who you dated at this point in life and as they get older but the con is baby could get attached to a new person and if it doesn’t workout will be hard to part ways. But again, I’d say just be cautious about dating and maybe try to keep any new relationships separate from home/baby life until you get a feel for this new person or it becomes more serious. Also, make sure this guy is respectful of your time because you are a mom first and you cannot always be available to him when he wants…

He should be very understanding of this as well and the right guy/person will never make you feel bad for being a mother first. Good luck! 🩷

I’ve been single since 2016! He’s punishment was to steal my car, empty any account he could and leave us for dead hoping it would make me desperate enough to take him back. Well many years later I’m single AF. Must be something about Aussie men. That or the fact my children’s father does not support them, meaning I’m a liability regardless of how fit I am. I say if you feel it’s right don’t pass it up. I assure you, don’t want end up like me. Good luck 🙏🏽

Hi! I was a single mom at 23 and met a 20 yr old who was was willing to step up and be a parent to my 2 daughters. I was hesitant as well considering he was much younger but really it was the best decision I made. he’s the most patient and understanding man I ever met. We have a handsome son together and now my fiancé is in trucking school at the moment because he wants to provide a better life for all of us. He can be a little childish sometimes lol but I wouldn’t change it for the world. If you want him to be around more then go for it, you never know how things can go
