Stop Looking

When I was separated from My Guy (just last week), I started accepting new and different callers. I’m not a rude person, so I don’t want to just up and kick them to the curb for no reason. So I was continuing to speak to a couple of these men. In actuality I am still shopping because it has me wondering not about my decision to have the baby, but with whom.
One dude, Mr. Man, was high in the running, but last night we had a conversation that made me lose all respect for him….
Mr. Man has 2 children (already a con since I don’t like men with
children). The older child he adores. Mr. Man has joint custody
with his Baby Mama. The child actually lived with Mr. Man until
just recently. He also has another younger child from a different
woman. DNA testing proved that this child was his as well. He
really wants nothing to do with the 2nd child. Now you have to
ask, ‘What’s the difference?’ Both children are equally his. Why
would he prefer one over the other? They are both too young to
have any serious character flaws. He doesn’t want the younger
child to meet his brother or any member of his family. He sends
money monthly that he threatens to rescind if the mother doesn't
bend to his wishes, and will go look at the child when he is in the
area. But that’s it! He was explaining this situation me all
nonchalantly like this is going to make perfect sense to me. I’m
horrified. The variable between the 2 children is their mothers.
He was in love with the older child’s mother and just f***ing the
younger child’s mother. Therefore the younger child is
expendable. Amazing!
My Guy got interrogated like crazy once I got off the phone with Mr. Man. I know he thinks I’m crazy. Then I realized, I have already made my decision about my child’s paternity. I need to stop looking.
