Years Of Being A Single Dad Realization
Sup doods
Been a single dad for 7 years now been dating or at least trying to during those years . Dating has been up and down like life usually is. I have dated single moms and women with no kids . Was way more successful I guess with dating women with no kids than single moms ironically. I have attempted to get back with my ex wife/baby mama since 2024 it was a rocky start but I'm starting from the ground up at a very gray area of co-parenting/childhood friend/baby daddy role with no guarantees. All I can do is be there for my daughter, everything else is not in my control. The other thing is we live like 5 minutes away from each other 💀 so that family unit pull to them is extremely strong. I hate my daughter getting used to her parents having different homes but maybe someday it won't be like this . For the dad's how was it dating women out there knowing your focus was getting back with your child's mom? I find it a waste of time to even date seriously tbh , I would just be wasting someone's time . But at the same time I know I need to just allow space and time to do its thing with my child's mom as I know I can't rush that to happen . I tried talking to her about it which didn't go well she seemed kind of flustered and emotional when we had the relationship talk and seemed defensive a bit. I told her I would not bother her . Deep down though I can't pretend I still want to bring the family together. I know that step mom/step dad thing could happen smh if it does in the future I guess I have to be prepared.
