Now, I think three months is a perfectly reasonable time frame to disclose something that might impact whether somebody else wanted to continue to make a large emotional investment in you and the relationship. I think 12 weeks in is a pretty good time. So I would let this play out.

It's possible, based on what you've told me about what he's told you, that he may decide to stick around with his ex, wherever the fuck his ex happens to be, and the new baby, to help out and maybe to do a little co-parenting. And who knows? Maybe they'll get back together for... The convenience of at least being together for the first year or so.

And then this won't be a decision that you have to make. This will be taken out of your hands. And then what did you have? What did you have?

Again, three months in, which seems a perfectly reasonable time to disclose it. Yeah. But what do you do? I think you play it by ear. If he comes back and you want to continue to date him, great.

You say that you would have been open to dating somebody who was a single parent, somebody who had a child with another person, another woman.
And now you can prove that that's true by continuing to date this guy. But if you've never dated somebody who is a new parent and co-parenting with somebody else, the complications may be too great for you. And the his divided focus.
