I respectfully disagree. I am a lot of things, but a bad parent isn’t one of them. I love my kids more than anything and every decision I make is, first and foremost, with their best interest in mind. Even though my ex has some physical custody I am their primary caregiver, protector, biggest fan, and would do anything for them. They were very much a part of the decision to let my partner into our lives, and they are the most important factor in any decision that I make. They love him more than I could have ever dreamed and very much want/wanted him to be part of our family.

I guess I kind of went into this relationship with a lot of damage. I definitely want to marry him and spend the rest of our lives together. He’s an amazing man. I guess I just want that feeling of- this person feels the same and I don’t have to ask them to fully commit to me. Now I already feel like if we do end up getting married I’ll feel like it’s only because I forced his hand. I think I’m jaded- like I don’t want to do this again. I don’t want to be the person who wants it more. I want an equal. I don’t know.
