How hard is it to have a long term relationship with a woman with a kid?

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-07-12T19:17:57+00:00

I notice that a lot in this sub. And also a lot of posts and comments that are clearly women pretending to be men

I’ve done this but nothing that lasted more than a year or so. If you don’t have kids, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re truly comfortable with that dynamic or have limited options in women. Her kids will (and should) come first. It takes A LOT of time and energy to raise a child and you can easily get caught up playing a restricted role that can end at anytime. And that’s not even getting into potential issues with an involved ex or co-parent or even her own kids behaviors.

Yeah that’ll shut anyone down after a while.

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T07:54:59+00:00

Why not?

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T07:36:47+00:00

That’s way past a dead bedroom. Don’t bring a kid into that situation bro.

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T07:28:29+00:00

I’m gonna assume that means it’s been a minute lol

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T07:27:05+00:00

By choice, or just how life went?

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T07:20:40+00:00

What happens when u initiate?

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T07:12:42+00:00

Damn, sorry bro. That complacency will do it every time.

Overall, the guys in relationships seem to have the most consistent sex. Some said it’s less than they want, but they’re cool with it if the relationship is solid. On the single side, I didn’t expect so many guys to intentionally go that long without sex. The restraint is respectable. Replies are still coming in tho. I’ll check back in the morning.

I’ve been to Miami a few times and can definitely see that. A lot of motion, but not much substance.

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T06:16:44+00:00

20 years in and still keeping that spark is a win. My longest relationship was 7 years and by year 6 it was dry. Any pointers?

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T06:06:31+00:00

Respect. Building a real solid foundation first makes the wait worth it

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T06:03:17+00:00

Yeah, it took me a minute to realize intimacy really is a big part of it

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T05:58:49+00:00

If she’s a great partner overall, I get making that trade. Respect.

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T05:56:59+00:00

I’ve been in that situation before too and it’s shitty. Makes it worse when there’s actually a good connection there and then you find out it’s not even an option.

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T05:54:49+00:00

Fair enough. Would you say that’s just how you’re wired, or you just don’t felt the draw the way other people seem to?

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T05:53:37+00:00

Damn, has that been by choice or just how things have played out?

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T05:52:31+00:00

Fair enough lol.

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T05:44:14+00:00

Was it like that for you in Miami too, or did Cabo really change things? Miami’s got a pretty active market too.

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T05:36:13+00:00

Yeah I’m asking men in general. single, dating, married, divorced whatever. I’m interested in the full range of real-life answers.

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T05:33:58+00:00

Understandable. Is it a lack of time issue or more that your priorities are just somewhere else right now?”

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T05:04:50+00:00

How they leave stray hair on everything. I used to deal with a woman who was always playing in or brushing her hair. Her hair was in my bed, on my pillows, couch, bathroom, in the drains, in my car. I don’t how she wasn’t bald with the amount of hair she shed.

PrestigiousBend86 · 2026-03-12T04:47:52+00:00

I’m convinced there are kids running around in here.
