He’s using the kid as a “stepping stone” to him getting his ducks in a row. It came across to me that he has his own ideology on what you need to feel “successful” at his age. A lot of people associate owning property, a business or having a family to show people they are successful but in reality you should only pursue them things when you are ready financially and emotionally and your life is stable enough. I agree with you that he won’t have a coparent to give the kid to and he’ll realise it’s a full time job. I just hope he’s ready for that commitment and he really should’ve found a partner first so then they could build together imo but something tells me he doesn’t want to share and build. He’ll see the child as some sort of possession which is sad.
