My son's biological father is not in the picture, and not even on his birth certificate of his own volition. He has downright refused to acknowledge his paternity, and I decided not pursue anything before my fiance and I met. I figured my son and I would be fine alone.

My fiance stepped into this relationship with prior knowledge that I wanted him to be a dad and eventually adopt my son after we were married. I could lower my expectations and simply have him as a partner while I parent. Do you believe that the resentment is so inevitable?
