Hi. In the first instance of knowing this, I would naturally be shocked and thrown off at not knowing this before hand, Id have lots of questions that'll need answering, but in the end things will workout and I would naturally do my best to accept and include him into our lives, I would encourage the father to bond and get close to him, and to help the children understand that he is part of the family, and for all of them to feel comfortable with each other... But then this is a BIG What If...

I would wonder why he did not tell you up front about the child,and what else he has not told you upfront. if there is a good reason for him not telling you than yes i would accept the child,everyone has a past life from before you were with them and these things cant be changed.

It would be shocking at first but it's no big deal as long as you love each other. His past is past, you can't change that. But you should ask him now, why was not he being honest with you in the first place and now that you know, I think you should talk this over, because when you guys get to the point of taking the next step which is marriage , the child would be like your child too. It's like buying something sort of a package deal, if you know what I mean. Another thing, you should ask him about the mother of the child, of course they are still communicating because of their connection with the child right? What if he will realize later on that he still love the other girl. I think you have to make things clear after all you deserve it, you are the present GF. I hope I helped you somehow.

hi jhanna, thanks for the help.actually the guy told me the reason why he's not being honest to me at first, he is a little bit scared that i will not accept him. Yes, you are right sometimes he still communicating with the mother of the child that's why i'm a little bit scared that one day he will realize that he still love the girl. The problem with me is im also scared to ask him.
