Here I am, a 23 year old successful and educated woman. I am on the "right" path in life with a well-paying career, my own home, car, and pets. I am financially stable and everyone says, "The world is at your fingertips!"
What a cliche.
But here I am asking, what to do when you find the man of your DREAMS but he comes he a little bit of baggage attached. The baggage is a divorce with a child in the middle.
A friend once told me: Never date a man with a child. He'll never love you more than that child and you'll never be number one in his life. You'll always be second.
Sounds harsh. Is it true?!?

Yes I belive it's true too..But like very one else there's that difference of LOVE for you and for the child don't try to compete against the child when you stated that carrer wise your good it told me you do go with compation try not to think of fighting for his love won't work let me take care of his child because if you come between them HE WILL LEAVE..
And remember what the other guy said here to your love will be with him alway's child too..But she will move on and alot of time's he will only get call's for MONEY lol lol...hoped I helped in someway and hope you to stay together for ever in LOVE....

This is a true statement but it will change over time. I was single with a seven old when i married my life and it was not easy to juggle the commitment to both. I do not think i love my daughter more than my wife. I always looked at it as my and my wife will be together forever and my daughter will move on to life her own life.

To an extent it is true, the child will always come first, but the love a man has for his child is different than the love he has for a woman. I have dated divorced men with children, and honestly I was happy. I helped him take care of his kids, and I respected the relationship he had with his kids and never tried to come in the way of it all. I mean someone needs to take a chance to love a man with some baggage, I don't discard a man for that simple reason.
