[i]All my friends here for sure will remember my post about me being the bridge of my 2 good friends who was supposed to get married this September... They just broke up. I got the news first from the guy and he was very sad about it. The reasons was because the guy has a kid with another woman who is now 4 years old but he didn't hide this from the girl. She knows from the start of their dating that he got a kid. I didn't talk yet to my former roommate (the ex girlfriend)..But, I remembered she mentioned about this to me before but I never thought it was really a hindrance or a big issue. ANyway, a lot of major or minor changes really will happen to people's lives anytime..Is there any breakup happening with your relatives or friends? [/i]

[i]Hi bomb, I agree but maybe a lesson to some girls not to commit the relationship in early stage since it is painful for the guy since the guy is very serious about getting married and his love..Oh welL..this is life![/i]

Hello checapricorn, My two nieces just broke up with their boyfriend. I pity one of them as she just get engaged last December. They were only engaged for a month and the guy asked to break the engagement. As for your friend, I don't see any problems of having a kid. At least, he told her the fact. Maybe they are not meant for each other.

Hi gr8life, ohhh..that is very painful, I hope she will recover and move on fast! I know having kid is not an issue to most of us especially when at the beginning of the dating, the lady has an idea already about this....

Hi che, it is rather sad and pity as well to learn that the relationship of the couple who are your good friends broke up. It is still 6 months to go before the wedding ceremony. From your description, it seems that the guy still loves his gf very much. Since the guy hadn’t hidden the story about his 4 years old kid earlier why your former roommate still couldn’t accept the fact which never be changed anymore. Or might be the gal feels jealous and dislikes seeing her boyfriend always takes good care of the kid as well as to treat the little kid intimately though that is totally parental love. If she really loves her boyfriend she has to love the kid as well. I believe there must be a way to solve the problem if they really love each other. If they really couldn’t get together anymore, it is still considered to be lucky that this happens before the marriage. Happy posting and have a nice day.

It is sad indeed.But it is their life and they are best ones to decide. It is also very touchy and sensitive matter. we should not indulge much into others' relation.

[i]Hi subha, you are correct..I didn't talk much to them but I was just listening and repsect their decision! Life if unpredictable indeed and we will never know what will happen, I thought at first, they will really end up being a legal couple![/i]

I remember that discussion... and i was quite happy because it was like a fairy tale love affair... it is just sad that it did not end up with a happy ending... but who knows... maybe this is just a trial on their part... and that there is still hope of them getting back together... If they already thought of getting married... then the feelings they have for each other must be for real...

[i]Hi aseretdd, I agree, I never thought they will end up this way...The guy was so sad since he is so serious and very in love but the girl has her own principle, she can't just accept the fact that they guy has a kid already.... [/i]

No, no breakups happening here but I am equally sad too! I remember that discussion of yours distinctly and was so happy for them for meeting and finding love after so many years. Somehow I am not liking this girl now, the child is only 4yrs old, he can definitely be molded according to her likings and dislikings. She can of course become a mother to him and then have her own children too! Anyway (sigh) each to his/her own

[i]Hi sudiptacallingu, I know my male friend is very serious and really loves her and when we love we have to be ready to accept the past. I do know....I need also to talk to my female friend but I must admit, this reason is so shallow....Past is past![/i]

that is certainly sad, these things should have been worked out before they decided to get married. There is only one person at this point that I know, it is my son's friend, who has never been married but wants to be with a woman that has a child He doesn't know what to do, is he supposed to be a father, is he supposed to just let the woman make all the decisions about the child, is he supposed to sit back and let the child's father come around and dictate what goes on in the house.

I[i] know her reason was too shallow since when there is genuine love, we will love and accept the person and his past. She admit to me before that she really loves the guy but I do know maybe her religion or whatever! I hope they will heal fast and move on![/i]

Hi Che, Oh!! that is a sad news. Yes, there are people who can not accept a partner who has a kid. If the mother of the kid is not yet married, this might be the real cause of the girl's decision for break up. The fact couldn't be denied that the guy and the mother of the kid has their communication this time because of the kid and that might bother your friend although there is no existing relationship with the man the the mother of the kid but your friend still think that it is not healthy for their relationship. It is bothersome.

[i]Hi Bebs, I heard that the mother of the kid is married now. Actually, I haven't talked to my friend (ex gf) yet...I agree with you, there are really girls who prefer a guy with no kid/kids especially in our Country![/i]

I don't htink that the child is the issue but the child is being made the scapegoat. Ther has to be other reasons thna the man having a child. she should love this child because it is her husband's and make sure that he does provide for his son and see him regularly. There must be another reason. Yes, I do have young friends that are breaking up and my son who is in the U.K. seems to be breaking up with his girlfreind and this is such a pity as she is a lovely young lady.

[i]Hi cyn, That is also what I am thinking since it is too shallow plus she knows about this on the very first day of their date and she waited all this time to broke up with him. Sad but I have to respect also as a friend! We really can't expect for every relationship...[/i]
