You guys been going out for 8 months. After 8 months he tells you, he can't deal with your daughter anymore. Before there's no problem at all, he loves your daughter yadayada. So that's why you love him for being able to love you and your daughter. And after 8 month, he tells you that? When he told you the reasons, you didn't know how to feel, you wanted to cry, you couldn't breath and you wanted to be mad at him but you don't know what to say. So would you still stay with him and fix the problem or just let him go because he couldn't deal with yourdaugher because your kid always comes first.

I've been a single mom for a lot of years and to be honest from what I've dealt with, i would advice you to let the relationship go. It is really, really hard bringing someone new into your family when you already have kids. I have found that many men "act" like they are all into the kids in order to win me over. Once they have then they want to change up how we live...our rules etc. How old is your daughter? Does he live with you?

hi abby,
that was so sad story of yours, if im in that situation i will surely do the right thing and that is to let him go.. why would force myself if he really don't like my daughter anymore.. don't waste your beauty and time with that kind of person..!! there's a lot of guys around.. surely you can look for another one that is more responsible than he is...

Well, I ain't no expert, but I do always feel, that to a parent, the kid always comes first. If someone, with whom I am going out, doesn't like my kid, or can't deal with kids or anything of the sort, then the only thing for me to do is, let go and find someone, good enough for both you and your kid. Hanging on to someone even when they don't like the most important part of you life is just like taking more than one can handle. Offcourse every case is different, and the reasons he gave you might be something, still holding on is not suggested. Anyways, may god help you find the best answer to your problem.
Take Care
God Bless YOU

He's a loser for putting blame on your daughter. Just cut your losses and say lesson learned... move on... don't even bother wasting anymore of your emotions on him - he really is not worth it... oh, and I wouldn't even be with him - he's not my type, I'm male... LoL... ^_^

It depends on if he meant it or not. Sometimes people says things when their mad that they don't mean. But I would get to the bottom of it and find out if he is going to be there for your daughter as well. She deserves it. My step dad treats me as if I were his own. And my husband of 1 year that I've been with for 4 years total is adopting my 5 year old. He loves him as if he were his. So there are guys out there that are willing to treat your daughter well she deserves it.

If I were you I would find out what he meant by it. He could of been mad about something and just said it and not mean anything by it. Sometimes people says things and don't mean them .But I would definately let him know that if he can't accept yout daughter then doesn't accept you. If he's good to your daughter find out if he wants to be there for her too if not then there's guys out there that are willing to treat your daughter good. My step dad loves me like his own. My son's dad has nothing to do with him and my husband i adopting him. So there is definately other guys out there that are willing to accept your daughter as well. But If he can't tolerate her then get rid of him. Your daughter deserves better.

In my opinion, I think you should move on along there are better people out there. Your kids should always come first, besides your daughter and yourself would be more happy with someone who cared about both of you. I wish you the very best!

I'd say let him go. He couldn't deal with someone you love and she's your daughter. You cannot give up someone that special. It's either him or your daughter. She's a family and he's just a boyfriend. There are lots of guys out there. You'll soon meet the right guy for you who would love you and your daughter like his own. I hope you will make the right decision for your daughters sake.

Just let him go girl....its just going to get worse. He might even end up hurting your daughter. Thats right your daughter should always come first. Time to cut the knot and face whats really important to ya. And ya, its gotta be just an excuse for him saying he can't put up with your daughter. Mahalo! I don't know why i'm responding to your question.....this is supposed to be girl talk.....lol

i am by no means an expert in relationships. I was with someone for about that same time frame. He left in February. He never told me that but we had other problems because he wanted every other woman but even with him living with me he still couldn't keep it in his pants. ( he moved in because I thought things would get better if he lived with me so my mom and I agreed that it would be okay for him to moved in to see how things would go). So that being said, if he would have give that as the reason that he couldn't be with me any more i don't think I would have been able to be with him. Just because kathryn has been there since the beginning. It wasn't like she was living with someone else and then came to live with me during our relationship. Not that I would take it lightly if it was that way as well. But you get my drift I think. anyways, I think maybe he is just giving you an excuse and that you may need to be careful because if he's giving you excuses as to why he can't be with you there may be more to it. i know you don't want to think about this but have you thought that maybe there is another woman. Because even though a man tries to hide it you can still see signs. The signs are easier to spot from a man to woman perspective but living with someone for three months that didn't want to sleep with me after he moved in. Meaning he did every other night when we weren't living together. Anyways, that's another discussion. I just think that maybe you need to ask the question as to why he says its your daughter and then do some investigating to see if its really the truth. And i think maybe you need to spy on him some and see whats up with his attitude and see if someone is influencing that idea that he brought out to you about your daughter. See if its his family saying o you don't need to be with her cause she has a little girl and that may cause problems, or see if its a friend saying similar things. Then I would confront them if thats the case. If its not the case then I would deffinately look into the possibility of him cheating on you. Usually another woman is the main reason for those excuses to start popping up. take care i hope things work out for you to benefit both you and and your daughter

This is strictly my opinion . I say let him go your child should and always come first. If he cant accept the fact there is a daughter involved than he cant accept the person he is dating. He isnt even worth the time or effort to try to resolve that matter. In my opinion if any man cant accept the fact that I have a son.It wouldnt take me a second to think about it id say BYE dont let the door hit you on the way out. That would b it. But as I state alot everyone is different.
