My Boyfriend Knew About My Four-Year-Old Daughter for a Year — But the Second He Finally Saw Her Face, He Went Pale and Broke Things Off
I tell every man I date on the very first date that I have a beautiful four-year-old daughter. That way, if any of them have a problem with it, they know right away.
Stephen, who I had been dating for over a year, knew from the beginning that I had a daughter. But I was hesitant to introduce them because I know how quickly kids can get attached.
After my divorce, I tried to be a responsible mother. I didn’t want to disrupt my daughter’s life by constantly bringing new men around her, so I decided I wouldn’t introduce her to anyone unless the relationship became serious.
When Stephen and I celebrated our one-year anniversary, I finally decided it was time for the two of them to meet.
