I would never, never EVER raise another man's child. (Unless I suddenly get impotent and have to adopt :p..)

Unless the problems that caused you to fight are gone, it's not going to be any different from before. I think your financial problems will be worse than before, because of the child. And oh yeah, you'll be raising another man's child that was conceived and born while you were still married - that won't help matters.

I honestly think that ATOT has never agreed on a scale like this. Pretty much everyone is telling you to stay away from her.

Oh, and OP... if you do ignore what everyone is saying and meet up with her this weekend:

1) Wear a condom.
2) Bring some tobasco, and pour it in the condom before you throw it out.

That shouldn't be an issue anyways because you should be sprinting away from this relationship. Don't call her. Don't answer the phone when she calls. Don't make plans with her. If you happen to see her, excuse yourself and GTFO.

Just fast forward 7 or 8 years from now. If you take her back, where will you be? My guess is living in some small apartment, working your a$$ off while she stays at home (or maybe she's picked up a part time job at the supermarket to appease you). You will have no say in raising this child. She won't have sex with you because she's "too tired" from dealing with the kid all day. To add insult to injury, you will get a nice helping of "your'e not even my real dad" every time you put your foot down.

Granted, that's a worst case scenario, but do you want your life to be like that?

Agreed. She wouldn't even give a crap about you at this point if she hadn't screwed herself into this position. Now she needs some one to come help her clean up the mess.

Don't be that some one. Its time you move on and try something new. Its hard to do that after such a long time, but you must.

It's not clean anymore, plus as juvenile as it is, I couldn't go down on someone if they'd been tagged without my seed :p

Yeah, we're supposed to get together this weekend... I'm sure we'll have sex. I think I deserve it for all the money I've given her. Then, I'm gonna have to end this thing for good!

Edit: I am worried that she may have some sexual disease by now though...

For christ sakes bag it at least. We already know going on the pill is a outlandish concept for her.

I'd recommend not even using her for sex. You sound wishy washy enough on this that you don't even want to be thinking with your dick around her for even an hour.

What about all the kids that need adopting?

Those are for gay men and dudes that have lazy sperm. They already lost the game.

It's so ironic that when we were together and married I didn't think I was in love with her. Now, I consider taking her back after all that's happened. I guess I do love her. In any case, I NEED her this weekend, don't try to talk me out of that. It may be a little wrong, but in the scheme of things, it doesn't change anything. I feel justified in it. And even after that, if she'll be my sex buddy while we search for others, then why not?

Why not? The same reason that people with one leg don't walk tightropes: Because they're setting themselves up for a fall. Slowly, it'll go from you having the upper hand to you just wanting it to work because you think you love her.

Even if you do love her, love ain't enough. Love is like a foundation to a relationship...the house falls down without it. But a foundation isn't a house without the rest either. Its just a part of one.

it may have already been mentioned (no time to read all of the "RUN FOR IT" statements), but just think about how the kid will be dicked over when you guys split up again? if you aren't smart enough to stay away from her for yourself, at least stay away for the kid. plus, you could always become attached to the kid, and dispise her, and then what? you will just keep living with her in misery all for the kid?

Ugh, these "advice on ATOT" threads are useless. Of course we're all going to tell him to get far away, that this girl is bad for him, that he'll only find himself hip-deep in misery and saddled with a bastard child.

And he'll disregard all this advice and do whatever he wants.

Yep, well said! This is why as I started to reply to this thread initially, I stopped and thought about what a waste of time it was because he is not going to listen to any of us anyway. But, just to restate what has been said over and over... Run and don't look back!

What a bunch of pansies. :laugh:

I mean, this guy should run as fast as he can, but the idea that somehow raising a kid that was formed from a single cell that didn't come from your sack makes you less of man is laughable, at best. WTF is wrong with you so-called "men?" :confused:

if you are smart you will take the advice given by (everyone!!!) above posts.

ofcourse, advice is just that - it is an advice and it is free!!! it is upto you to take it, leave it, or modify it as per your needs. and yeah, you are still fully responsible (and face the consequences) for your actions!!!

god speed!!!

Are you fvcking kidding me? You're actually trying to use her as a fvck buddy? Holy mother fvcking sh!t. I thought you were pathetic before for even considering getting back with her. Now I think you're an outright idiot for trying to get in bed with her.

Think with your brain dude, not your penis. If you really need sex that badly, get a hooker.

Wow. Just wow.

It's not the kid, really. Even if she didn't have a kid, my advice would still be to stay away. Think about it...

They were already married, and it didn't work out. She went around sleeping with guys and screwing around... and now she wants to try again. He was miserable during their marriage, and the only reason he is considering it is because he is lonely/horny.

The only thing the kid does is amplify the situation.

As CPA said, there are plenty of men who go into relationships where the women have kids, and they end up just fine. This, however is not one of those situations.

Now she has a baby that's like 6 months old. She's moved back in with her mother. Now she wants to get back with me.

WTGDF?!

What's there to discuss?!

PLENTY of women out there. Put in in one or four.

oh yea, and don't get tricked into hanging out with the kid. If you become a father figuer for the child, the court can force you to support the child even if it's not yours. I keep hearing this, correct me if I'm wrong.

After reading this whole thread, I have severe doubts that the OP can even be saved.

Anyone who would even remotely consider taking this life-sucking backstabbing whore back after

- Fscking 3 other guys
- Getting preggers by one of them
- Moving back in with mom
- Telling you that her man-spree sex was better than you

is a FOOL!!!!!!!!!

What would this woman have to do to get you to realize she's SH1T? Fsck a horse right in your own living room and then go on and on about how much better the horse is?

WTH!!!
