One thing to remember is that as you get older, it becomes more and more difficult to find someone who doesn't have children and/or who has never been married before. I never considered dating someone with kids, and I never had before I met my current boyfriend. It's definitely been an adjustment for me, but I've come to love him more because of his devotion to his kids.

It sounds to be like this guy is doing everything right. He's taking care of his child, he's involved in his/her life, and he is not expecting you to be involved in any drama with the child's mother. That being said, if you both being new parents whenever you have a child with a partner is that important to you, then you should end it. That's something that he cannot change, so if you can't accept it, moving on is probably the best option. One thing that's been tough for me is that I will never be #1 in my boyfriend's life, his kids will always be first. I think that's appropriate, but I really hate it sometimes. If you stay with him, his child will always be a part of your life and the lives of your future children if you have any with him, but if you really want to be with him maybe you could try adjusting to that idea. Sometimes what holds us back is simply the idea in our heads of "how things should be."
