That strikes me as odd. Why remain in the relationship and continue having sex when there's already one foot out the door.
The OP mentioned that his circumstance at the moment were less than ideal. Maybe he didn't want kids with her, maybe he didn't want kids with her now. I suppose it must be unreasonable to actually expect that their woman/man doesn't deceive them.

Should men / women automatically expect to be deceived by each other? What is wrong with having reasonable expectations that you won't deceive each other? By him automatically believing that she will deceive him he has already checked out of the relationship. Has she deceived you in the past OP? Was there reason to believe she would deceive you?

Just because she started to want another child and talk about it doesn't mean he should have expected her to deceive him, unless of course you want to say that women just can't help themselves and they are just oh so helpless to their own desires!

Maybe it's just bizarre to me to have a sexual relationship with someone when there's so much that needs to be worked on.


And your comment still doesn't address what I asked that other poster. It doesn't really matter though. The OP will do what he wants.

So then why be in a relationship with this woman in the first place?

I don't spend time with men who are dbags, so no, I guess I don't understand that line of thinking.

>girlfriend wants more children, has one already with the poster
>poster has a solid deterrent (no money for another kid)
>laid out the trap
>successful, even though the woman has a child with him already, why more?

solution: send her down a flight of stairs. out the front door. 2 (or 3) problems solved in 1 step

life lesson: if the woman dances around pregnancy, do not sex under any circumstances

I'll choose to believe my quote, as I am a man and a man said it (not saying I just believe men, but this one seems to be spot on). Thanks though.

Do you consider yourself a man with options, rorytmeadows?
