Most women aren't like that, some are. I don't think it's a very good idea to disparage your competition. What about your job do you like? What do you do? What are your challenges and rewards? Is this a career, and if so what more are you going to do to advance?

How about the fact that @ 26 years old I bought my own home?
I would think most "good" guys would also have a place of residence. I don't know how this is relevant, unless you want an immediate roomate?

How about the fact that I put myself through college?
A lot of people did. Where did you go? What did you study? What friends did you make? What mistakes did you learn from? What did you get out of college?
I could go on...
Those examples are all things you've done for yourself, not anything you would bring into a relationship.

What do you bring to a relationship? Why does somebody need to be with you? I think you need to evaluate this.

Since I think you'll talk about looks; let me use an analogy. Looks are basically your Cover Letter, when trying to get a job. A good cover letter will get your resume looked at, but it's not going to ever get you hired.

Hi all- I'm a 28 year old, single gal. Recently an older man, 45 years old, has taken interest in me. I do like him and it isn't really the age that is the factor...it's more his living situation and the fact that he has A LOT of baggage.

He is divorced with a 10 year old son. He wasn't married to his ex-wife very long. He got her pregnant and she said if he didn't marry she would have an abortion. Shortly after the kid was born, they filed for divorce. This was about 10 years ago. In between he has had some relationships. His last relationship ended approx. around new years time. She had 2 kids (not with him) and she and the kids were living with him...and still are! Even though he is not with this ex, I, as someone who he is trying to court...can't even fathom this situation. He told me I cannot come over his place b/c his ex is living there and she would be furious. I don't understand why he can't just get the balls and kick her out...or speak up to to her and say no and invite me over.

I don't want to have to inconvenience anything to have a relationship with him...just to keep HER happy. I want to be able to have a boyfriend and visit him freely and not have to worry about an ex or her kids or any other drama. Not only that, but I googled him and I found out that they were engaged- NOT just boyf/girlf...but he hasn't admitted it to me.

So I guess I'm a little stuck. He is a very nice guy, so that's the part that is telling me it's worth it...but the baggage is just too much for me to handle. Plus, I feel if he indeed WAS engaged to this woman, then he isn't being honest with me.

Thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
He's not going to do that because he's still in a relationship with her and looking to make you his side dish. In other words, you've got a liar and a cheat on your hands.

C'mon, JDawg. I know we've disagreed before, but you're smarter than this.

JDawg, you should go over to his house, or call if there's a land line, and ask the ex-GF/fiance why she would be furious if you came over since they're not together anymore.

He did invite me over on Sunday, so it's a start...I don't know if I would go. Apparantly *she* got a job now, so who even knows if she would be home.? She might not even know anyone came by at all.
