[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But six years is recent. If he was so unprepared to be a father to his own child at that point, he can't have changed that much in the intervening years. [/quote]

Why not?

Freshmen entering undergraduate are very different than graduating Seniors, and even more different than those who finish Grad school.

Six years of effort in the Army is the time between Private and coming up on Staff Sergeant.

It isn't fair to take an arbitrary time frame and declare ipso facto that it's impossible to change.  We don't know what happened to this fellow in the intervening time.  Having to make a choice like he did could very well have given him a severe reality shot and inspired him to make changes in his life.  The OP says she likes him, and here he's being condemned as a selfish man-child via some pretty thin gruel.

I'm still inclined to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

Most college freshmen are 18/19.  At 26, I wouldn't describe him as a man-child. [/quote]
