[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm a man. I have no children of my own. [/quote] What was your goal when you married your ex? Did you even discuss patenting her son? Did you want to parent him? Did you want a child with her? [/quote] My goal was to be in a loving [b]partnership[/b]. We definitely discussed parenting her son; we went to pre-marital counseling and had worked out, at least in verbal commitments, a bunch of 'ground rules' for how things would work. I did not particularly want to parent him, nor did my ex, her ex or her child want me to parent him. I did want a child with her, but we were unable to. I do wonder how much that would have changed things. However: her child was not in and of himself an issue; the issue had more to do with her relationship with me, and that she made it very very clear she would always prioritize him ahead of me, even when there was no competing claim or need to prioritize anyone.
