[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I appreciate everyone weighing in. I was hoping to get more feedback from people who have been in a similar situation as perhaps the spouse or child in the dynamic. Some of you are being extra harsh  and assuming the worst.

It’s like there is a hive mind in this post when it comes to this post.

We are both people who love kids and family, hence why this is even a consideration. My fiancé loves being a father and believes in family first. He doesn’t see kids as a burden, which is why he would entertain this. And also why dating a single mom was no issue for him. I happen to think this is a good quality.

Everyone here is so concerned with optics and 401k’s. Life is about family and love people.

When it comes to my 8 year old she hates being an only child. She’s begged me for a sibling for years and this is the first time I’ve been able to consider giving her one. She loves my fiancé and is excited for our life together. They mesh well together and we took out time dating and integrating the two of them. Doesn’t mean there may not be numbs down the road, who knows. But we are giving it our best. And they both approach each other with hearts wide open.[/quote]

I did weigh in early on, I'm the PP whose ex has 3 kids from 3 different women. It has not worked out for him.

At 39, hopefully you aren't like me - on miscarriage #6 and 3 years of infertility of unknown origin. Not exactly a fun way to spend your marriage.[/quote]
