I am dating a man (and love him dearly), and he's recently proposed. I'm uncertain partially due to view of my friends. SItuation, he has a daughter (age 7) and he is a terrific dad to her. We live in Boston, she lives in Maine. He does everything for her. He has another daughter, age 3, she lives in the midwest. He has never attempted contact with her, and doesn't plan to. Totally absent. He has been contacted by the mother on several occasions but he insists on the mom "finding a new dad" for their daughter so he can be "out of the picture". This is disturbing, but I still love him. I need input. Should I assume he could possibly go down this same road with me in the future, completely dismissing my child (if we conceive one....after marriage)? When I ask him about it, he says that she "trapped him", and he isn't going to be taken advantage of. Yes, he pays support on both children (by court order). Ladies, would you stay away? Move on? Men....input too please.
