Doubtful. My parents were divorced when I was so young I don't remember my father ever living with us. He was never around when I was growing up and my mother never remarried. I grew up just fine.

No, but it will affect him if you wait and get re-married when he is in his early teens. My son was 13 when I moved in with my now husband and 15 when we got married and he would even tell me that he was jealous. He was so use to having me to himself and being able to say hey mom lets do this and of course if I thought it was cool we would just jump up and do it. But then when I got married well of course I had to make sure it was okay with my husband and of course he would want to join us. And then my son would be like nah, its okay I really don't want too. Even to this day my son and I do not have the same relationship as we had before.

You can help your son by explaining to him when the time is right, why you are not married. Teach him to be a gentleman, and right from wrong, which is your best means of bringing up a good man. He will appreciate that for the rest of his life, and so will some female alone the way.

No, not really. The most important thing is that he knows that you love him, that you will always be there for him and that you will support him in all that he does. He may ask questions about his missing father, but you can tell him that part of the truth that is best for his age until he is old enough to really understand. I raised my son and daughter after my wife left me. He was 12 and she was 6. Never remarried, so I was both mother and father to them. They are both working, both out of jail and contributing citizens. I don't think I messed them up too much.

The only thing that would effect your son in a negative way is to see you with tons of different guys. Wait for Mr. Right to be sent to you, so he can show your son how he needs to treat a lady. Don't rush it your time will come. God has someone for EVERYONE

Not so sure it will. You teach your son the values in life and what is good. If you love him and tell him things are ok and your happy it shouldn't matter. When he is old enough you can talk to him about it and tell him why you didn't marry and who knows maybe one day you will but as long as he knows hes loved thats all that matters.

No I don't think that makes a difference. He will always want to see his mother happy though. And also I hope your son has a good male role model in his life for him to grow up around. Boys need that male person around.

Of course it will. So would seeing you married to a jerk, a loser or an abuser.
Turning left out of the candy store instead of right will affect him, one way or another. The only issue is, what will affect him (and you) for the better, or the worse.

It should not affect your son as long as you give him positive views of marriage. It is OK to choose a single life but I think it is better to have a life partner if possible

Of course, everything we do affects our children. However, it need not be negative. What he will take with him much more is your happiness, your love, your support of him and his dreams. A happy single mom will be much more beneficial to him than an unhappy pair of parents.
God Bless!
