will men accept a child from a previous partner in a new relationship??

Question

do men feel jelous of your prevous partner if youve got a kid with them or is there another reason?

Answer 1

Personally I would, so long as you were upfront about the situation. It would be more important to me that the child could accept another guy being around...
Don't worry about the jealous types - they're generally not worth bothering with. Old green eyes is a monster.

Answer 2

It's always a difficult situation, some men will take on the child as their own and others will run a mile.

I don't think it is a case of jealousy it's more that your ex will always be there where as if you didn't have a child he probably wouldn't be in your life. Plus Men may feel a little jealous of the bond that you will have with the babies father regardless of if you get on with the dad as it's something that you won't have with your current partner.

My Mate was pregnant when she met her current man and they babies father was not around at all and he took it on as his own and now they have just had a baby themselves he is amazing, i don't know how many men would do that!

Answer 3

It depends on the man and how he feels about dating a single mother. Some men don't mind at all while others won't date a single mother because they can't handle the fact she has a child. It takes a special man to date a single parent and accept that her child is part of her life and becomes part of their relationship. Having a child has nothing to do with your past partner some men get jealous because they want all your time and can't share you with a child

Answer 4

Suppose that would depend on the type of the man involved. A man would have to accept and care about my child or he would be history. Some men (and women) are naturally jealous types. However, those that are not may become jealous if you give them reason to be. If there seems to be more between you and the parent of your child than just issues concerning your child may cause problems.

Answer 5

the question should be, will i & my child accept a new man in our relationship. I kept my new man away from my child until 9 months into our relationship. We all had to know the relationship was serious before any of us moved onto the next step. its turned out fine for us because we both put the childs needs first. find a man that agrees thats important too and u should be okay. if he loves u he'll naturally learn love anything u have created 2

Answer 6

Some men can but some are jealous of the attention you give to child. I am not sure if this is because of the link with the ex or just an insecurity with the man. It can be particularly difficult if they dont have a lot of contact with children prior to meeting your child as they have no idea how demanding children can be.

My ex was a nightmare, at first he was ok but then he didnt like me buying things for my son, paying him attention etc. Take things slowly. Good luck

Answer 7

Well, yes they can. In my experience though, it's not the same thing. My husband never got involved with the kids (but then, neither did their real father!) and left the childrearing to me. We have our own children now, and he'd leave it to me if he could, too.
My son's fiancee has a son of her own and there are definite tensions. I was very strict and my children were well behaved and so my son can't accept disobedience. And his fiancee is so sweet and gentle that her little horror walks over her. He keeps his mouth shut (my son) but I am waiting for the explosion.
It's not an ideal situation. Jealousy might be part of it, but having someone else's child living with you when it isn't your own, can be very hard. I didn't understand it at the time when I married my second husband, but I do now.

Answer 8

Ive done it in 2 relationships. The trick is to be friends with the child and not try and be dad No2. You can never love someone elses child as much as your own but you can get close. Jealousy shouldnt happen but if it does it needs to be discussed openly and honestly and dealt with appropriately, in an adult fashion. The first time i did it, it was extremely hard to deal with. The second time was much easier because i had experience. Its always the adults responsibiltity to deal with the situation appropriately. Communication is the key

Answer 9

some men will accept a child from a previous partner in a new relationship. it just mainly depends on the guy that your dating and the age of the child

Answer 10

i know a question cant be answered by a question but some questions needs to be asked
1> do you really love this woman.
2>do you really love her kids.
3>how old are the kid
kids are a part of her and they are considered as a symbol of love in many cultures.they will be like a constant reminder that she actually loved some one else b4 and that it just cannot be forgetten.secondly it is not just a woman its like a small family.you ae like getting married to a family are you ready for it.kids are a big responsibility bith physically ,emotionallyand financially.are you that secure.are you ready to accept such big responsibility. And lastly it will be very difficult for me to accept her as my wife.its just the thought that she was some one elses woman whome she loved accepted his genetic code his dna and asked him to fertilize her egg and that dna of his stayed in her body for complete 9 months.and memories of him etched for a lifetime. its simple if you love a gift given by some person in some small way you also like the person who has given you that gift.in some small way she will always keep loving this other guy and that just cant be denied.
now abt the kids . the age is important .if they are still small wnough to accept you as their father then no problems they eill love and respect you.if they are big say 5 to 6 yrs old lod enough to understand who their biological father was there will always be a comparison issue .and they eill remind you of their memories of their father .and trust me as a man its just difficult to hear abt you child praising another man.and telling you he could be a better father..are you ready for it if you are then you have my best wishes if you are not ready fo it find another partner.
