While there is insufficient info about the woman in the post to conclusively claim that she is indeed employing a dual-mating strategy, this post is being allowed under bailout to educate men to not do what this guy has chosen to do.

That said, remember Rule 1. We are not here to shame the man. Learn from his mistakes and become better.

In the future, posts that are a little off-theme and those that might be controversial in reddit will have to posted in our backup forum and need to be cross-posted here. Comments will be redirected to the backup forum to ensure that they do not get taken down for political or ideological reasons. For now, comments are open in reddit, but we encourage you to create an account in forums.red and to redirect your comments there.

Thanks goes to u/redhorndog for indulging us by posting this in the backup forum.

22 years old and already getting involved with a single mom. Don’t be that guy, because he’s about to get a huge wake up call. Hopefully he learns quick and the damage is minimal.

Former coworker of mine just recently got himself in a bad situation. Had a kid from a previous marriage (she cheated) that he just finished paying child support for. In comes this younger, cuter chick and she ensnared him. She already had 2 kids from another guy. He ends up having 4 kids with her, and lo and behold, she just divorced him. So now he’s on the hook for 4 kids (not sure what his responsibility is with the other 2) for the next 18 years.

Just stay away from single moms.

I'm guessing this guy lives in a non-western country, it's the only explanation I can find to his preposterous behavior.

What the hell?

Sounds like she's taking advantage of this guy in just about every way possible. He sounds absolutely innocent. Like a child, almost.

I want to believe this can't be real, but I suspect it is. Find an innocent dude with money that doesn't know better, love bomb him a little, make promises, and then it's easy street for her.

Poor bastard. I suspect he hasn't had much (or maybe any) experience dating, much less sex or a relationship. Hell of way to possibly get introduced to it; if he figures things out or his parents somehow get him out of there before he gets trapped (maybe even baby trapped! - with likely her getting pregnant from someone else) he'll be much better for it. She's going to string him along for any and all use she can get out of him and maybe even his family. Disaster brewing there.

Forget the parental concerns, this dude is just 'not ready'. That she is a single parent though not favorable is not the highest concern in my view. The young man, needs to focus on career and quit worrying about the woman. Besides, if his job prospects take him to another city or state what then? She prepared to move, which I doubt? This is a situation where a bomb goes off at the end of the 'relationship' if you can call it that.

"A smart man learns from his mistakes, a wise man learns from the mistakes of others."

There is a whole course of knowledge to be gleaned from this dude and his situation.

Not shaming him, he seems like a stand up guy. But he's also being used. He's being treated to the responsibility, but given none of the credit or reward for it nor is he demanding to be treated like the fatherly role to which he's been elevated.

The lady is a real piece of work. I don't need to know much about her to find her actions repulsive. She's using this dude's good will and naivete to ease the burdens of her own choices and, in a sane world, should be ashamed. Of course she won't be ashamed, she'll be lionized by the "Yass Queen Machine" (to coin a phrase).

This curdles my blood. Prayers for this dude. Because let's be honest, once he has that nice job he's hoping for, even if he wisens up and tries to get out of this mess you KNOW that she'll be trying to sue him for child support for another man's kid.

"But your honor, he took on a fatherly role! My kid FEELS like this is his daddy!"

"Child support granted, visitation denied"

Young and naive. Hopefully he figures it out soon

This is weird as fuck.

Imagine if the genders were reversed jfc....

Not gonna shit on the guy, he's obviously very inexperienced with women and possibly socially awkward.My only hope is that he doesn't take too much damage from the eventual outcome of this relationship and is able to bounce back and have a productive life.

My father's exact words. My grandfather had an even less charitable commandment which I won't post on Reddit, not even here.

Saianna · 2022-03-28T11:53:18+00:00

i really hope that whatever forum/sub it was posted in people helped him remove the cupids arrow embedded deeply in his soft, innocent ass.
