Red Pill man looking for perspective on this question thats been bothering me.
Me: Tall, relatively attractive, succesful, 33 YO man (I have options)
I am currently in a 9 year relationship (not married) with two kids. She has another kid from another man from before we met that I have raised as my own. Needless to say - while she is good to me and I do love her, I definitely got into the relationship before I was red pill and I have stayed (even since the start) mostly because of a surprise pregnancy and a feeling of obligation early on.
I've been doing the plate spinning thing for a while concurrently to my current relationship (I see other people - she does not.) My n-count is probably 16ish, with 6-7 of those being in the last 6 months (I've spent 95% of my prime years in an LTR of some kind).
We are actually engaged, but that is an engagement from 5+ years ago as well. She wants to have the ceremony, I have been putting it off. I live in a state that DOES NOT have common law marriage.
I'm now thinking that I DO want to settle down at some point in the near future.
However, I am coming to the conclusion that I would only be willing to do this with a woman that was still 100% a virgin. I have tried doing all kinds of mental gymnastics to get past it (I will never find one, its just my insecurities, n-count doesn't really matter) - but its really I think what I have always wanted.
Obviously you see where this is going - my current LTR is not a virgin (clearly, she already had a kid.)
Im coming to the point that I am just thinking that I need to quit fucking around and just go for it and find what I am looking for - who cares what others think about it if its what I want.
It seems like I have 2 options: 1. Just keep fucking around with women I don't really respect that much and have fun with it OR 2. Find a woman I do respect that meets my standards and build something with her.
My 2 questions: What is your perspective on men who want their wife to be virgins or low n-count? Is this even possible in this day and age or am I simply dreaming?
I know there is other stuff in this post that is unusual that you may want to unpack, and thats ok - but lets try to keep it on topic.
Basically, am I crazy for wanting to start over? Should I just suck it up and live with my past mistakes? Or should I move on and try to find what I really want?
To be clear I am not considering abandoning my kids in any way. I have plenty of resources to support them - including the one that is not technically mine.
This is a serious question that I have been struggling with for a long-time now.
