I have a cringe inducing confession to make. I do not know who else to tell, and so I will post it here fulling expecting a well justified internet ass whupping. I deserve it. I deserve some tough love because I have no self-respect and have debased myself into near cuckoldry.

Approximately two and a half years ago I met a single mom who I simply intended to have sex with until that was no longer mutually satisfying, and then to move on. Unfortunately, I caught feels for her badly and now I cannot seem to find the courage to end this relationship with her. Things have come to a head for me after meeting her son, spending a weekend with them both at a rented cottage, and witnessing how poorly he has been raised. I will not belabor the point; however, suffice to say that he is far, far behind boys his age in terms of basic manners, common hygiene, personal discipline, and social and cognitive ability – he will be turning twelve and during a board game I discovered that he could barely read. I suspect that his development has been badly neglected. I do not wish to say anything further about him as his faults lie entirely with his permissive, indulgent parents. I suspect that she wants me to step in and fix her errors in raising her son. It is a task I DO NOT want to do. I will not do it. It is too much work, and there is nothing in it for me.

The fact that she is a single mom is not even the worst of her flaws. Before I met her – and likely for some time while we were having sex – she was a sugar baby. She is covered with tattoos. She is a former cutter (self harm). Why am I so attached to this woman? Initially, I did not care about any of these things because I was in it for the sex.

The plan:

Deposit firearms, electronics and other valuables with a friend.

Once she has had her period, take out the trash. Demand key back, or have locks changed. Cancel credit cards. Change passwords on everything: amazon, Disney +, YouTube etc.

Am I missing anything?
