I have been with an older man for two years. My 5 yr old son has grown to love and respect this man. Now, all of a sudden he doesn't want to raise another man's child. Well, that is fine, technically, he doesn't! I cook, I clean, I take care of my child and myself financially! All that I ask of him is to drop him off at school when I go into work early or pick him up from after school care when I work a little late. He has actual contact with my son maybe 4 to 6 hrs a week! We don't do anything as a family anymore.
